* When Shaun finds out the Disraelis dog is also named Desmond he feels the universe is mocking him. Rebecca then says that she's seen Shaun go into his room with a bottle of whiskey and can hear him crying. Later Shaun reveals that he really misses Desmond and how he has taken more dangerous field-work because of it.

** Made even worse by the fact that it is ''all'' Evie's fault; if she'd kept her gob shut and worked ''with'' Jacob, she could have fixed his problems before he even made then, thus avoiding the argument and problems in the first place. Her inability to be smart enough to move past her father's teachings and her feminism almost fuck over their relationship.

* The final Modern Day cutscene, before TheStinger. [[spoiler: Violet de Costa aims her gun at Shaun and Rebecca tackles him, taking the bullet herself. Shaun sits for the rest of the scene with the injured Rebecca bleeding out in his arms. Considering the amount of times Rebecca's saving of Shaun's life is brought up, it makes the scene particularly poignant.]]

* In the DLC we have [[spoiler: Jacob seeing the kid that he rescued and trained into the Brotherhood personally become a SerialKiller. Even as Jack hunts him down, all Jacob can do is plead with him to stop and desperately wanting to help him]].
** Alongside that, [[spoiler: Jack took over the Rooks. Your heroic gang of green-clad Londoners is now no better than the Blighters they were organized to fight. Jacob had to see the gang he and Evie created as a force of good become perverted and twisted into something evil, and know that he was the one who gave Jack the tools to do it.]]

-->''Perhaps his greatest contribution to society was to inspire millions of young men around the world to grow disastrous neck beards, wear skinny jeans, and bloviate endlessly about the "capitalist machine" whilst drinking thimble of artisanal coffee in neighborhoods that cats wouldn't be caught dead pissing in.''

--> '''Evie''': Do not be afraid. I will continue your experiment.

* The database entry on Juno ends on a very sad note, making it clear that Shaun carries a lot of guilt for the part he and the team played in unintentionally freeing Juno at the end of [[AssassinsCreedIII AC3]].

-->''One time in Norway, I saw Galina talking to herself. When I asked her about it, she told me that she was talking to her dead sister, who follows her everywhere she goes! #NOPE -RC.''

* Galina Voronina's backstory, crosses over with NightmareFuel. Her mother was an Assassin scientist working on early versions of the Animus. She forced Galina, Galina's twin sister and all the other Assassin's working there to use the Animus for extended periods of time, not knowing about the [[SanitySlippage bleeding effect]]. Galina escaped and brought back a team of Assassins who were forced to [[MercyKill put down]] all the crazed Assassins. Galina personally euthanized her mother and sister.

---> '''Evie''': [[spoiler:To suffer the penalty of too much haste, which is too little speed!]]
---> '''Jacob''': [[spoiler:''Don't you quote Father at me!'']]
---> '''Evie''': [[spoiler:That's ''Plato'', and either way you could use the advice!]]

* Seeing Karl Marx so idealistic and optimistic, dedicated to reform and criticizing hasty violence is this for some people, it's hard to forget watching this earnest gentlemen knowing how his ideas [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober would eventually]] [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin take shape]] [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar in the 20th Century]].

* During a mission where Evie and Henry are working to retrieve a set of blueprints, Henry is captured and Evie foregoes retrieving the blueprints in order to save him. When it's clear their original goal is out of their reach now, Henry is riddled with guilt over ruining the mission.

* Watching the rift between Jacob and Evie grow throughout the game is quite saddening, each of their disagreements becoming more and more confrontational as time goes on.
