* TheAlcoholic: Ben. He isn't sober once in the whole movie. As he himself says at one point:

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.]]
