As the years passed by, I found myself adjusting to the immortality of this new world. The people around me, including the indigenous beings, had also experienced a prolonged lifespan due to the unique characteristics of the planet. However, I couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for my wife, who had passed away several hundred years ago. Though the time we spent together was precious, I had come to terms with her departure and found solace in the memories we had shared.
My children had grown into independent adults and had ventured out to explore the vast universe. They had inherited my values of respect, understanding, and inclusivity, and had embarked on their own journeys to make a positive impact in the world. As a parent, I was proud of their accomplishments and supported their endeavors, but I also felt a sense of emptiness as I pondered my own purpose in this new phase of my life.
