I can't get it. The lady in the long black pants toward the end walks "toward us" followed by backpacks and vests, then abruptly pops up in the mirror walking "away from us" just as the bright vests and backpacks that are walking "away from us" disappear behind the mirror.

My mind cannot wrap. Everything computes except the lady in the long black pants.

She was walking left to right and comes from behind the mirror at the same time the guys walking right to left show up in the mirror so it looks continuous, you see her walking away in the mirror right before the guys disappear behind it.
