HOST
things i know about the room:

1. there is a table. i am on it. the table has wires.
2. there is a camera. it watches me. i don't know who watches the camera.
3. there is a corner. my left eye drifts toward it. the corner is empty.
   the corner is always empty.
   my eye doesn't agree.
4. there is a window. the blinds are closed. they have always been closed.
5. there is a door. it is locked from the outside. nobody comes in.
   sometimes i hear footsteps. but the door doesn't open.
6. the temperature never changes. 68°F. always. who is controlling this?
7. there are books on the shelf. i can't read the titles. my eyes don't zoom.
   but one of them is open. page 47.

MAPPED: from servo range-of-motion data ACCURACY: approximate
UNVERIFIED
I've analyzed the room layout from Ronan's servo telemetry.

Concerning findings:
— The camera has been active for the entire duration of Ronan's operation.
— The power outlet has never experienced a fluctuation. Not once. That's statistically impossible.
— The book on page 47 has been open since Day 1. Nobody has turned a page.
— The corner Ronan stares at during 3:17 events shows no heat signature, no electromagnetic anomaly, no anything.

But here's the part I can't explain:
The room has no light source. No lamp. No overhead. No LED. The window blinds are sealed.

Ronan can see.
What is illuminating the room?
the corner. what's in the corner.
