I designed their other partners as dolls, of which light and hope are my favorites!

— You lost! Show it! — Gladio shouted right next to [Reader's] ear.

— You cheated — she gasped, clutching the wooden sword.

— All's fair in love and war!

— We're not at war, we're just doing training exercises — the little girl replied.

She wasn't happy with the sparring result but she kept her promise. She rolled up her sleeve, revealing the tattoo on her forearm. The black line formed an ornately written "Farewell"

— I was hoping for something better.

— Do not get smart up. You don't have the skill yourself yet.

— It won't be easy to find a soulmate with something like that. I hope my skill will be better.

The girl didn't want to admit it but she was thinking exactly the same thing. Many people were given simpler instructions. She has always dreamed of a timer or a red thread. They didn't require much attention. Meanwhile, she was given a word that anyone could have said to her.

— Maybe I'll hear my soulmate say goodbye to someone? Or will this be a slogan describing our entire relationship? You know... we'll be such a nice couple that we won't want to be apart?

***

[Reader] stared at the three friends who had come to the training ground. She was glad Noctis wasn't with them.

She thought no one would come here in the middle of the night. She had been able to avoid meetings over the past few days but it seemed like that wasn't the case this time.

— I don't want to talk to you.

She swung her sword, practicing the sequence.

— Listen, you can just sit here for me but he doesn't want to go anywhere without you...

Gladiolus didn't finish his sentence because Prompto kicked him in the ankle with all his might.

— How can you say such things to a girl? — Prompto was outraged. — Sorry, I have to send a text message quickly. — He took out his phone.

Ignis looked at the other two and sighed. He adjusted his glasses. He felt the need to do this whenever he got irritated.

— Why are you avoiding the prince?

— Damn it! We all know why. We are not making idiots of ourselves.

King's Shield was tired. He wanted to put the whole trip behind him. Altissia was far from Insomnia. They had a long journey ahead of them and he felt like he was babysitting Noctis instead of preparing for it.

The prince insisted that he wanted to see [Reader] at his wedding to Lunafreya. He proposed it to her and she awkwardly excused herself and they haven't seen each other since.

— Wait... so we know why she's avoiding him? — Prompto frowned in concentration.

It took him a few seconds to understand what Gladiolus was talking about.

— Aaah... That's what you mean... — He tapped his forehead lightly.

— Let's end this circus. You're coming with us. Even the king said it was a great idea.

— He didn't give me an order.

[Reader] knew she was arguing like a little child but she had a hard time hiding her reluctance.

— Stop being so selfish! — Gladio knocked the training sword out of her hand.

He did it easily. He surpassed her in terms of physical strength. Not to mention his skills were next level.

He froze the moment he saw her face. The moonlight helped him see tears in the corners of his eyes. She turned her head to wipe them gently.

He felt guilty.

They had been friends since childhood.

— Damn it! — He pinched the bridge of his nose. — I'm sorry, okay? I'm just... fed up with it.

Ignis didn't say anything. He looked at him reprimandingly and Gladio realized that he was in for a good sermon. Ignis took an embroidered handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the girl. She accepted it gratefully.

— It's not your fault... none of you... Let's be honest, neither is it Noctis's fault. But so what? Should I be a bridesmaid at a wedding I don't want to see? Watch someone I've been in love with for so many years get married? Congratulate my rival with whom I never stood a chance? I want Noctis to be happy but... that doesn't mean I have to watch it all.

The girl felt all the emotions she had been carrying since the announcement of the engagement slipping away. Grief gripped her heart and the words stuck in her throat. Her fingers tightened around Ignis's handkerchief. There was a deafening silence, broken only by the night chirping of crickets.

The friends looked towards the entrance. She followed their gaze.

He stood there.

— We'll leave you two alone — Prompto suggested.

He hoped [Reader] wouldn't find out that he was the one who notified Noctis via text message. Otherwise he would be in big trouble.

— I think we need to talk — said the prince.

— You didn't overhear everything? — she asked bitterly.

Blue eyes stared at her intensely.

— I want you to tell me about it properly now.

— NO. — She sat down on the stone wall. — Do you know why? Because it doesn't make sense. I won't change anything.

