20 July 2023 – The glowing area that recently appeared in the middle of my room is still there, unchanged and unmoving. The glow is still a dark violet in color (I can barely see it, while Char, my girlfriend, says it is bright to her.) With Char’s help, I have used chairs and rope to mark-out its circumference.

21 July 2023 – I have made an important discovery regarding the glowing spot, which I now call SPOT , in the middle of my room: things thrown into it disappear.
