Himmel

Ten years later.

Now the country has a new name. It's Himmel. You don't have to ask why and how! The most important is that they become more perfect than ever before. Eros becomes the new president. What about Mr. Stevenson? I forget to tell you. He was just a coward hiding behind his wisdom. He died in the hand of his own humanoid who turned out to be a mistress to satisfy his sexual desire.

The women who were made to be pregnant in the project, they are fine. Their children were born and grew up healthy. However, many of these women were shocked. They felt a deep trauma because of their bodies were forced to be pregnant. As a result, they must go to the consultation room to restore their psychological state.

What about the demographic problem? Is that solved? You must still remember Mr. Stein's idea related to a fiction book, Brave New World, as his solution in the meeting. Now, the idea has been brought into reality with the help of the best scientists in Himmel. Eros was the first person to support Stein's idea. Embryos are bred in a large factory. The difference is that they do not experience the social class classification as in the Brave New World. Both Stein and Eros become the most influential people in Himmel. Humanoids and all kinds of robots live peacefully with humans. They are free to live as they want, no one forbids them from falling in love, to marry or not, to have children or not, to love humanoid or human, it's up to them.
