Bittersweet Ending: Ben physically consummates his relationship with Sera before dying in her arms. His last words (a stunned "Wow...") show that he found a moment of solace and comfort at the very end. The framing device implies that Sera is talking to a therapist about the events of the film so she can come to terms with everything that's happened to her.
