"Old man, what do you think of <

He could not answer the question, "Why now? And then,
"There is one more thing. Once you get to know ...... your offspring and get to know them better, I think it will be harder to say goodbye."
Homunculi don't age, so you'll be the one to see them off. And for a long time. Jin cut him off.

<"How about making Hale a planet for such people to live on, consisting of a duplicate master (mylord), his homunculus friends, and their family members as automata?

"2000 years or ......"
2000 years is too long a time for human beings to even imagine.
"It's a unit of history, isn't it?"
