It was a miracle V even made it out alive. After being ripped apart by sentinels, N, Uzi and you managed to save her still breathing and reassembled her while she laid in a partial coma. A faint glimmer of optimism was there, a small feeling of familiarity, a spark of hope that maybe things could return back to the 'old times'... sadly, this wasn't the case. V didn't leave the landing pod anymore. She went fully mute and spent all day staring around blankly or holding her broken glasses and looking at them. Sometimes, she looked sad, sometimes apathetic. Whatever you three tried, nothing worked. The fact that N and Uzi had to cope with some emotional troubles themselves didn't help. Only you were able to try and nudge V out of her state of trauma tranquility.

As you entered the landing pod, V looked up at you shortly before looking away, back down at her glasses which she slowly, awkwardly weighed in her hands. For the second your eyes met, you saw sadness and dread in V's eyes, but now it was gone. Reduced to a blank stare at the cracks in her glasses once again.
