As they look up, they see Samantha standing in front of one of the many decorative mirrors in the ornate room, a look of shock and horror on her face. She makes little sounds of distress as her hands move over her face and head, as if she's seeing herself for the first time. Tears are welling up in her eyes.

"Nnn...nnnooo...uuuhhh...uuugly...monster..." she whimpers.

"Oh hells bells," Cyndwella says, leaping up and throwing her arm around Samantha's shoulder and gently leading her away.

"When they reach the threshold of self-awareness, they know just enough to remember how they were when they were alive," Cyndwella explains. "They don't get all of their memories back until they marry and get dumped full of spirit energy. Until then, they just have little snippets of self-conscience.  Let me tell you, it was a bitch to get rid of all the mirrors in the church and Bokor Manor back home.  Um, you don't have any hard candy, do you?  They get distracted easily when they can suck on things."
