“Fine. Swear on these.”

The badges fell to the floor, tossed aside like those whose likenesses gazed blankly up from the plastic, a smear of blood across their faces.

Rufus stared, numbed by instant recognition.

He had seen those faces bloodied before, but like this…

To see that streak of crimson dried to black across the names and identification numbers was bad, as if it sought to erase the Turks with its finality.

But to see it spattered across the photo of that man, of that woman…

In that moment, Rufus Shinra breathed a prayer and consigned himself to death.

Nice capture of an evil moment!
Poor Rufus. He had to know it was coming sometime.
Too bad that it was so soon.

Thanks! That moment had to suck hardcore, especially after watching Kadaj wipe the floor with Reno and Rude, and knowing what's hiding under the blanket with him. (Just think, if Kadaj had reached under the blanket and found that box...)
