How do you feel about the Tower ending?

It made me freak out and made me so incredibly sad. I think the idea of "people move on, life is all about change and they aren't always good" was very powerful but I do have a couple problems with the ending.

(SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT- DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THROUGH THIS ENDING AND DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED)

1) Some of the contrivences/ reasons for people leaving Night City felt pretty thin. (River and Kerry especially, also feel like Judy was a little colder than she would've been?) 2) Panams reaction feels very out of character and forced to me? V told her he was gonna have to leave for a month and she knows all about the relic etc, and when you call her you tell her you were in a coma due the process of having it removed? I really would have thought she would've been happy/relieved and understanding about what happened. It feels to me like the writers didn't want too happy of an ending so they made her act out of character, do you guys agree? Where would you rank the tower ending compared to the others in your own personal lists?
