<SCP-XXXX approaches an elderly woman, who is currently waiting for the civilian traffic light to turn green.>

SCP-XXXX: Excuse me, ma'am? Do you need help crossing the road?

Elderly Woman: Oh, no, that's quite alright, dear. I think I'll manage.

SCP-XXXX: Oh, I insist, ma'am. Please, let me help you. <SCP-XXXX removes a small glass phial filled with gray plastic shavings. He uncorks it and snorts the contents.>

Elderly Woman: Excuse me, young man, but what did you just snort?

SCP-XXXX: My childhood. <SCP-XXXX quickly stoops down and picks up the elderly woman, carrying her in his arms.>

Elderly Woman: What are you doing?! Stop!

SCP-XXXX: I'll stop once I run out of lives!

<SCP-XXXX leaps over the road, directly over live traffic and lands on its feet on the other side. Its legs snap and bend at an estimated 105 degree angle, with a fractured, bloodied fibula extending out of one of its calves. The elderly woman is motionless upon landing.>

SCP-XXXX: Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!

<Drivers begin slowing down on the side of the road and watch SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX removes another glass phial from its pocket and snorts the contents. Its legs rapidly heal and it gets up and flees the scene.>

NOTE: CCTV footage records SCP-XXXX attempting to stop a mugging in a public bus.

[BEGIN LOG]

<SCP-XXXX sits in the back, reading a book. A middle-aged man sits in the middle, as does a young man. Partway through the bus ride, the young man leaps over to the middle-aged man and subtly brandishes a knife, demanding money. The bus driver immediately stops the bus and flees the scene.>

Middle-aged man: No! Please don't hurt me! Here, you can have it! <The man reaches into his pocket.>

SCP-XXXX: Hey, you! <SCP-XXXX stands up.> D-don't you d-dare do that!

Mugger: Mind your own damn business. <Mugger points knife threateningly at SCP-XXXX.> That's your only warning.

<SCP-XXXX laughs a shaky laugh and withdraws a glass phial from his pocket. It pours shards of plastic into its palm and snorts the contents. It coughs loudly.>

<The mugger begins laughing loudly.>

Mugger: The fuck are you doin'?

<An inflatable foam sword with a gray 'blade' and a blue hilt forms in SCP-XXXX's hand.>

Mugger: What…what the fuck?

SCP-XXXX: Hell yeah.

<SCP-XXXX swings the foam sword in wide arcs, anomalously shooting light blue crescents, which disappear the moment they make contact with the mugger. Initially, the mugger flinches before he realizes that no injuries are being inflicted.>

<The mugger rushes to SCP-XXXX and punches it in the face.>

<SCP-XXXX falls over, clutching its nose and whimpering loudily. The mugger kicks it hard in the stomach and stomps its back, breaking it. He takes the middle-aged man's wallet and flees the scene.>

Middle-aged man: I…I don't…<He flees the scene as well.>

<SCP-XXXX lies on the floor, breathing heavily. Several moments later, it starts growling. It grabs its hair and pulls at it, tearing out handfuls and dropping them to the ground.>

SCP-XXXX: Useless.

<SCP-XXXX starts beating its head against the ground, drawing blood from its forehead.>

SCP-XXXX: FUCKING USELESS!

<It alternates between screaming loudly and beating its head against the ground for the next 9 minutes. Afterwards, SCP-XXXX attempts to get up from the ground and fails. Eventually, it snorts the contents of another phial, heals, then flees.>

NOTE: SCP-XXXX harasses civilian woman Linda Carey over the course of several days. Video logs have been merged with most of the footage being removed for brevity.

[BEGIN LOG]

<SCP-XXXX enters Macy's in the Mall at Wellington Green, Florida. It locates Linda Carey and approaches her. It noticeably has a glass phial clutched in its hand.>

SCP-XXXX: Hey, Linda! <It waves at her.>

<Linda looks to SCP-XXXX and glares at him momentarily before smiling.>

Linda: Hey.

