I like fantasy stuff

I've been playing about with the red theme that I think a lot about with Misty's line "Avoid red. Mean reds." and I love how Konpeki Plaza is very heavily red lit (lights are red, there's plants that are red, the whole red lights for lockdown, and of course the red engram shard) because its very much a warning. And it also starts happening at Vik's, where you start the mission towards all of this happening.

Here be danger, do not pass go.

AND THEN the red continues, with Johnny being associated with it and it bleeds into V more and more.

And you start off wanting to avoid him, wanting him gone, and as you get closer and learn from one another, as V is slowly chipped away like the Ship of Theseus, replaced by parts of Johnny Silverhand (when does V become Johnny, when does Johnny loses all of V?) the red gets less mean, you avoid Johnny less and less, doing bantering, becoming friends, becoming two sould entwined.

Depending on the ending you choose, but in particular to the ending where Johnny takes over and V dies- I feel that Johnny turns gold, like the colour of the data stream.
