Arthur scratched the back of his head as he heard Spanish. He didn't understand a word of it, but in Night City, that didn't matter. Thanks to the widespread use of brain-computer interfaces, language barriers had become a thing of the past. Subtitles popped up directly in your prosthetic eyes—like watching a live movie, minus the popcorn.
He pushed open the door to the prosthetic clinic and stepped inside.
The first thing he saw was a muscular man writhing in pain on an operating table, face twisted like he'd just been dumped by his girlfriend. Lao stood next to him, casually gripping the man's hand while hammering away—with actual nails.
Arthur blinked. Was this a clinic or a construction site?
Then again, doctors in Night City were a different breed. Their methods might look primitive or downright questionable, but they got results. The fact that Lao was carrying out an operation with a hammer and nails was both impressive and mildly horrifying.
Arthur flinched at the sight. It brought back some uncomfortable memories.
