Looks like in the never ending quest to cure herself. V has gone down every road, sought out every alternative. So when a Netrunner friend of hers, offered her an unorthodox way of resisting the Biochip from taking over her head V agreed. However it looks like there was a few "side effects" that this type of procedure had on V that So Mi failed to mention earlier. So Mi now had complete control over V's body. No longer did V have to worry about Johnny's Endgram slowly re-writing her over. However being completely at the whims of a girl like Songbird, meant whatever So Mi wanted from her, V would do. No matter what. Which was already a big enough problem...
Until So Mi made things worse by deciding that the best way to keep V safe was to keep her on her person. At. All. Times.