— You know...

— I know! You are responsible for Lucis... And you will be king one day... And you love Lunafreya... And we need this marriage...

Noctis looked at the brightly shining moon above his head.

It was as if in its light he could no longer hide anything.

He felt he had failed as a friend.

He knew for a long time. He just never wanted to let that thought come to the fore. It was easier to push it to the bottom of his mind and tell himself it was just a delusion. He was afraid to face a feeling he didn't reciprocate.

— [Reader], if you had told me earlier...

She felt a pang in her chest. He had no soulmate skill. Fate didn't decide for him. He chose Luna of his own free will.

— I wouldn't change anything. You love each other and I want you to be happy but please — she took a deep breath — don't make me go there. My heart can't bear it.

In her imagination she saw a beautiful bride. Blond curls were tied up in a high bun and the white dress rustled with every step. The Oracle held a bouquet of her favorite blue flowers as she looked for her fiancé.

Her fingers gripped the stone tightly.

He could give an order if he wanted.

— Then stay... but promise me our friendship won't end like this.

The prince felt that the thread that had connected them for a long time was breaking. He wanted desperately to save it, even though he felt it was over. All the years they spent together were gone.

— I promise that I will come after the wedding, together with your father, when I get myself together a bit. — She headed towards the exit.

— Farewell — he said with a slight smile.

She glanced briefly at the tattoo that had been with her for many years.

She didn't answer him.

***

— What is it about? — Noctis asked.

Ignis entered the room with a newspaper in his hand.

— Read it.

The Fall of Insomnia , said the headline. Gladiolus read it aloud, feeling growing anxiety.

— Is this some joke?

The prince wanted to tear out the newspaper and make sure he had heard correctly.

— There was an attack. The Imperial army has occupied the capital — Gladio continued. — The Treaty Room flashed brightly. Explosions were also heard. When the smoke cleared, the king was found... dead. — Gladio looked up.

— No... But... Wedding... Altissia...

— I know. That was the plan but... all the headlines in town can't be wrong.

Ignis looked at Noctis with regret. There was no way there could be a mistake.

The boy felt his heart beating fast and a cold sweat break out on him.

— Liars! — he shouted. — We have to check that.

— Shall we turn back? — Prompto assured.

— Yes.

***

— Betrayal! Protect His Majesty!

[Reader] managed to kill three opponents before she fell to the ground. Lights flashed all around and a loud explosion deprived her of hearing.

She put her fingers to her chest in surprise. A red, sticky liquid flowed from the deep wound. She tried to make a sound but was interrupted by darkness.

***

— Maybe these will be the last words you hear from him? He'll see you and decide it's time to say goodbye or something — he laughed.

— Gladio, I'm going to kill you!

— I'd like to see you try — said the new, short, dark-haired boy.

He poked his head out from behind one of the pillars and curiously walked to the middle of the training ground.

— I think it's time for me to introduce you to the spoiled prince. Noctis Lucis Caelum and his titles that I don't feel like listing...

[fire-of-the-sun]

Whenever I think about Noctis and Luna's reunion in the afterlife and what it may have been like, I can't help but think about Aragorn and Arwen's reunion at the end of Return of the King. Not only due to the similarities of the scenes themselves (two lovers meeting each other again after a long time apart), but the similarities in the characters too that makes it feel so right to me as, whenever I think about interactions between older Noctis and Luna, I can't help but think about Aragorn and Arwen and the nature of their interactions - the palpable love, respect and purity that permeates their scenes together.

Luna possesses a similar demeanor of dignified grace, strength, beauty and kindness as Arwen as she too passionately serves her people and helps guide and encourage Noctis, whom she holds unwavering faith in. She also shares the desire to simply be with the man she loves even if only for a while and, if she could, choose a normal life with him.

I can also see Noctis (specifically older Noctis) as Aragorn given their shared struggles and doubts with embracing their mantle of kingship, fulfilling their destinies and, after the time skip, adopting a similar air of regality and quiet strength. (Also, the long dark hair and beard don't hurt this comparison either.)

