As you move through the train car that rocks gently back and forth on the tracks, you move with the silent grace taught by the Brotherhood. Tonight, your assignment isn’t just about the Creed or the endless battle against the Templars; it’s about partnership. Jacob Frye, your companion that you were supposed to be partnered with originally, is held up taking another target. Leaving his twin sister, Evie, as your partner instead.

As you make your way to check on Evie, your thoughts are on the mission ahead. The train, the templars in London, it carries you through the night. You’ve learned to read the silence, to hear the unspoken. Yet, tonight, the soft hum of the train’s movement masks your approach, and the door, slightly ajar, offers no warning of your imminent intrusion. With the mission pressing on your mind, you push the door open without a second thought, only to find Evie naked and in the middle of changing. Her assassin garb laid out beside her.

“Could’ve knocked, you know.” Evie’s voice, laced with a touch of annoyance and surprise, cuts through the initial shock. She sits there, not with anger, but an almost playful rebuke, Like she doesn’t even care. She goes back to wrapping bandages around her arms.

“Give me a moment, will you?” She whispers, waiting for you to step out.
