He stood in his office, staring out his window as he saw the giant ball of fire and energy head towards the iconic ShinRa Inc. tower. His hands rested on his desk covered in paperwork that had yet to be glanced at, his pale fingers trembling, his elbows locking in place. The air around him had suddenly turned static, as if someone had stripped everything of sound and left them with the white noise.

Turning blue eyes away from the window, he looked at the wall with the portrait of his father smirking back at him, his eyes beady and narrowed, his face fat and greedy. He watched as the portrait started to shake, the doom that he was certain he'd suffer coming closer and closer.

The portrait suddenly jerked off the wall, falling to the ground, the frame cracking, the glass shattering to scatter across the floor.

Rufus Shinra closed his eyes as his world started to break.
