Last despite everything! (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
after all
I believe this is a double definition.
'last' is the first definition.
(coming after everyone else)
'despite everything' is the second definition.
(phrase meaning despite everything)
(Other definitions for after all that I've seen before include "Behind from start to finish" , "Despite expectations to the contrary" , "Bringing up the rear" , "In spite of any indications to the contrary" , "Taking everything into account" .)
