GILES: There is nothing but you.

(Head-shot of Buffy with her eyes closed. Quiet, meditative music begins.)

GILES: You are the center. And within you, there is the core of your being ... of what you are. Find it ... breathe into it.

(We see Buffy wearing a tank-top and pants, leaning over a short pedestal with both her hands on it.)

GILES: Focus inward. Let the world fall away ... fall away ... fall away....

(Buffy opens her eyes, leans forward and goes into a handstand, balancing on her hands on the pedestal. Shot of a large flat crystal with three smaller crystals standing on end atop it. Buffy raises one hand, balancing on the other. Shot of the crystals. A hand appears and tries to balance a fourth crystal on top of the three standing ones, but it's clumsy and all the crystals fall over with a clunk. Buffy's eyes pop open, she loses her concentration and crashes to the floor with a cry. )

DAWN: Can we go now?

(Shot of Buffy looking annoyed.)
