The late game — the Templar network nearly dismantled, Charles Lee the remaining target, the American Revolution complete and the promise of its freedom already broken for Connor's people. Not yielding is the posture of someone who knows the victory will be incomplete, who has watched the cause he fought for fail to include him, and who keeps moving forward anyway because the alternative is acceptance of the wrong. Actions defining is the game's final argument: not the outcome, not the recognition, but the record of the choices made.
