History TearJerker / Cyberpunk2077

* One NCPD Assault in Progress has V mopping up a small team of gangoons standing over the corpses of a young couple. Reading the associated shards reveals that the gangoons were hired to kill the two of them....''by the girl's father.'' Her crime? [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating a man that he disapproved of]], then being uppity when he tried to persuade her otherwise. [[EveryoneHasStandards Even the gangoons' leader]] expresses disgust at the father's decision, [[OnlyInItForTheMoney but happily accepts the hit for the eddies.]]

* In an example that is simultaneously tearjerking and heartwarming, you can overhear a child telling her father that she wants to join the Trauma Team when she grows up. The father's reaction, in an example of GoodParents, is completely supportive, if cautious about how tough it is to work for them. However, his comments also indicate that [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror neither of them see anything morally wrong about the existence of]] [[InherentInTheSystem an armed ambulance company that serves only those who can pay]].

*** Even V's lifepath background as a Streetkid didn't help in any way shape or form when it comes to them interacting with the thugs. When the thugs mugged the Streetkid V, V tried to spook them off by stating that they have strong connections like Padre. The thugs basically brushed them off, as they state that [[UncertainDoom Padre is no longer in power within Heywood by the time of 2079]]. This implies that within a span of two years, the fixers that V worked with are no longer operating in Night City, or that their influence over certain areas of Night City have diminished significantly.
** During V's talk with Misty, they can tell her they intend to climb their way back to the top lack of implants be damned, accept Reed's offer for a job over at Langley, or even become a fixer. Alternatively, they can vent to her about how the loss of their implants has affected them so badly, even wondering how they're supposed to go about life in Night City if they can't even defend themselves. Misty simply tells them they're acting like the average NC citizen and that they will have to be more cautious than ever.
** If he was saved during "Search and Destroy", Takemura sends a message to V during the end credits, where he reveals that he and Hanako attempted to take over Arasaka Tower and failed, leading to Hanako's death and Yorinobu framing him for it. He's been a fugitive on the run for the past two years, and while he has finally realized the true nature of Arasaka after all that has happened to him, it's clear that he's deeply bitter at V for vanishing when he needed them most.

* Another Assault in Progress, likely the first one that you'll encounter in the game after your ride with Dex, has a small group of Tyger Claws and roughly three to four people dead, including a young woman by the name of Keiko. Reading the shards tells the story of a woman who only wanted to be free from the worst scumbag in Kabuki and Watson in general. She had a friend named Jake who took her to a ripperdoc to have the tracker that was put into her removed, with the intent of leaving Night City. But this story does not have a happy ending, as the scumbag in question had the ripperdoc shaken down for Keiko's location and then sent Takeshi Kazou and the other Tyger Claws in the group to murder her and Jake both. [[MakeAnExampleOfThem As an example of what happens when people try to skip out on him.]] This will likely be many players' first introduction to [[TheSociopath Jotaro Shobo]], the title monster of the "Monster Hunt" gig.
