All of what she said was a nail in his coffin, so to speak. It felt that way emotionally. Everything felt worse until her final two sentences.

You loved him. I don't think he loved you.

That caused him to stop completely. Did he love Haytham? He knew he had loads of hesitations to kill him, was that love? Could he call their twisted relationship love?

Maybe, maybe not. He loved his mother, he loved Kanen'tó:kon, and he loved Achilles (despite them fighting all the time). Achilles was his father, Achilles oversaw him growing up as a man and as an Assassin. Haytham did not. Haytham said he was proud of him, and then soon after he found his journal. He felt like he did misjudge him, and he was ashamed of that.

Then he saw him again at the school, and Connor refused to recall his feelings on that.

"I never knew him," he simply said. "I cannot claim to have that kind of relationship, even if we were father and son."

It felt empty to say that, but it was all he felt he had the right to say. Then he felt that they were talking to much about him.

"But you knew Lyon. He is important to you."
