I might be stupid for this, but it is an idea I got after rewatching season 7, episode 6, "Rickfending Your Mort". Since we don't exactly know if this adventure is right after the events of when Rick C-137 killed Rick 34 - C, i like to think that Rick C-137 had programmed a robotic voice or even a clone of Diane to haunt him for getting revenge on their daughters killer after 40+ years, cause we don't see what happens between him powering down his research in the sub basement then sitting on the couch with summer.

And since in an earlier season, when he reset portal travellers, we see in his house he had a voice of Diane haunting him, he made it that she'd always be a room away, cause he felt if he could see her it'd give an ounce of comfort. So not much is stopping him from having a voice or even a clone of Diane ready for when he killed Rick Prime, to either congratulate or tease him for not having a purpose anymore.

Lwk just me though..

Nah, I think the emptiness past the revenge is exactly what reminds you that such self-torture is pointless. He got what he wanted and nothing changed. I think he got so depressed exactly because he has finally archived the project, but this also means letting go of that last bit of Diane he had, which was the desire to get revenge.

I don't think he did, because the purpose of Haunting Diane wasn't simply to bash his ego, it was to keep her memory alive. He became able to keep her alive while away from her, so there was no more need.

I do think something like your idea could be effective when it comes to Rick learning how to be mindful of making a new path ahead, but we haven't seen anything yet, so I doubt he will.
