In this short scene, Oswald delivers a soliloquy in which he laments the fact that the world is coming to an end. He laments that there is no one to save it now, and wonders if it was the child who saved the world in the first place. He wonders if the child was the one who stopped the world from falling into chaos. He also wonders whether the world will ever be able to recover from the catastrophe that has befallen it. In the midst of his lamentations, however, Oswald is interrupted by the sound of a trumpet, which announces that two days earlier, the same catastrophe struck the same spot as it did twenty years ago. This time, they were able to bring in 800 times the number of people as before, and they are able to do so again because of the intervention of Oswald's son, who is the leader of the thousand masters.
