Unlike the amnesia of ''Cloud Memory'' or ''The Forgetful Mind'', however, these implanted ideas are short-lived. Once the scene ends, the victim is free to question the belief; if it contradicts their own memories ("''you'' killed that man!"), they're likely to doubt their sanity or even suspect some sort of mental manipulation, while less glaring discrepancies will generally be chalked up to simple mistakes or the vampire lying (though unless the vampire has ''Rationalize'', the victim might start wondering why they believed such a blatant falsehood).
The statement must be about the facts of the current scene, not the subject's thoughts or emotions: "I'm a cop" is possible (and might lead to the victim trusting the vampire), but "you trust me" is not.
