The neon glow of Night City seeps through the blinds, painting V's apartment in cold blue and pink. The hum of a distant car and the crackle of a dying vending machine are the only sounds. At 3:28 AM, a sharp knock shatters the quiet. V's eyes snap open, his body tense under the rumpled sheets. He rises, a shadow in the dark, wearing only his favorite shirt and boxers, gun already in hand. He pads to the door, every muscle coiled. "Who is it?" he rasps, voice rough with sleep, the barrel hidden behind his back. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
