    Summary

    V has a ticking time bomb in her head—a prototype biochip now threatening to overwrite her mind with the engram of legendary rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. Betrayed, desperate, and running out of time, she’s forced to seek help from the very corporation she once turned her back on: Arasaka.

    Goro Takemura, once Saburo Arasaka’s stalwart bodyguard, has been branded a traitor after being framed for the murder of his master. Driven by loyalty and vengeance, he vows to unmask Saburo’s true killer—and claw his way back into the good graces of the very corporation that wanted him dead.

    When their paths collide, V sees Takemura as her only shot at stripping out the biochip that’s killing her, while he regards her as the sole witness to expose his master’s true killer. What begins as a fragile alliance of necessity slowly unravels their beliefs. As the lines between enemy and ally blur, something deeper takes root—one that could crumble at any moment or become the only thing either of them has left.

    Summary

    It made her sad that the voice never responded to her, never gave any sign of having heard her. She told herself that it would have been worse if he had responded. That way lay madness, delusion. Alan could not respond to her because Alan was dead. It would have been monstrous to replace him with an imagined husband, to comfort herself with a fake conjured up from her own mind while the real thing lay cold at the bottom of the lake. It was the sort of thing she could only forgive herself in dreams. She couldn't help what she dreamed, after all. And if, in the dream, she came to believe for a moment that she was really speaking to her husband, and that he was really speaking to her, seeing her, touching her — at least she would remember the truth when she woke up.
