What do you feel would improve your life or make it worth sticking around longer, if I might ask? Can be anything, you get to decide on it...
Example: I got a cat cuz I knew I needed someone who depended on me who wanted to stay and logistically I didn't have to worry about once I had ensured their needs were met (food/water, hygiene, play etc) and kept my mind a little busy in a side-quest kinda way :)