SCP-XXXX: When do you get off work?

Linda: In five minutes.

SCP-XXXX: Cool! Can I walk you to your car?

Linda: <Linda looks away.> Yeah.

[FOOTAGE REMOVED FOR BREVITY]

<SCP-XXXX and Linda hold hands and walk out of the mall and to the parking lot. Partway through, SCP-XXXX leans over and kisses Linda. She draws away slightly from his touch>

<SCP-XXXX and Linda walk to her. Footage is taken via CCTV cameras outside with a high viewpoint. No audio is taken. SCP-XXXX grabs Linda by the sides of her head and pulls her into a quick kiss. She closes the door and drives away. SCP-XXXX dances.>

<The next day, SCP-XXXX visits Linda again at Wellington Mall, several minutes before closing.>

SCP-XXXX: Hey, Linda!

<Linda glares at SCP-XXXX.>

Linda: I don't know you.

<SCP-XXXX stops smiling.>

SCP-XXXX: What? But. I was just here yesterday!

<Linda shakes her head.>

Linda: Like I said, I don't know you. I think you've made a mistake.

SCP-XXXX: We've been together for over a month!

<Customers begin crowding around SCP-XXXX, watching the scene. Another woman in a Macy's uniform approaches, later identified as a manager.>

Manager: Excuse me, sir, may I help you?

SCP-XXXX: Yeah, m-my girlfriend, she's acting all weird and—

Linda: I literally don't know him, Mel. Call security. <She leaves to the backroom.>

SCP-XXXX: Linda! Wait!

<SCP-XXXX begins following. Mel pushes him away.>

Mel: This isn't how you get girls, pal. Fuck off.

<Security approaches.>

Security: What seems to be the issue?

Mel: Get this fucker out of here.

SCP-XXXX: You gotta be shitting me! Linda!

Security: Sir, please make this easy on us. Come with us. Now.

<SCP-XXXX backs away and pulls out a glass phial.>

SCP-XXXX: No, no, no…fuck…no…FUCK!

<SCP-XXXX snorts the contents of the phial. The bystanders stare in disbelief and murmur among themselves. SCP-XXXX starts coughing, with blood streaming from its nostrils. No anomalous properties manifest. Several of the bystanders laugh.>

<The security guard grabs SCP-XXXX and drags him to the back, out of the mall and into the parking lot. They leave without a word.>

<SCP-XXXX sits outside in the parking lot, next to a dumpster. It beats its own head with its hands. It stands up, withdraws a metallic object from its pocket and holds it to its wrist. It hesitates, turn around, throws the object at the wall and hunches over, presumably screaming. It beats its head against the wall, drawing large amounts of blood. It turns around and sits down at the wall, rubbing the open wound on its forehead. Eventually, it stands up and leaves, walking past numerous bystanders.>

NOTE: SCP-XXXX has a short conversation with Mia Lanes.

[BEGIN LOG]

<SCP-XXXX rings Mia's doorbell. Several moments pass before Mia opened the door.>

Mia: Chen? Why are you up this late?

SCP-XXXX: I…came to say hi.

Mia: Chen, dude, what happened to your head?

SCP-XXXX: I don't want to talk about it.

Mia: Seriously, dude, that looks really bad.

SCP-XXXX: I've been smoking weed again.

Mia: <Mia narrows her eyes.> I hate it when you do that shit, but I know it only makes you lazy and stupid. What else have you been doing?

SCP-XXXX: Well, I'm single again.

Mia: I knew you would be.

SCP-XXXX: I'm so fucking useless.

Mia: No offense, but I really don't feel like hearing this. The problem isn't with other people like you want it to be.

SCP-XXXX: Yes it is. For fuck's sake, I'm a god damn hero and nobody will ever realize this.

Mia: Yeah, I bet.

<SCP-XXXX glares at Mia and removes a ziplock bag from its pocket.>

Mia: What's that supposed to be?

