#hes the reason desmonds final days was spent in mental misery

[ethan-acfan]

So, I imagine the bleeding effect would occasionally make Desmond react differently than he normally would and instead react how his ancestors would react.

Now, because of this, anytime Bill gets mad and scolds Desmond, he just shorts circuits

because part of him wants to react like Altair, lowering his head and mumbling "yes sir" and "no sir" because this is his mentor, his boss, and he holds authority over him.

But another part of him wants to react like Ezio and point out his dads flaws in logic kindly but firmly, refusing to take any kind of disrespect. Because it's still his father, but he's also not a pushover and refuses to be treated like one.

But he also wants to react like Connor and get mad, to yell and get in his face. His father kept him isolated from the real world until he was 16. How dare he try and scold him!

Then he also wants to just walk away and cool off, the same way he used to when he got into an argument with his dad at the farm.

And he just can't agree on what to do, so he ends up just blankly staring at his dad with empty eyes as dozens of voices yell in his head. But by the time they are quiet, Bill has stopped yelling because the look in his sons eye's would probably haunt him for the rest of his life.
