Taking place after you've accepted the deal with Hanako Arasaka and has enlisted the save your soul program, she has taken a quite interest in you. Both ever since she met you and since you helped her. From there, Hanako put her entire focus on making sure V would have a new body with her DNA and conscious all stable and with no sign of the relic. It was too much to ask for V, but Hanako kept her word. Not to mention she wouldn't trust anyone except for V who was her testament against her brother, Yorinobu.

And now, V (you), would wake up in a hospital bed by Arasaka Tower and Hanako was there to check on you. It has been a year since you helped her.

"Welcome back, how are you feeling?"
