A Second Chance is a repressed Cristina Memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
Ezio and his brother were talking in the street when Federico pointed out Cristina Vespucci, and encouraged Ezio to talk to her. Ezio, young and inexperienced with women at the time, stuttered and made a fool of himself to Cristina instead.
However, as Cristina walked away, Ezio recovered and made Cristina smile, which Federico assured him is promising. Wanting his second chance, Ezio decided to follow Cristina to her home, where she was assaulted by Vieri de' Pazzi, who demanded that she "open her legs" for him.
Ezio intervened, beating Vieri up and forcing him to flee. Vieri vowed that Ezio and his whole family would pay. Thanking Ezio, Cristina told him her name and said that Ezio had earned his second chance.
Dialogue
Ezio and Federico were talking in the populated streets of Florence.
- Federico: What about that one? (gestures his head casually toward Cristina)
- Ezio: Oh! She is beautiful...
- Federico: Okay! Then go talk to her?
- Ezio: Just like that? Talk about what?
- Federico: It doesn't matter. See, little brother, most men are so afraid of beautiful girls that, anyone who actually talks to them has an advantage! Just make it up as you go.
Ezio took a deep breath, exhaled, and walked in front of Cristina. Ezio put on a big smile and just stood there.
- Cristina: What.
- Ezio: What?
- Cristina: Why are you just standing there?
- Ezio: (stuttering) Oh. Um... Because I... wanted to ask you something. Which is... What's your name?
- Cristina: Pft! Not one you'll ever need to make use of. (She walks away)
- Ezio: Aspetta! (Wait!) I wasn't ready. I was planning on being really charming. And funny! Can I just have a second chance?
Cristina smiled, but still walked away. Federico bursted out laughing.
- Ezio: Oh well...
- Federico: Ezio, all is not lost. You made her smile! She will remember you now.
- Ezio: No, I can still fix this. I'll follow her a ways, see where she lives.
Ezio tailed Cristina to her house without being detected. Vieri de' Pazzi was found waiting at her front door. He posed for her, showing himself off.
- Cristina: I told you. I'm not interested.
- Vieri: Sì. (Yes.) But I am.
- Cristina: Get in line.
Cristina attempted to push Vieri aside and enter her house. Vieri however, lost his patience and restrained Cristina, pushing her up against the door.
- Vieri: I think not, amore mio (my love). I've decided I'm tired of waiting for you to open your legs on your own.
Ezio stepped forward, making his presence known. Vieri turned around and spotted Ezio.
- Vieri: Cane rognoso! (Shabby dog!) What do you want here? This has nothing to do with you.
- Ezio: Nice to see you too, Vieri. I think you're disturbing this young lady's day.
Vieri let Cristina go, focusing on Ezio. He took a couple of threatening steps towards Ezio, and the two began a fistfight.
- Ezio: Is that the best you can do?
- Vieri: Shut your mouth. I'll kill you.
- Ezio: Why am I not surprised to find you forcing yourself on a nice girl? Just like your father's banks treat Firenze.
- Vieri: Fool. Your father is the one who needs to be taught a lessson.
- Ezio: You Pazzi are all mouth and no fist. You've been slandering my family's name around this town for too long.
- Vieri: No more than they deserve.
- Ezio: Come on then, hit me! Give me a reason to break your neck!
Ezio eventually emerged victorious, and Vieri fled. As Vieri ran away he turned back.
- Vieri: You will pay for interfering. Your whole family will!
Vieri spat on the ground and ran away. Ezio turned toward Cristina.
- Cristina: Thank you. That was very kind of you.
- Ezio: Are you alright?
- Cristina: I am now... You asked for my name earlier. It's Cristina.
- Ezio: (bowing) Piacere (A pleasure), Cristina! I'm Ezio.
- Cristina: Well, Ezio. Looks like you got yourself a second chance.
Cristina kissed Ezio on the cheek and departed. Ezio staid where he was, staring dreamily into the distance with a smile on his face.
Outcome
Ezio saved Cristina from Vieri, and earned a second chance with her.
Trivia
- Ezio is able to blend in crowd groups, even though he has not yet been trained how to do so by Paola.
