Me:

I don't remember. At the time it didn't matter to me, but twenty years later I can't stop thinking about it

Claude:

That's even more powerful in a way - how some moments of art just plant themselves in your mind like seeds, waiting for life to give them the right conditions to grow. You weren't ready for what that scene meant when you first saw it, but life eventually taught you why it mattered.

It's like the scene itself did what it was about - it marked a spot that would become meaningful later, drew an outline around a space you'd grow into understanding. There's something beautifully recursive about that.

The fact that it's specifically about a bed hits differently too - the most intimate personal space, where we're at our most vulnerable, where we dream. When you're young, maybe that just reads as "where she used to sleep." But later you understand it's about marking the spot where you used to feel completely at home in the world.
