    Summary

    She pulls her shirt out from her jeans for only a moment, but Miika knows what she has freshly tattooed on her back, too. The simplest line of lyrics.

    For you are not beside, but within me.

    Miika spent a lot of time wondering who Kaia would grow up to be. Maybe a painter, or she would play field hockey professionally. Maybe she would study art history in college, if she decided to go. Kaia still has the chance to be all of those things, but they will be ten times harder. There is another barrier that was not there before. Grief.

    Or, Kaia grows up. All of the kids grow up. And they lose part of themselves, and their father, in the process.

    Or, or, this is the end.
