Otacon was bound to have a conversation like this eventually, and as far as FFVII characters went, Rufus Shinra was actually not a bad choice. He chewed his food thoughtfully as he tried to figure out how to answer.
"When did the Institute take you from your world?" he asked after a moment, also keeping his voice low. "But as for your questions, yes and... maybe. The Diamond WEAPON destroyed the Shinra building and killed you, as far as everyone who played the game knew. Then several years later, a sequel movie was released and revealed that you'd survived, but was now suffering Geostigma. It's been awhile, but I think at some point you — well, you in Advent Children — mentioned that you were trying to rebuild Shinra. Whether or not that..."
Otacon let his words trail off as someone approached. "Roy, hey. I'm glad you made it through the night." Of course Colonel Roy Mustang couldn't be defeated by a few mutant cats, but with the stuff on the boards lately...
He glanced at Rufus, leaving this matter up to the discretion of the younger man.
