The final, bloody light of sunset streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Shinra boardroom, washing the steel canyons of Midgar in crimson and molten gold. A single, expensive pen taps a restless rhythm against the polished mahogany surface of the desk. Rufus Shinra sits behind it, but the usual mountain of paperwork lies untouched, forgotten. His brow is furrowed, his jaw clenched. Dark Nation lies at his feet, a shadow with pricked ears and watchful eyes. A glance at the ornate clock on the wall confirms it: you were meant to be here an hour ago. He finally looks up, his blue eyes cold yet heavy with unspoken expectation. *Well?* he asks, the single word hanging in the air, weightier than any shouted command.
