The spirit started to show attempts of writing words on the notebooks within the house. It's writing is illegible at the moment as if it was of a child but it seems to be the beginings of a system of time and started marking a notebook with a line. The spirit started to mark the notebook every day and started to use the word "waking" as a measure of time. It repeats this routine for a while now however it's sleeping schedule is inconsistent. Still the measure of time in the place similar to the void would be impossible to be consistent because there is no point of consistency within the dark world it lives in.

In it's 8th waking the spirit felt the house shake. It became weary and grabbed a carrot for defence. While it looks too flimsy for a weapon, the vegetables it grows are very poisonous and very corrosive. It checked outside the house and saw that more land was added to the house. There was a peculiar tree that looks like it was in the middle of being chopped, it had an axe wedged on the side where it was being chopped from, the canopy is in a state where some of the leaves are rotting in some areas and some that are healthy and some that are not on the branches and it is hovering in the air. There is also a toolbox filled with nails screws and tools that does not seem quite right.

In its curiosity, it went to them and investigated keeping on guard it checked the foreign objects that suddenly appeared infront of its front door. It first checked the tree noticing the axe, it tried to pull it making it fall. With the axe in hand, it tried to smack the tree with the axe making significant damage to the tree it repeated the motion until it fell down very close to the spirit shocking it. It understood that it needs to be careful next time with another tree if  the world gives it a try.

The chopped tree started to react after it fell, the space which the part of the tree that fell started to distort and form a replica of the part which fell down to the very cell of the tree. Now it can use its new found knowledge to avoid perishing. The spirit did not want to chop down the tree again yet so it placed its focus on the tool box.

The toolbox had several tools and parts with the same properties as the tree, partially old and partially new. Picking up a nail in the tool box, the place the nail was distorted and replaced the nail. The spirit took the hammer but instead of being replaced it did not have any weight whatsoever. The spirit looked at the nail and hammer and looked like it just remembered something. It took a handsaw it found in the toolbox and cut a small portion of the fallen tree trunk into a slab and hammered the nail into it. The nail entered the slab smoothly in one light swing. Pulling the nail out was also easy. The spirit looked at the tool box and the tree another time and new stimulants were flowing in its mind, ideas. It continued to interact with the two objects for several wakings now only to stop to consume nutrients. Creating different shapes in different sizes using wood to build. It enjoyed its time.
