Of course. The Animus can be...rather mischievous. This seems to be something a little more innocent and playful that they've concocted, but I've seen friends turn on friends because the Animus willed it. They control us and even if we are strong enough in our own worlds to withstand such actions, they seem to work past that. It can be very humiliating or even downright harmful in the end. All we can do is try to be prepared for whatever they throw at us and hope we can all still forgive each other after they've had their fun.
