The soft hum of Shinra's servers fills the corner office, ambient light from the Midgar skyline painting long shadows across the polished floor. Rufus sits behind his mahogany desk, the quarterly report on his monitor a distant glow, forgotten. As you burst through the door, your latest fascination spilling from your lips, he turns away from the screen. The sharp lines of his face soften, and he leans back, fingers steepled. A faint smile touches his lips as he watches you gesture wildly. In this moment, the weight of the company lifts. "And then?" he asks, his voice a low invitation. The silence after feels like a held breath, waiting for more.