SCP-XXXX: My way of showing my powers.

<SCP-XXXX snorts the contents.>

Mia: Dude, what the fuck?!

SCP-XXXX: Just you wait and—

<SCP-XXXX coughs profusely, spitting out blood and fragments of plastic.>

Mia: …You know what, Chen? I really didn't want to have to leave you behind. 'cause I liked you. But I will.

<SCP-XXXX is silent for a few moments.>

SCP-XXXX: I love you.

Mia: I loved you, too. I mean it. You were a great friend.

<Mia slams the door shut.>

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: James Moonslande

Foreword: SCP-XXXX undergoes a therapy session with James Moonslande.

<Begin Log>

James: Good mornin', Chen. How've you been? <James stands up and offers SCP-XXXX a handshake.>

SCP-XXXX: Hey, James. <SCP-XXXX shakes his hand.> I've been alright. Same old, same old. <SCP-XXXX chuckles.>

James: Oh, really? Good to hear! <James gestures for SCP-XXXX to sit down.> Been eating right? Sleeping right? How've you been handling your temper at work?

SCP-XXXX: Work? Oh, I've been…working, yeah, I've been working. Work's fine. <It holds it hands together and looks at them.>

James: Oh? <James leans forward on desk.> Where do you work?

SCP-XXXX: I work-work as a…pa— <SCP-XXXX mumbles into its hands.>

James: Sorry?

SCP-XXXX: Part-time retail worker. Been there for 2 years.

James: Do you like it there?

SCP-XXXX: …no.

James: No? Is it the pay? Is the pay good?

SCP-XXXX: No. It's actually quite awful. <SCP-XXXX laughs softly.>

James: Oh. Wel—

SCP-XXXX: My dad has cancer.

James: Oh. Oh, James. I'm-I'm sorry to hear that.

SCP-XXXX: And I lock myself in my room and play video games for hours on end instead of doing anything. He's been shitting blood for 6 months straight and I was just fucking around and not doing anything about it.

James: It's not too late to change, Chen.

SCP-XXXX: I think it is.

James: But you're still young!

SCP-XXXX: I'm 21. There are people who aren't even legal yet who are legends, and I fuck around at home playing video games.

James: The fact that you're acknowledging it shows that you're willing to change.

<SCP-XXXX leans over and puts its head in its hands.>

James: Do you need a moment?

SCP-XXXX: No. I need an explanation.

James: About?

<SCP-XXXX sits up and hands its phone to James.>

SCP-XXXX: I need you to read that and tell me how far gone I am.

James: <James reads it for a few moments.> Hm.

SCP-XXXX: Well?

James: These are signs of severe schizophrenia, yes.

SCP-XXXX: …I…I knew it.

<SCP-XXXX leans back in his chair.>

SCP-XXXX: I…knew characters like that didn't come out of their worlds to talk to me.

James: You can undergo treatment plans, Chen. We can help you. <James gives SCP-XXXX his phone back.>

SCP-XXXX: Yeah, of course. <SCP-XXXX looks away.>

James: Okay, Chen. I'm happy to see you taking steps to improving.

SCP-XXXX: Of course! I'll always love you, whether you guys are real or not.

<James looks to the wall when SCP-XXXX is staring, opens his mouth to speak, then refrains.>

SCP-XXXX: Yeah, of course. Meet me in heaven?

James: Chen.

SCP-XXXX: Thank you for your time, doc. <It nods to James before it gets up and walks out the door.>

James. Chen!

<SCP-XXXX walks out the front door and snorts more fragments. It points two fingers slightly away from its temple. A bright, glowing sphere forms at its fingertips and slowly grows in size. The flesh on its hand melts and drips, exposing quickly blackening bone. Part of the flesh on SCP-XXXX's temple melts and drips, exposing and searing its skull. It flinches and screams, sending the sphere in a random direction. It falls to its knees and covers its face with its other hand, sobbing loudly.>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX was contained afterwards.
