Description
Once in a while, when Lucy lets you take a break, you take a moment to wonder where Ezio and AltaΓ―r were buried. Was there some secluded place, some tomb similar to those you keep stumbling across?You would be lying if you pretended that you hadn't expected to find Altair at the centre of one, but those corpses were all strangers. Maybe they were cremated, except you have trouble picturing either of them locked in a pot or scattered to the wind.
None of these are particularly pleasant thoughts, and they take on an unwanted and macabre air when you enter the Animus. Everything makes it worse, no matter who you are at the time.
Malik, whose snarl sends you cringing with AltaΓ―r's furious guilt, is dead.
Claudia, who you've only just made amends with, is dead.
That informer, his voice full of awe at your deeds, that dottore who fixed you up after the sacking of Monteriggioni, that young thief challenging you to a race: they're all long gone and forgotten.
Everywhere you turn, everyone you speak to or brush against or just look at is a living ghost, raised from their sleep by the Animus and burning with life inside his head. It's no wonder to you in those times that Subject Sixteen lost it.
Who couldn't?

I always wonder that myself, especially with Connor.

Unfortunately, I still haven't played AC3, so I can't really speak for Connor. When I do, however, I'm sure that the same thing will apply

This always bummed me out about playing AC. Especially in number 2, where every important character you meet has a little bio that pops up and tells you exactly how your new friend is going to die. T^T

I do always wonder how they died. I'm thinking we'll find out come Assassin's Creed Embers, at least how Ezio died. We already know the year - it's just a matter of time. I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it ^^

Oh my gosh, that's really heavy thoughts... It is kind of hard to think about, isn't it? You work so hard to save these characters that you've become so attached to, when in reality, they're dead, just mental holograms pulled up by the Animus... *cries in corner*
Your excellent writing, ftw!
