At the top, Rosetta reverts to her younger self, who confirms that she's an alien/Goddess and that every 76 years she awakened looking for the gold of Babylon, in hopes of being reunited with her God. She thanks Lupin for finally tracking down the tower, something nobody else has been able to do before, saying her goodbyes and once again saying she loves him, before leaving into the UFO.
