Yeah, whole different planet: that's pretty friggin' wild, and to top off a day that's been pretty friggin' strange by virtue of the fact he ended up at the end of the friggin' universe without intending to, it's just one more thing. One more notch on the belt, if someone wants to keep track.

"What doesn't Shin-Ra do." It's a long, ugly, complicated story. "They used to pretty much run the world. Then kinda sorta fucked it all up. Now we're tryin' to rebuild it. But me, I just do whatever they need me to do. For the boss, right? The guy in charge of the whole thing. It's my group's responsibility to take care of him. I've been with the Turks a long time." It's kind of a half-assed explanation and he knows it, but too bad: if Axel's interested, he can ask more questions. "The company's full name is the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company. We provide... power. Light up the world, and do a few other things on the side, or at least used to."

His near-twin's work on that whole beach of glass is still admirable-looking. He must've been on friggin' fire. Maybe they could harness his energy instead of Mako and light up their world that way.

Probably not.

No, definitely not. Scratch that; he's never been the idea guy.
