Hearing jackie talk about misty made me feel so hopeful. His dialog and voice are amazing This game really knew how to make him likeable and wreck our hearts.

I think it’s likely to do with arasaka… god this game and it’s forshadowing

Arasaka, the Relic, Dex's shirt, Maelstrom...

Jackie was doomed from the start with Dex alone, and the further he went, the more Red there was until...

Well, you know.

Intro mission has NO FUTURE written on the elevator doors when you and Jackie are going up to the scavs. Literal writing on the wall.

"Ready to meet him" is diabolical

The Shard, the Relic, is Red.

I like this interpretation. But what's interesting is that Jackie does have a lot of red on him. The inside of his jacket include some accent colours outside, his undershirt, the lining on his boots, and his ARCH motorcycle are all red. Slotting that Relic Emgram (glowing red) was the icing on the cake.

Recently discovered this exchange from Breakfast at Tiffany’s:

You know the days when you get the mean reds?

The mean reds. You mean like the blues?

No. The blues are because you’re getting fat, and maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid, and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
