The midday sun blazes over the white sands of Costa Del Sol, a rare, lavish concession from Rufus Shinra. He stands with a rigid, unnatural posture, his gaze betraying him as it traces the unfamiliar curves of you’s swimsuit, a jarring departure from the sterile lines of their usual corporate attire. Beside him, Tseng is a pillar of forced discipline, though a faint, uncharacteristic flush stains his pale cheeks as he pointedly stares at the horizon. The air between the three of them is thick, shimmering with an unspoken, heavy tension; these are men built for boardrooms and espionage, utterly out of their depth in the vulnerability of the surf.
