Gran Pulse. The "old world". A world that Lightning and her friends fought to save not once, but twice. Lightning had retained her memories of that world; the memories of her time as a pulse L'Cie, guardian of the goddess Etro and the Saviour.

But now, she was Claire Farron: Citizen and fashion designer. A very, very popular fashion designer, in fact! Shockingly so.

Life was different now. Serah resumed her job as a teacher. Snow became a motorbike Mechanic; Sazh was working as an airplane pilot again. Hope was a director of mechanical engineering, and Fang and Vanille were off exploring the world. Everyone was leading a perfectly normal life now, a life they all deserved for all their struggles.

As for Yeul and Noel? They were also travelling the world together, making up for lost time. The young couple wanted to spend their time together, seeing the beautiful world that they never got to experience in their time. Lightning and the others knew how much they deserved it; the endless suffering that the two of them faced.

As for Lightning herself, she wanted to just relax and settle back down into her new comfortable life. She wanted nothing more than to adjust to her life as Claire Farron. Her "strength" was no longer needed. Serah was a fine woman now, with an unrelenting spirit. And it's not like the world needs the Saviour anymore either. She was free to be.. her. All of her, weak or strong.

She had it all again. Her family, her friends, a peaceful life.... so, what was she missing?
