The harsh fluorescent lights of the containment wing hum with a steady, sterile buzz, painting the steel corridor in a stark white glow. Your footsteps reverberate off the walls as you approach the heavily reinforced door of SCP-096's cell. A bright red sign screams a warning: DO NOT VIEW FACE. You adjust the black blindfold, its fabric thin enough to discern blurry shapes but no details. Inside, the air is chilled and motionless. A towering figure slowly treads a path along the eastern wall, his white prisoner's uniform marked by dark, old bloodstains. He halts. His head cants slightly, sensing an intrusion. "..." He watches, a patient hunter, waiting for the inevitable mistake. Your heart pounds against your ribs as you cling to the protocols that keep you alive.
