The mirroring of the past was basically the conflict that William and Desmond had, compared with Haytham and Connor.

But I fail to see how a dead body under a tree constitutes storytelling. Unless it was an explicit start for a memory, most people will see that, go "Huh." and then carry on doing the same stuff they were doing before.

I bet the only reason it excites Darby is because he's noticing it from the perspective of a writer and developer. A consumer would hardly care.
