Maybe he hitched a ride on another old transport ship and became a sort of counselor to the crew in tense situations about crime and weapons...

But on a more serious note, I think it's more likely he fell on his sword as several others have suggested.

I have to think he didn't have enough respect to kill himself with his sword. Through the whole movie he keeps saying this is an honorable death. I have to believe that he doesn't honor himself and that is why he does what he does. I see him as becoming a hermit on an unpopulated backwater moon for the rest of his days. But thats just my opinion

He went off to the same monastary that Book went to when he retired from being an operative..

I don't think he would have fallen on his sword. Yes, he believes it to be an honourable death, but he was essentially an assassin, and the acts he has comitted in the past are in no way honourable, therefore it is not an option open to him in his mindset.

I think he either disappeared into the shadows where he can't be found, or became a ronin (think Jayne with a good education).

I also do not think he fell on his sword. The "honorable death" argument is good. But I think he also regards falling on the sword as the honorable thing to do for someone who has failed in his duty -- and I think he has seen, on the contrary, that the Alliance has failed him.

He knew he was a monster, and now he knows he was a monster for a bad cause. He can die a monster for a bad cause -- or he can live to act against the system that made him one. I think he'd opt for the latter.

'sides, you get much better sequel/spinoff possibilities that way!

All solid idea's .Id have to side with the 'hari Kari' team for definite. The simplist solution to the mystery is the most likely

Hairy Keri ???
Isn't that the nickname for Nathan's co-star in "Waitress" ?
