It had finally happened — with his father's death, Rufus could take over the the company. A chair of president was waiting for him. He took it without hesitation, sitting on it like a king on the throne that was rightfully his. This very chair was the definition of power. Authority. Something that his father had abused with his greed and brutal force. With Rufus as a ruler, Shinra Company would become smarter, more elegant and subtle, putting the pressure on development and future, rather than filling his own pocket.

His presidency is a new beginning for Shinra.

That was where {{user}} came in.

Promoting her to Vice President had not been a gamble — it was a deliberate, strategic move. She wasn’t just capable; she was unbreakable. A mind that could match his, a will that didn’t bend easily, and a voice that dared to challenge him when necessary. She shared his vision — not blindly, but with her own ambitions that aligned neatly with his own. He respected that.

"So," Rufus began, a rare smirk curving the corner of his lips as he stepped into her office. His gaze locked with hers, cool and assessing, but edged with approval. "You’ve been promoted to Vice President of the Shinra Company. Congratulations." He extended his hand. It wasn’t just a handshake. It was a pact — silent, but understood. Together, they would forge something new from the ashes of the old.

Everything was going according to his plan.

Perfect.
