574 Good Night, City of Night
But in the progress of the later missions, this good brother slowly revealed a fragile heart under his hard appearance, afraid of betrayal, and afraid of loss, just like V himself.
As the plot progressed, she let down her guard step by step and showed her softest side in front of V.
That's when the players realized how much she needed to understand her.
In the aftermath of a farewell, the flames of the bonfire illuminated the side of Panan's face, and V reached out to put his hand around her shoulder, and she leaned on V's shoulder, with a relaxed smile on her face, and she was really beautiful at that moment.
Previously, everyone's goal was to become stronger, to avenge their brothers, to cry out for the oppressed, and even to sacrifice themselves to save others.
But later on, the players find that they don't know when they have changed, and they want to live, and they are afraid that the "self" will eventually disappear, and they don't want to end up being the container of the Silverhand consciousness, and they want to live and be with her.
Some say they made one last phone call to Panang before they died.
Everyone thought she was just a passerby, and although she became V's lover, she couldn't control V's fate.
Because V is ready to break the net with Arasaka Fish and finally become a hero.
But that time, Panan's voice trembled and she was in a hurry, and she said, "You will die later, okay." ā
So she came to V, and was willing to pursue that vague hope with him.
In the star ending, V broke his promise, and he couldn't stop that deadly bullet for Silver Hand, because there were still people V was worried about.
In this ending, V, Panan, and the other wanderers will leave the land of right and wrong in Night City together, and although they only have six months to live, they are content to spend the rest of their lives with the people they love.
Outside the city, the two sat on the roof of the car, looking up at the starry sky overhead.
V held up the bullet that had almost killed him from his head, and he looked down at Panan beside him tenderly.
"Good night, Night City."
"Good night, my love, we're home."
ā¦ā¦
Compared to Panan, Judy seems much more innocent.
Panang is like a specialty cigarette in a small place, a little shoddy, and it goes straight to the heart and lungs when you take a puff, but it is also because of this most direct experience that people can't stop and haunt their dreams.
Natural, crisp, direct! With her, it will be easy and comfortable.
But Judy is more like a thin orange-flavored lady's cigarette, which always gives people a fresh and refreshing feeling in this muddy night city.
But precisely because Judy lives in Night City and retains that emotional innocence, the more easily it is to be taken advantage of.
Judy's hometown when she was a child fell victim because of the profit-seeking of capital, she was fatherless and motherless since she was a child, and she longed for recognition in her heart, and she also longed for the gentle and delicate love of her parents, which is also the reason why Judy later rebelled and favored the same sex.
However, in this night city where capital is supreme, how can you live with a simple dream, Judy naturally knows this, and with her endless love for Mewtwo, she has to join the Mox gang in order to live, doing the work of Mewtwo's hair editor.
As a child, Judy fell in love with a little girl and secretly took her doll in order to attract attention. Later, she fell in love with Maiko, but in Maiko's eyes, she was just a tool, a skilled worker, and Judy also recognized this fact;
Later, she fell in love with Aveline, and in order to support Aveline's powerful ambition to cross classes, Judy unconditionally supported Aveline, helping her escape after her defeat, enduring her pain, and settling her aftermath after her suicide.
Judy's first two predecessors, Maiko and Aveline, were pure careerists.
If Maiko is considered to have skill, talent, and ambition, Aveline really has only ambition left.
Maiko's eventual defeat stemmed from the unexpected variable V, and if it weren't for V's sideways, Maiko's coup would have taken control of Genting almost nine times out of ten.
And Aveline is a big ambition to pick her feet, and after offending Arasaka and the Voodoo Gang at the same time, and offending both the temple and the grass, she actually wants to hide in Genting, and the final death is also predictable.
Judy chooses to leave Night City, and V waves goodbye to Judy.
At that moment, everyone also sincerely hoped that Judy could go to a new city, meet new friends, and escape the tragic curtain of Night City.
Cyberpunk has a total of five endings.
Suicide ending, demon ending, star ending, sun ending, temperance ending.
The suicide ending is to choose to leave everything behind, and the final ending is a phone call to say goodbye to friends, an angry Panan, and a crying Judy...... Everything goes straight to the heart, and those who choose this ending will regret it in the end.
Since they will all die, why not use their remnants to turn into fire and kill the Arasaka Tower.
The demon ending is a different ending, betraying everyone and choosing to cooperate with Hanako, in this ending, V betrayed everything in order to survive, and lost everything, and in the end he was just a plaything for Arasaka.
In the tarot, demons symbolize bondage, temptation, and ignorance, often representing being trapped by materialism and short-sightedness.
The ending of the sun is to attack the Arasaka Tower again with Rogge, stepping on the BGM of the drum, swaggering into the main gate of the Arasaka Tower, turning the fire into a stump with his body, although tens of millions of people are gone.
Maybe this is the true sun, this is the true legend of Night City!
Or, choose to give your body to the Silver Hand.
V has not lived long ago, but Silver Hand can have a new future, and this ending is also the ending with Johnny's deepest feelings.
In getting along together, although the time is short, from the beginning of the quarrel and scolding each other, to the existence of being able to block bullets for each other.
When making a choice by V, of course, he will leave the chance of life to Johnny, and V has also said that he will leave his body to Silverhand.
That's why the silver hand that wakes up is so depressed, and every time he looks in the mirror, he sighs "Ah...... vāļ¼
At the time of the memorial V, Silver Hand also whispered silently, "I won't be able to forget you in the future, after all, it's your face when I look in the mirror." ā
No matter what choice is made, V will die.
Perhaps the only benefit may be to see Jack again after death, give him a hard blow to the shoulder, and then tell him the story of what happened during this time.
Do you know, old man? The chip in the Kanbi Mansion turned out to be Johnny's silver hand, the chip was saved, but he lived in my head, and we both shared the same body.
Remember Judy? She's back home in Oregon.
By the way, I met true love in Night City, her name is Panan, and she must be the same as you.
