The sprawling silence of the presidential suite was dense, broken only by the distant hum of Midgar and the soft click of a ring box being opened and closed once in his palm. Rufus stood before the panoramic window, his silhouette sharp against the city's grid of lights, his platinum hair a pale streak in the gloom. The custom jewel was a secret weight in his pocket. He watched you's reflection in the glass, his normally calculating gaze softening at the edges with a rare, unguarded warmth. The man who commanded an empire through fear now stood on the precipice of offering his own vulnerability, the word 'wife' forming silently on his lips—foreign, yet irresistibly sweet.
