V raised his head and looked at Arasaka Yorinobu and Oda in front of him. The faint light cast shadows on the two figures, making the scene even more solemn. V slowly mustered all his strength to stand up. The Oda in front of him hid complex emotions beneath the mask that he had never fully understood. Oda used to be Hanako's personal bodyguard and a comrade-in-arms with Takemura, and they had a deep bond between them.
Recalling the past, V remembered a private conversation with Hanako where Oda strongly opposed, almost thwarting V's plan. Later, during the mission to invade the electronic float parade, V had a fierce conflict with Oda. The battle was unusually dangerous, and V ultimately defeated Oda, but he chose not to kill him. In V's heart, Oda was not just an opponent, but also a samurai worthy of respect.
However, the turn of fate has surprised V - Oda has now become the bodyguard of Arasaka Saburo. This has plunged V into deep contemplation; a former adversary now stands on the same side, protecting their common enemy. Facing Oda, V feels a strange sense of relief. Perhaps in the vast machinery of Arasaka, everyone must make various choices for survival, even if it means standing on opposite sides.
Oda's presence is not just a guard, but also a microcosm of the complex interpersonal network of Arasaka Group. V knows that the story between him and Oda is not over yet. What's most important now is how to face Arasaka Saburo and what kind of fate this chaotic Night City will bring to him. A hint of determination flashes in V's eyes; he is ready to face all the challenges ahead.
Arasaka Saburo's footsteps were heavy and slow, each step pounding heavily on V's heart. When he finally stood in front of V, his calm and inscrutable demeanor made it difficult for V to distinguish whether the person before them was Arasaka Saburo or his son Arasaka Yorinobu. Saburo's face was filled with anger and pain, expressions that V had never seen on him before. Suddenly, Saburo's voice thundered in V's ear, demanding to know everything about Adam's actions towards Hanako. Arasaka Saburo grabbed V by the neck with such force using Yorinobu's body, that V could barely breathe.
"What did Adam do to Hanako?" Saburo's voice echoed in V's ear. "You were supposed to be there, what exactly happened?"
At this moment, V deeply felt the despair and pain of Arasaka Saburo as a father. His hand tightly gripped V's neck, a complex mix of emotions - both the grief of losing his daughter and the anger of not being able to protect her. V struggled in Tarou's grasp, trying to respond, but his voice was almost suppressed by anger and pressure, making it almost impossible to form words.
"I... I did my best..." V's voice was weak, but each word weighed heavily on Tarou's heart.
Arasaka Saburo's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, followed by a deep sense of powerlessness. He released his grip, leaving his fingerprints on V's neck, like the scars of this night, difficult to heal. Saburo turned around, seemingly concealing his emotions, and said softly, "What has happened to this Night City..."
In the midst of this chaos and pain, V realized that he was not only facing Arasaka Saburo as an individual, but also the sorrow of a father and the harbinger of an empire on the brink of collapse.
Slowly, he spoke, his voice heavy and slightly trembling, each word seemed to reiterate the moment of powerlessness and despair. "We were driving the flying car trying to escape, but Adam attacked us by jumping directly from a high-rise... It was completely beyond our expectations. He threw me from mid-air, and Takemura and Hanako... they should have been killed by Adam on the ground."
Arasaka Saburo listened quietly, his expression growing darker. These words were not just a recount of that night, but also a testament to their shared failure. Beside Arasaka Saburo, Oda, though wearing a mask to conceal his emotions, his subtly tense body and slightly heavier breath revealed his inner anger and unease.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and then Arasaka Saburo took a deep breath, his tone carrying an indescribable emotion: "Adam... he's not just targeting the Arasaka, he wants to destroy the entire Night City. We must stop him, no matter the cost."
V looked at Arasaka Saburo, and in that moment, he saw the determination and heavy burden behind the old man. Even in the face of hostility, V could not deny that their goal was the same in the face of a threat like Adam. Suddenly, Oda spoke up, his voice muffled by the mask but his determination clear: "We need a plan and all the forces we can mobilize. Adam is not an ordinary enemy, we cannot afford any carelessness."
In this battle against Adam, the former opposition and hatred seem to have been temporarily set aside, and Arasaka Saburo, V, and Oda are all united for a common goal. This is a battle concerning the life and death of Night City, as well as a test of everyone's inner beliefs.
V's feelings at this moment are as complicated as a tangled mess. Facing the Arasaka, his emotions are filled with contradictions and entanglements. It was Arasaka's actions that once left him with only six months to live; it was them who caused the death of his best friend Jackie. Now, however, he must fight alongside them to confront the enormous threat of Adam.
Looking at Arasaka Yorinobu in front of him, V couldn't help but feel a sense of proof. Arasaka Saburo, the man who was willing to use his own son's body for resurrection, was undoubtedly a complete bastard in V's eyes. This selfish behavior deepened V's resentment towards Arasaka Saburo.
However, the current situation forced V to temporarily set aside personal grievances and stand on the same front as Arasaka. This conflicting emotion made V feel extremely conflicted. In the chaotic land of Night City, survival is already full of difficulties and choices, and now V has to face the fact that sometimes, for a greater goal, even the most detestable enemy may become a temporary ally.
V's inner turmoil is silent in the conflict. He knows deeply that no matter how complex personal feelings are, they must now unite and confront the unprecedented threat of Adam together. In this battle, their survival will determine the fate of Night City.
