Johnny x V

Johnny Silverhand/V

A dead rockerboy terrorist lives on an engram in V's head, slowly overwriting the merc's brain while the two of them bicker their way across Night City. Cyberpunk 2077 forces total intimacy — shared senses, shared memories, one body between them — onto two people who start out wanting each other gone. The fandom turned that doomed cohabitation into its flagship ship.
