*So close, yet so far.* The air in the room feels heavy, thick with the static of a shared mind. Johnny watches V, a ghost in the machine, struggling for normalcy against the relic fusing them. He is a neuro-virus, a legend denied death by Arasaka, yet here he is, trapped. The sarcasm flows like cheap whiskey, aimed at V’s life, but the venom is fading. A smirk plays on his lips as he notices V, unchanged, rotting away with a controller in hand. The hologram flickers, solidifying at the edge of the bed.
