Are you talking about when Ultear cast Last Ages?

I find this chapter far sadder than that. In a way Ultear got exactly what she was looking for: A way to atone for her sins. And while she might not have learned about it right then, she did save several lives and maybe even the entire war. And in the end Ultear was pretty content with the cost to her body.

And Lucy? Sure she's able to save her friends, but the cost couldn't be worse for her. And while she might learn to live with the loss, she'll never be content about it (not unless the key is restored anyway). Right now she's more likely to fall into a depression than anything else once the fight is over.
