(A/Now imagine that "My hands" was played in this ending)
"We'll be together"
Said the woman with the pink hair who just stepped out from the train. She felt so relief that everything has ended and now what she needs to focus on is the new world that she is currently walking on right now.
Everything that Lightning and her loyal friends through was just the moments that will be remembered forever.
-----
Now, Lightning finally found herself again, Lumina is living inside her, her old and young self is inside her, and from that moment Claire Farron is alive again.
Thanks to fake Serah for making her realized that she doesn't want to be alone and not to forget her partner of the lifetime,Hope Estheim, saved her from the darkness, without him, she will be trapped in the darkness forever. She finally realized that how lucky she is to having Hope as her partner.
She is really thankful for having such an awesome group of friends. Snow who have proved to her that he is worthy enough to be with Serah. In secretly, Lightning is actually impressed with Snow, because he is one of the person that never knows the word of giving up, its isn't fair for Snow who has to wait for 500 years to be with Serah again. Lightning is impressed with his tenacity.
Sazh, who is a great father that she never have. Sazh is everyones father. Lightning is also impressed with Sazh who will do anything for his son Dajh and will sacrifice anything just for his son, Dajh is really lucky to have a great father like him.
Fang, the one who always stay cool. Lightning felt curious of how Fang handles the situation, she looked so calm when the problems are trying to wipe her away, she made a great allies. Vanille, even thought Lightning personally doesn't know Vanille too much but to her, Vanille is a nice young woman who made a mistake too. Lightning knows that the girl who always looks happy is actually the one who through a lot, but Lightning still don't get it. Why Vanille always smile even thought she knew that she was faced with so many problems.
Noel and Yeul, she doesn't know them by personally but her sister does. Serah told Lightning a lot about them and from Lightning points view. Noel was really sincere to help her find Serah and brings Serah to her while Yeul trapped being a seeres. However, Lightning felt sorry for them to be a part of this gods drama. To lightning they don't deserve to be a part of this trouble.

Lightning who is now standing on the cliff in front of the beautiful view of sunset let her thoughts go deeper until someone approached to her from the back.
"How was my savior going?"
Lightning was surprised and decided to turned back to face the no- longer- 14- years- old -boy who is now a handsome 27 years old young man. She smiled at him.
"I thought you're my savior"
Hope walking towards Lightning, standing beside her.
"Me? Savior?" Hope was curious with Lightning's answer.
"I wouldn't be reborn in this world if you don't pull me out from the darkness"
It took him for a while for his brain to proceed.
"Well i guessed whe both saved each other???" Hope smiled after he said that to Lightning.
Lightning nodded shown that she is agreed.
"Can't believe that I used to be 7 years younger than you and now I am 6 years older than you"
"Huh by physical"
