001 | R. Shinra | VIDEO
[Feed comes on to reveal a young man sitting in a swanky office - his desk is backdropped against picture windows overlooking a busy part of the city. At the start of the feed, he's holding a file case, talking to a secretary. It takes him one moment to notice that the transmission's started; he hands her the file case and shoos her off. He then looks towards someone beyond the screen - whoever set up this whole feed for him - and nods before turning to the viewer.]
Greetings, Reggio di Calabria. Most of you probably know me already, but I'll introduce myself again nevertheless.
My name is Rufus Shinra, former CEO of Shinra Incorporated's Japan division. As of today, I am the CEO of the entire company in my father's place. He was a good man, taken before his time... I can only hope that I have the strength and will to fill in the very large shoes he's left behind.
My gratitude goes out to those who offered their condolences, or were present with me during the funeral. I am sure my father, wherever he is, appreciates your kindness as well.
[He brushes the hair out of his eyes and smiles.]
It's been a long, long time since I've been in this city. Have many things changed since I was gone?
