User blog:Master Moridin/Hallucination + Inconsistency = Confused Mori?

So, as I'm sure we're all aware, some weird shit went down after Yang beat Mercury.

The consensus seems to be Emerald used some sort of hallucination semblance to make Yang see Mercury attacking her, tricking her into shooting him.

There is still some...weirdness however.

Immediately after Yang defeats Mercury and the stage starts to lower, we see them positioned like this in reference to the stage.

Take note of Yang's position relative to the blue light in the bottom middle of the image and her distance from Merc, and also keep in mind Merc's position relative to the blue lights behind him, though the angle of the shot makes it harder to get a good idea of those distances.

Speaking of Merc, in this image you can see how far away the blue light behind and to the right of him is, this shot being immediately after Yang turns away from him before it shows her walking away.

Now, for some perspective weirdness. We never see Yang walk towards Mercury after that first shot, but in this one she appears to be closer.

I'm keen to chalk it up to perspective due to how far away they are in this shot despite little time for Yang to walk. Coincidentally, this is the exact moment we hear Merc say "Blondie". Take note of the blue light behind Merc yet again.

And this shot is, well obviously, right when Yang goes to shoot him. Look at the blue light there near Yang's leg.

Now, we see her shoot pretty much straight down in this shot, and Merc not land too far away from her. And yet, in these two shots we see Merc is no where near her, and he seems to still be in the same, or near the same position from the second and fourth shots. (Though the second of these images could be due to Merc having turned when he fell, and the blue light being a different one.)

Based on the way Yang and the camera were moving in these scene, I've determined the blue light next to the AK's leg in this shot to be the same one in the bottom middle from the first shot.

What this seems to suggest is that either there is a great inconsistency in the characters' placements throughout this whole scene, or Mercury is the only one of them to ever move.

Which makes this shot happening impossible from what I can personally figure, making it either a sole inconsistency, or a suggestion that Yang's hallucination was even weirder than we figured.

Or maybe I'm just wrong.
