Kyle thinks it's Michaela at first, then thinks it may be Margaret. If the doll is around two feet long, I doubt Kyle would think it's an actual human female. Then again, he may just be desperate for Margaret/Michaela to be okay. As someone who actually recently read and translated the chapter, I can say with absolute certainty that the Doll is one thing and that it's small.

Kyle doesn't think it's a human being. He just immediately recognizes that it looks like Michaela/Margaret. He knows it's a small doll sitting on his mother's lap while she pets it's tiny head. He also freely picked it up after it fell to the floor and Elluka confirmed it was a vessel.

Kayo's Scissors have had the benefit of not having any actual portrayal in the light novels up til this guidebook. We haven't even had the real Twin Swords of Levianta appear in any media! Even then, it seemed to start out as a two part-vessel from the beginning.

The Clockworker's Doll has appeared since its creation as one doll. It's portrayal as a small doll has been consistent in Lunacy, Praefacio, and now the guidebook.

The only time it's appeared larger is as "Michelle" onward, where we're already under the presumption the Doll awakened (as seemingly human; same with all the other awakened) vessels).

If it was two parts of the same vessel, we should've seen it in Lunacy when I.R. made it and gave it to Mikulia imo.
