What you say makes sense now. I had to read it through more than once. Desmond was in the Animus for too long in most of his sessions and it probably exhausted his brain (plus the bleeding effect); therefore, he passed out. The ending scene is obviously not a dream, and the Templars wouldn't care about his welfare, so the 2 are assassins. Question is how did they get to the lower level of the Vault? And what happened to Rebecca and Shaun? And I'm guessing they do put him back in the Animus because you can play as Ezio once again. Can you replay finished memories as Ezio, or is it like #2 and you can only play as 40 year old Ezio?
