Spoiler:

If the power hungry Soldats were so evil and scheming, why didn't they just use their power to drop a bomb on Altena at the manor and be done? They have a sense of tradition and respect. I don't think they'd shoot the girls as they hobbled away.

I like they idea that it symbolizes the death of their trouble pasts. Kirika learns who she was and grows into a new person. Mirielle learn the truth of her past and also grows beyond it.
