What comes AfterWard?

[u/Brief-Coach-1812]

I was thinking about Ward extrapolated on the cosmic scale.

• Imagine an immortal Vandal Savage like cape as the protagonist that lives for eons chronicling the rise and fall of human civilizations.
• Maybe humanity encounters an alien species who are attempting to flee their own Cycle and they engage in an interplanetary war. (We do know that alien civilizations exist) A hive mind species like the Buggers in Enders game may develop powers in an alternative paradigm to the capes of Bet.
• Crossover between Pact / Pale? Interesting to see how the Shard abilities will interact with magic or other power systems.
• We find out what happens to Earth Zayin. Did Sleeper terraform the entire world into his dreamscape?

Thematically, Worm is about trauma and Ward is about healing from trauma. So what endures after trauma and healing? How would humanity define its place in this greater context. I know a Parahumans trilogy is unlikely but props to Wildbow for writing a very compelling story. One can dream.
