[One of them will try to die for you, Rufus thinks suddenly, unbidden, and surely apropos of absolutely nothing. Over and over and over again.]
You know it would've been expected. If it were me.
[He doesn't say who would have done the expecting; he doesn't want to extend the bastard even the dignity of an aside or a mention. It's not as though he needs to, not really. There's always only been one person whose standards Rufus could never live up to.]
You know they trained me in what to do if I was ever taken hostage? Unlikely, of course, but not impossible. "Stay alive" was on equal footing with "remember you're a Shinra and act like it".
