Mycen (Alm's grandfather) finally defeat Slayde who escaped with his troops. Since the knights were trying to capture Celica she is forced to leave the village. The others kids of the Ram Village are trained by Mycen to fight with a sword.

Several years later, Alm decide to left the village to join the Resistance alongside Tobin and Gray. Faye propose to go with them and Alm can accept. During the adventure they have a support conversations. In the first one, Faye say that she killed their enemies for Alm and he is worried for her.

Fanon
Falm is a controversial pairing. Faye herself is a controversial character: a part of the fandom hates her and considere that she is a bad character that only care for Alm while a other part considere that she is a nice girl traumatized by the war and became obessed with Alm because of this. Even for the person who want to ship Alm with someone else than Celica, Faye is often considered to by a bad option since her "love" for Alm is showed in the game to be bad for her. However some fans consider that this paring could have work in a game with different paired endings. This ship mains rivals are Celicalm and Clair x Alm on Alm side and Kliff x Faye, Silque x Faye on Faye side. Because of her one-sided crush on Alm, Faye is often considered to be a member of the Catria archetype (alongside Catria and Cordelia).

Most fanfictions show Faye having one-sided feeling for Alm (like in canon). It's usually shown tragically.Some others show Faye losing her feelings for Alm and usually falling in love with someone else.

Falm is popular in NSFW content.

Many memes show Faye as a crazy yandere for Alm. In those memes she is depicted as hating Celica.
