One week later.
These days, Night City has become increasingly desolate, but municipal statistics show that social order is becoming more stable. Uncontrollable violent crime and shootings have even reached the lowest level since the city's founding, and even the employment rate has been effectively controlled and is steadily declining.
Before seeing this situation, if someone told the two high achievers, Perares and Ryan, that economic depression could actually accompany a city becoming stable, they would definitely sneer and consider the person a lunatic.
However, the reality is that Night City is more orderly than at any time in history. Almost everyone, unless they are a born criminal, can find a job...
Of course, even criminals can find a place here, but it's certainly not the home they hoped for.
