Well, speaking as a 35 year old...(!) I think being this age is all about still feeling young, while starting to enjoy the perspective that comes from experience. In terms that might be significant for Gregor: perhaps the pleasure of realizing that he has stopped performing or faking being "the Emperor" and has finally become it? And in a way that hasn't, in the end, cost him himself.
