In 'Longer', Gunjita and Cav, R&D scientists for the prestigious Gleem Galactic, find themselves in orbit, living in a world where they can rejuvenate their bodies, effectively reversing the aging process—twice. Yet, this luxurious ability comes with an existential price: once Gunjita has undergone her rejuvenation for the second time, her relationship with Cav, who has yet to experience this life-altering procedure, faces unprecedented strains.
