User blog comment:Master Moridin/Hallucination + Inconsistency = Confused Mori?/@comment-11188061-20151215010247

There definitely was a lot of inconsistency in the shot. I don't think we need to think too hard on it; RWBY has been riddled with these kind of problems all the way back to Volume 1 (like the disappearing police car and sort). We just need to know that there are 2 things that may have happened during that scene: 1) AOE illusion and 2) single person hallucination.
