David Martinez lives with his mother, Gloria, in a poor district of Night City while attending the elite Arasaka Academy. After using modified software to avoid an expensive school update, David accidentally crashes the academy’s system and leaves Gloria responsible for the damage. Their argument on the drive home is interrupted by a gang shootout. Gloria is critically injured, but Trauma Team ignores them because they lack coverage, forcing David to pay for basic treatment himself. While searching their apartment, he discovers that Gloria had obtained a military-grade Sandevistan implant, apparently intending to sell it. At school, classmate Katsuo Tanaka humiliates and beats David, insulting both his poverty and his mother. David then learns that Gloria has died, leaving him with medical bills, rent demands, and no support. He sells what little remains but cannot stabilize his situation. With his future at the academy collapsing, David visits a ripperdoc and asks him to install the Sandevistan. The episode ends as David chooses dangerous cyberware over the powerless life that Night City has imposed on him.
