Not with scrupulous conversations with my mother, not with a broken heart, not now. The cold wall of the father for all these long years trembled once again, just once, letting into his heart not only his mother, but now Eida.

It is unlikely that an eleven-year-old child is able to adequately survive the death of such a close and dear person without consequences for the psyche and other things, although who could do this even at a much more conscious age? Certainly neither I... nor he...
