At first, it seems there’s nothing left of their face but a bloody mess.
But once you look closer, you start to notice details like the OP mentioned, all of which seemingly proves the OP’s claims that “normality” is hiding behind the cyberware.
“Honestly it freaked me out when I learned that if you blew their face up or did something like that there was just a whole blood covered skeleton,” commented StayLeading5015.
The OP puts forward a compelling argument, yet not all fans believe it to be true.

User Willyse responded, “My guess is they just use default NPC body and added layers on top of it. In lore, I guess they screw cyberware straight through skull.”
The OP replied saying they “kinda figured” that was the case, but that they still find this discovery “interesting”, regardless.
Discussions are still taking place over this find.
Still, what’s been seen has only served to make Maelstrom “all the more horrific”.
