Wow, this was really good. The exploration of Shining from Luna's PoV, getting his fall into his current bitter self called out was very interesting. It can sometimes be difficult to tell if someone is out of character for story reasons or just written differently. Knowing now that he was the noble knight originally makes his actions stick out more. Though I do wonder how he survived Sombra if his dream was accurate. I also like how you wrote Luna. Very fey now that she's disconnected from Equestria.

My interpretation or idea that I feel inclined to leave up in the air within the context of the story is that that part at the end is semi accurate but instead he was holding his already dead wife and instead of being vaporized with her, he teleported and ran at the last millisecond and disappeared.
