These endings lead to drastically different consequences for Solomon Reed, Songbird, and V.
In the Stadium base of Kurt Hansen, V can choose to help Songbird escape with the Neural Matrix, but this means that V is betraying Reed's trust as well as breaking allegiances made to the FIA. Songbird is weak and tells V that they need to get to the Night City spaceport and take a shuttle to the Moon where V and Songbird will be cured thanks to the Neural Matrix.
