Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Episode 7 discussion

Da-hayum, Rebecca wasn't kidding. David got swole. The little guy we knew is not only living large now judging by that penthouse, but he is large too. And on top of that, he's already made a name for himself.

I honestly thought Kiwi died last episode. Good thing that assumption was wrong. Wish I could say the same for Maine and Dorio. Poor Julio, though. Here I was thinking David would get his own starry-eyed rookie to mentor for longer than a single mission.

And is it me or did Rebecca just get even more unhinged than she already is? Doesn't help that she seems like she's trying to compete with her late brother too judging by those giant ass hands. Poor gal's chasing the wrong tail, though. At first I believed she might have the slightest chance since I thought Lucy was being distant even towards David, but nope, they literally live together.

Speaking of which, that was a rough backstory. I see now what those weird black-and-white flashes were last episode. To think she was some form of "internet child soldier" homegrown by Arasaka. I guess for her, going to the moon feels like the only escape from her past. Kinda reminds me of Akudama Drive with the twins wanting to escape to the moon too.

Damn, though. Guess the reason she hadn't been joining them on gigs wasn't because she got too shaken up (at least not in that way), but because she's been spending her time and energy being a boogeyman for anyone trying to get to the Data she saw about David.

But fuck, I don't think David's learned from his mentor's mistake. He should really reconsider the path he's taking. You can only go so far even if you're "built differently".
