I miss my husband. He's not dead or anything, I'm just stuck at work.
NO SO I JUST FOUND OUT THERES AN UNUSED VOICEMAIL FOR GORO AFTER THE ENDING- he speaks informally to V when he uses Japanese and uses the more informal honorifics "-Kun" for male V or "-chan" for female V and basically admits he cared deeply about them and that he was calling to give a proper and permanent goodbye because saburo had given him a new assignment that "required him to stay in the shadows" and tells V, AND I QUOTE "for both of our sakes, I hope our paths never cross again." And THE FUCKING IMPLICATIONS OF THAT! THE IMPLICATIONS! THE ANGSTY POTENTIAL! THE HURT/COMFORT POTENTIAL!
WHY? WHY DID THEY DECIDE NOT TO USE IT!? WHY DOES PROJEKT RED HATE GORO?
New AU! Goro gets sent to perma-spy on V with the order to kill them if they ever find out!
So this is just me in major denial still over the ending of CP77 but does anyone else have a "fuck you, V lives" AU? I know lots of you do.
But I just wanted to share mine because I both find great comedic potential and angst in it.
So imagine this: after the devil ending, V gets 6 months to live, right? But what if it just turns out that Arasaka did what Arasaka does so well and just straight-up lied?
We know saburo has a very low opinion of V and makes assumptions about them in general. So what if they just thought they'd drink and party themself to death, thinking their time was about to anyway?
That's where my AU goes, and since, of course, I'm a Takemura lover, its only serves to stand that he would be given a rude awakening at their presence.
Imagine it: it's maybe 2 or so years on, Goro has long assumed V dead and had quietly mourned her (female V in my case) before moving on and settling back into his life. He's accompanying Saburo back to Night City for some kind of meeting, business blah blah, and while he's standing behind him, being his stoic guard self, he just happens to glance out the window down at the street and there's just.... V. Walking down the street as if nothing ever happened.
I know it's so far-fetched and a silly take on things, but I had to heal my own heart.
I’m sorry I saw this template and had to do it😭
For anyone curious in the subject I can settle it once and for all. I am mutuals with Rome Kanda (Takemura's voice actor) on Instagram because we both work in the industry and met because of it. Out of curiosity I asked him what his interpretation of Goro and V's relationship was and I'm proud to announce that Takemura himself said that he was in love with V by the time they kidnapped Honoko.
