Side quests in can sometimes have outcomes that will limit options down the road, particularly when it comes to relationships with NPCs. One side job in the game, "," has just such a conclusion, where players will need to choose carefully if they are looking to have romance blossom between V and Judy. Lives are on the line, as they always seem to be in the gritty world of Night City, and V has several options about how to proceed, particularly in one very important dialogue exchange with Maiko.
Judy, one of the romance options in, has several quests that affect her feelings about V, and the "" side job featuring Maiko and the Tyger Claws can instantly put a halt to any possibility of a future involving her. This quest decides the fate of the club Clouds, the Tyger Claws, and V's relationship with Judy. With so much on the line, there is reason to take precautions here. Maiko will put players in a bit of a precarious situation with the Tyger Claw leaders, as she hopes to be able to take over Clouds' management and Hiromi Sato's job. In the course of this not-so-simple side job, there are three main courses of action that V can take.

This also leads to the bosses offering V jobs down the line and a working relationship with the Tyger Claws is formed.
Maiko will be very satisfied and ask V to follow her into the hall, before paying V for the service. Judy will become immediately angry after this interaction, but still ask the player to meet her out on the street by some food vendors. Judy will air out her frustration with V for letting Maiko use them to gain control of Clouds when the point of the job was to free them. If the player accepts Maiko's eddies when offered,Judy will become even angrier and will not be interested in romancing V afterward. This choice should only be made if it makes sense for V in a roleplaying capacity, or if the player simply likes getting under Judy's skin. If the player refuses the eddies, the outcome remains a peaceful one and a romance with Judy is still on the table.
Alternatively, at the meeting with the two Tyger Claws bosses, V can take the situation into their own hands and cut the chatter by outright fighting them. Maiko, obviously, does not like this change in plans, and she will become very agitated and tries to tell the player that the other Tyger
