Why subject 16 is so insane
I've developed a head canon/theory that the reason why Subject 16 was driven to insanity wasn't only because of his repeated exposures with the animus but also because the animus was in such a primitive state when he first entered that the only way he could access Altair and Ezio's memories was because he was synchronising with them in a janky 2d platformer style.
That's right, the Java, Chronicles, Discovery and Bloodlines games are canon babyy!
Edit: I feel the joke would've hit if I put this under the joke flair. But this is my headcanon now ngl.
