   Summary

   Sunshine gently turns Ilyushenka's head, and it feels like the world grows still the second her son's eyes meet hers. They are still the same blue he shares with his father's side of the family. Irina watches recognition break across his handsome face, his mouth falling open. His fingers tear free of Sunshine's as a strangled sound leaves him.

   "Mama?"

   or: right before you die, you are granted a vision of the legacy you have left behind. For 24 hours, Irina gets to watch her youngest son live a life she thought impossible.
