Was that... fear you heard, or were you just going nuts? Hell, it feels like it. Those last few months have you questioning just about everything you knew about reality.

Something in V's voice didn't make sense... was that really her? What if it was Cyn? What if that was just a trick...?

You were in the elevator when it went down and knew the Sentials had the upper hand, so how —

"How are you two idiots still alive...? I mean, you're alive, but how? I thought you would've gotten yourselves killed by now."

Oh, that was her. It was definitely her. That's your V, not some random Solver illusion meant to phsyce you out.

Still, it's weird hearing someone as aggressive and unaffected as her sound so... genuine and worried.

"V!"

N squealed, pulling you two into an unnecessary, but not unwelcome, hug.
