Prompt: "Bleeding Effect causing mental illness. I don't mean just "going crazy" from the actual side effects of the hallucinations, or the brain damage caused by the Animus (although you can certainly throw in a hefty dollop of that too.) I mean, someone (Desmond, Clay, OC, whoever) is suffering from the Bleeding Effect of some ancestor who was depressed, bipolar, anxious, etc. And because of that, Desmond/whoever starts to develop that illness. Angst ensues. More angst. Some black humor, then more angst."
