He goes it alone in this world
for the most part
with only some AI contact
none with any people
even his shopping is usually
self service people free
in rare lonely moments
he misses having a woman
in his daily waning life
but he’ll never try to pursue
a woman again
who probably wouldn’t value him
or would be too shallow
or cause discord in his life
so he goes it alone in this world
on his journey to impending death
and maybe in the afterlife
reborn and renewed
he’ll become a people person again
