Before reaching the Deliverance base, Alm learn that it has fallen in the hand of the enemies and that Clair has been captured. Alm and his allies conquered the castle and free Clair. When Alm enter the dungeon where Clair was imprisoned she say that he had to offer her his hand. Alm is troubled and apologies. After this Clair thanks Alm.

In their last support Clair say that like when they laugh together and that she feel wonderful when they are together. Alm answers that he is blushing.

After the war Alm marry Celica and they became the rulers of the united Valentia. Clair became a knight and marry Gray.

Fanon
This ship is less popular than Celicalm and Gray x Clair due to the fact that those both ship are canon. However a small part of the fandom consider that Alm don't have many chemistry with Celica and make a better couple with Clair. In general Clairalm is considered to be a better alternative to Celicalm than Falm since Faye obsessives behavior for Alm is often seen as unhealthy, however since Faye's feeling for Alm are more obvious than Clair's, Falm is more popular. Clairalm is also shipped by the person who prefer Celica with someone else. The fanfitions of this pairing usually take place in an alternate universe where Alm marry Clair instead of Celica. Almost all fanarts are based on the remake since it's more popular than the original.
