文字記錄
A two-panel comic page showing a phone conversation. The top panel features an elderly woman in a cozy, dimly lit room speaking on a rotary phone. The bottom panel shows a younger woman in a greenhouse hallway speaking on a wall-mounted phone while a man stands behind her; a pair of translucent, ghostly hands are visible watering a potted plant in the background. Visible dialogue, in reading order: Ida: After my first winter alone. Ida: She died before I collected it. Fern: She has kept watering it. Ida: Tell her I learned to grow again.
