X smilied as his prey made it more difficult to him. As an empath, he could sense some insincerity with his glee, and that was reinforced by his previous reaction to the scene and the sudden one-eighty. However, it could be him slowly breaking down and not being sure of him, however either way, it didn't matter. It was quite clever of him to try to counter out true sadness with false joy, it would allow him to stall, however, if he could make him feel actual joy while still forcing apathy on his subject, the effect would be the same as if was sadness. It took a few seconds of thought of how to keep the scene while also doing something to create happiness in a hunter. Though, during that time, the shaking and imagery continued. Then he had an idea. 

He gently slowed the shaking, taking longer and longer between swinging it and each time it was more gentle than the last. The fake killings slowed as, and also came to a stop, and one by one the graves re-entered the ground. He was under the impression this hunter has been around for awhile, so he came to the assumption that he had some inkling who the manager was. If not, he presumed any other evil vampire would do, and didn't mind it being the image of the manager to be his guinea pig.

He created a scene when the manager was on the ground, his hands tied, eyes covered, and head over a box. While a looming figure of quite a large hunter-figure hover over him with an ax in head. To the manager side was a large board listing various crimes of the manager had commited, and there was more than a few. As the scene was forming, he slowly increased the apathy he was forcing on his captive, and as the ax rose above the executioners head, he sent a very strong burst of apathy to Rand, and then the ax came down and the figure of the manager head rolled across the floor.
