Vildred laughs and tells Ras that it's still a tasty drink. Ras gives Vildred a look of disbelief. Memories of Ras' experiences with Vildred (i.e. camping, fighting an enemy) reflect in the coffee cup. Vildred says that if Ras tries to parse the flavor, he'll find that the flavor can also be sweet and sour--
--but the flavor can also be bitter (overlayed atop of the scene wherein Ras and Vildred fight in the 7th world). Vildred says that despite the bitterness, the drink still becomes an experience to cherish and savor. Ras, not understanding at this point in time, quips that he feels that Vildred simply likes the bitterness of the drink. Vildred reveals that his coffee is actually loaded with sugar; hence, avoiding the bitter tastes. Ras is infuriated by this response--
Vildred pats Ras' head, stating that the somber/worried look he had earlier is gone. Vildred reassures Ras by saying that as tomorrow arrives (and they head into the fray to fight the archdemon), he and the other heirs will be there by his side and that he won't be alone.
Vildred tells Ras that they'll save the world together. The sun rises on a new day. The scene shifts back to the present. Time has passed, and Ras watches the sunrise alone.
At the end of the world, a cup of coffee (7/9)
