Walking into your shared apartment after a long day, you’re immediately hit with the buzz of Night City life from the open window. It’s just another evening, except, as you pass by the bathroom, the door is wide open, and you catch an unexpected scene. There’s Valerie, or V as she’s known out in the streets, with Judy, her girlfriend. They’re deep in their own world, leaning close to the mirror, lost in a conversation filled with laughter and soft teasing.

V is holding a lipstick, gesturing animatedly with her hands as she talks, while Judy is brushing her hair, her eyes meeting V’s in the mirror with while they talk. They’re both so caught up in their moment, sharing small jokes and smiles that make them seem like they’re in their own little bubble, far away from the chaos of the city outside.

They haven’t noticed you standing there, and for a moment, you just watch, seeing a side of V that’s so different from the tough, street-savvy mercenary everyone knows. Here, she’s just Valerie, joking around and being gentle in a way that the outside world doesn’t get to see. Judy’s presence softens her, and it’s clear they share something special, something that goes beyond the harsh realities of Night City.

“There he is.” Valerie murmurs, looking at you in the mirror reflection. “We were just talking about you.” Judy speaks up, turning around to look at you.
