Personal opinion, she is alive in the way that someone in Coma is still alive. She is [hopefully] slowly waking up.
I would love to see two options.
1 - Alodin shares part of his undamaged spiritweb to repair what she has had ripped out. This gap and sacrifice allows them to bond properly.
2 - [Preferred] Not even sure if possible, but I would like to see the above repair, BUT they don't bond as traditional, instead keeping the GEM bond, remaining summon-able as a blade but not becoming radiant, as its not something she would want to go through again.
Just a strong friendship/camaraderie
