[Something in Cheyenne's mind is telling her this is wrong. She's torturing someone, torturing them, and they haven't done anything to deserve this. It takes everything she has just to end the illusion, reflecting it off of something else instead. Anything else...!]
[In the end, it chooses Cheyenne's own memories to replace that illusion. While Giles is still locked in Cheyenne's gaze, the scene before him suddenly goes dark, and when it reappears, he'll find himself kneeling down in a sandy desert. And unlike the previous illusion, he's allowed awareness of the fact that both this, and the scene before, we're real.]
[The desert itself doesn't seem to contain anything, save for a few strange tree-shaped statues made of twisted glass. It's also cold, even though the sun is shining brightly overhead. And somehow, the sand seems to have a texture closer resembling snow.]