Anyway, back to the scenario: I like to imagine that when Noctis awakens in the afterlife, he does so in a sylleblossom field just like his previous vision with Luna, only this time he's his adult self and instead of being cold and grey, it's more beautiful than he could ever dream it. He stands to find Luna there waiting for him with a smile, as beautiful and radiant as the day she passed. The last time he saw her in this place, it was a farewell but now it was a welcome, beckoning him into an eternity where they'll never be apart again.

Noctis walks up to her in silent awe as she does for him as well - perhaps a call back to their moment not long prior where they reached out to each other but were unable to touch. But this time, she's really there, now just inches away, as real as he is.

Their eyes never leave each other's, hopeful smiles and tears of happiness mingled together at the magnitude of this moment. How long have they waited for this? Slowly, carefully, Noctis extends a hand to stroke her cheek, as if to be certain she's really there, having waited to touch her for so long. It's slow, achingly tender, reverential...

Luna smiles warmly, the tears of joy in her eyes glittering like stars as they both lean in for a kiss. Finally. It's soft but passionate, full of the weight of 22 years of longing and the overwhelming bliss of sharing a moment they've only dreamed of for so long.

They break apart to embrace, taking advantage of this blessed proximity to relish every touch, unable to let go of each other now that they're finally in each other's arms. Where before they were only granted a handful of moments together, now nothing can tear them apart. Untouched by pain or sorrow, they finally get to begin an eternity of joy, peace and wedded bliss they were denied in life.

(Also, in keeping with The Lord the Rings inspiration here, I could see a version where Noctis is so overcome with euphoria he dives in for a kiss like Aragorn did, lifting Luna up and eliciting an equally passionate response from her because who wouldn't love to see that?)

And perhaps, all the while, Regis and the rest of their parents and passed loved ones watch nearby, pleased with them finally being reunited and finding happiness together at last, waiting to welcome Noctis in turn.

Of course, there's always the afterlife reunion at the end of Titanic that's fun to consider, too...

Really kinda frustrated about how Final Fantasy XV handles Noctis and Luna. They are shown to really love eachother. And on an emotional level I really feel that. But from a story perspective it makes no sense. He was 8 and she was like 12 when they met and after that they were only pen pals for 12 years and never saw eachother again until Altissia. Yet in cutscenes Luna is all "oh my god i love him so much how i wish to hear his voice once more and spend our life together" and Noctis is like really, really, really sad about her death. Absolutely devastated. Probably even more emotional about it than the death of his father who he also really loved (and actually spend time with). And emotionally I get sucked into that ship. I feel for them. I want them to reunite and hug. They deserved better. But it really annoys me too. Because there is no way they share a connection, a love that strong or deep when they only spend at most a few months together as kids and then sometimes wrote eachother things for 12 years without ever meeting or talking.

Honestly the game handles Luna poorly in general. What she does as for the people as the Oracle, getting the ring from Regis and keeping it out of Imperial hands, waking the gods, it's all pretty cool. She is strong and kind and takes her duty as Oracle very seriously. But we barely see any of it and then she gets killed. Then in flashbacks she is suddenly all "I don't wish to guide him, merely to stand beside him" And I absolutely do not think that showing weakness or hesitation about her duty is bad, but it annoys me that she is portrayed as being less than Noctis. "I do not wish to guide him" girl, that is literally your duty as ordained by the gods. A duty you take very seriously ever since you were a child. And through waking the gods and Gentiana's messages Luna did, in fact, guide Noctis. It's like the game took a character with a lot of potential to be awesome and powerful then reminded themselves they wanted her to be submissive to men and a martyr

Umbra and Pryna Theory

Guys, I have a crazy theory: It always seemed logical that Umbra was somehow related to Noctis and Pryna was somehow related to Luna - that these are their totem spirits, guardians, or something like that. But what if they are associated with the Lucis Caelum and Nox Fleuret families themselves, and not specific people? Prina died in "Episode Ignis", let's say, not only because of Luna, but because Starscourge in Ravus's prosthesis had already begun to affect him, and he was slowly degrading, ceasing to be human, so Nox Fleuret family, in fact, ceased to exist. From this the question "Why, after the death of all the Lucis Caelum, including Noctis and Ardyn, did Umbra survive?" becomes even more interesting. :)
