   Summary

   Because who will cut Ilyushka fruit if I'm gone? Irina thinks, staring down at her son’s hands, sticky with strawberry juice. Who will kiss his cheeks until he shrieks with laughter? Who will dry his brow when he’s feverish and who will take care of his loving heart?

   ---

   Two mother across time, a bowl of strawberries slices, a plate of persimmon halves and the son who connects it all.
