Grass always appears greener on the other side. He made the right choice, but will forever try to figure out if there was a wish that could have gotten him true love and a spaceship

True love is being willing to give almost anything for the other person. It is also being unwilling to accept that, because you would also be willing to do the same.

Somewhere in the middle you find what is best for both of you.

He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a "light freighter" style of ship.

Then you're guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.

I can only think of two where that's happened and the second was because the actor needed to be fired because he turned out to be an awful person.

Ooh, good wish ... only don't make it a show, make it a life, because people on shows are only acting and the spaceships aren't real
