Summary: Returning to Tifa and Seventh Heaven. Marlene. Barrett is best dad. Glimpse of the Reunion.

I feel especially ill-equipped to talk about the specific representation presented by Barrett, so I apologize if I stumble here. It’s just something I wondered about as I saw the Shinra employees shaking in terror as he approached.

I loved and felt Barrett’s frustration at their “we at Shinra believe in reason to resolve our disputes” thing, trying to grab the moral high ground. It reminded me a lot of the pushback I hear around the BLM protests.

How do y’all read that interaction?
