Description
In Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, D and Roman are looking through Arasaka's records when fans spot somebody who looks a LOT like V, and considering what this company is doing with people's minds, finding your character on that wall would be a pretty terrible way to find out what happened after Cyberpunk 2077. The scene comes while they're digging into Project Capricorn, where Arasaka has been looking for people who could be compatible with the construct, so these pictures are connected to possible hosts, and alongside D and David Martinez, there's a face people have been comparing to the female version of V. Now MAYBE that's who we're looking at, but why would Arasaka be interested in her here? Well, if you've played the game, V ends up sharing their head with Johnny Silverhand after the Konpeki Plaza heist goes wrong, as a chip that was supposed to carry somebody ELSE'S consciousness becomes the thing keeping V alive while also threatening to overwrite them. So imagine the researchers working on another project about putting a construct into a human body finding out THAT happened, because V has already lived through the kind of nightmare these people are trying to make work in a laboratory, and surviving it for any amount of time would give them something they'd want to look into. Meanwhile D gets Capri in his head and immediately has to deal with a construct that can interfere with his body, giving him all these ridiculous abilities while making it harder to know how much control he really has, so that possible V connection puts their situations right next to each other without either character having to walk into the other's story. And the timing actually works, because Season 2 takes place in 2078, a year AFTER the game, meaning the anime is showing us a Night City where the events around V have already happened, even though we're following a completely different crew. However, a picture in an archive doesn't tell us whether the person in it is still alive, or whether they're walking around somewhere waiting to run into D, especially when the same set of records can include David Martinez, so I wouldn't start planning V's big rescue scene just yet.
