Author's note: I wrote a concluding chapter for this novel, but at the last moment decided not to publish it. As I looked through the sections of Chapter 31, I realized that the ending as it is currently written would appear rushed and I would be giving up the chance to develop additional events, most notably a sub-plot involving Jenny and Lance. At this point I expect to write about five additional chapters before concluding the novel. I made the decision to extend the story just a few days ago, after the majority of it was already posted, so I had to leave the novel hanging at the end of Chapter 30.
Nevertheless, my recent playthrough of Final Fantasy VII's Midgar portion complete with watchthrough of the Remake made me think of how much you wrote your antagonist to be like Shinra's namesake president, so much so that I was expecting Sephiroth to impale him from above and immediately raise his masamune in defense against Cloud charging in from the door.
