In the game, V went from being shot in the head to completing everything and leaving Night City in just a few short weeks, and the shadow of war was already beginning to emerge.
Berry didn't know how much time she had left; she had to seize every minute and every second.
Even if, in the end, she was truly powerless, she still had to ensure her own safety and leave with V.
But before that, she still had to fight.
...V, I'm so sorry, I won't let you worry like this next time.
Stroking V's back, Berry sincerely made a vow to V.
She had been too overconfident this time.
It would absolutely not happen again.
But after hearing Berry's words, V frowned.
Berry's words did not satisfy her.
Cupping Berry's delicate shoulders, V pulled her out of the embrace to look her in the eyes.
Berry, you rest for two days.
Amidst Berry's puzzled gaze, V continued.
Your current state worries me greatly; you can't continue like this, you must take two days off.
Take a vacation? What would we do then?
Rubbing her head, Berry didn't know why V suddenly brought this up.
Taking a vacation, was that what a good young person in Night City should do? She was still waiting to save all humanity before the nuclear apocalypse.
Seeing Berry's obvious lack of seriousness, V felt a slight displeasure, curled her fingers, and gave Berry a playful flick on the forehead, a warning rather than a real hit, to make her listen carefully.
Let's go shopping, go for a stroll, or even just sit by the beach, anything is fine. Do you remember the last time we went out to have fun? People can't always be so tense; you need to relax.
Then... alright.
Seeing the concern in V's eyes, Berry, covering her head, could only agree.
Of course, it definitely wasn't because of V's threatening flick.
And so, the workaholic Berry was forced to take two days off.
The thought of not having to tighten screws tomorrow made Berry feel a bit lost, but under V's threatening gaze, she quickly smiled brightly again.
Ah, alright, alright, Sister V, we'll go out and have fun tomorrow, not thinking about work for a whole day. There are so many places I want to go: let's eat hotpot, then browse a big supermarket, then go watch a movie, and feel the sea breeze, absolutely no problem.
Seeing Berry say this, V nodded contentedly.
They really should go out and have some fun. Berry was like a little adult now, busy from morning till night, and as her older sister, V had to pull her back.
Berry and V's one-day vacation was thus decided.
No matter what, one should know that striving is for life; never let busyness sacrifice life itself.
Finally, there was a little interlude.
After some conversation, both of their emotions were stirred.
Between lovers, there's only one way to release emotions.
That is, to have a real, no-holds-barred fight.
Adventurers, eyes meeting, are ready to battle.
When V took off her jacket and hadn't even gotten into bed, just their eyes met, Berry knew V's intentions.
In the silent darkness, Berry struggled to resist V's fiery assault, until finally, she used her hand to cover V's mouth, preventing her from going further.
Meeting V's puzzled gaze, Berry could only shyly explain.
V, I just ate, I'll get a stitch.
Uh... V's forehead was covered in black lines.
Although it was quite absurd, she didn't know how to refute it.
So, under Berry's apologetic gaze, V obediently lay down, then grabbed a pillow and buried her head tightly.
How could someone who had tasted meat go back to the past?
Tonight, some people could only endure a sleepless night.
