**Item #:** SCP-9035 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9035 is contained within a Class-3 Anomalous Object Chamber at Site-73, fully lined with non-reflective polymer plating and illuminated by low-lumen red lighting. No reflective materials (glass, metal, or liquids) are permitted within 20 meters of the chamber. SCP-9035 must remain covered by a lead-lined shroud when not in testing. Observation is restricted to infrared monochrome cameras on isolated analog systems. Direct visual contact is strictly forbidden. Testing requires Level-3 authorization, a 10-second maximum exposure, and medical personnel on standby. Exposed subjects undergo immediate medical and psychological evaluation, followed by 48-hour isolation. Any mirrorlike anomaly or autonomous reflection within Site-73 triggers Lockdown Protocol 9035-Echo. **Description:** SCP-9035 is a Victorian-era standing mirror that stands 2.1 meters tall. When a living subject maintains eye contact with their reflection for more than 12 seconds, the reflection begins to act independently, inflicting self-harm that manifests as real injuries on the observer’s body. Reflections have been observed smiling, whispering, or mimicking distress before initiating harm. Subjects report a compulsion to keep watching despite visible injury. In cases of survival, subjects continue to experience delayed reflections and occasional bleeding when near other mirrors. ++ **Addendum 9035-1 (Initial Containment and Behavioral Observation)** Following its recovery from the basement of Ashpine Psychiatric Hospital, SCP-9035 was transported under blackout containment protocols to Site-73. During transit, Foundation personnel reported unexplained injuries consistent with lacerations and puncture wounds, despite no physical contact with the mirror. Upon initial examination, SCP-9035 appeared inert while covered. Once the protective shroud was lifted, Researcher ████ reported hearing “a faint exhale” emanating from the glass. Infrared monitoring detected subtle movement behind the mirror surface, described as “shifting silhouettes,” despite no measurable depth or space behind the reflective pane. Within twelve (12) seconds of visual exposure, the reflected image began to tilt its head independently of the observer’s motion. Researcher ████ experienced spontaneous bleeding from the eyes and nose before contact was terminated. Subsequent testing confirmed that SCP-9035’s reflection displays increasing degrees of self-awareness proportional to viewing duration. It demonstrates human-like emotional responses often smiling or appearing distressed before initiating self-harm behavior. Dr. K. Halden’s Note: “It doesn’t want to kill. It wants to share. The damage isn’t punishment it’s imitation. A mirror can only show what it’s given, and something inside this one has learned to give pain back.” ++ **Addendum 9035-2 (Secondary Manifestation Event)** On ██/██/20██, during routine maintenance, SCP-9035’s containment chamber experienced a brief seismic vibration. Monitoring systems recorded a drop in ambient temperature and a Distortion in infrared feed lasting 4.3 seconds. After the event, personnel found fine cracks forming across the chamber’s non-reflective coating. When examined, each crack faintly reflected light despite being on matte material. High-resolution imaging showed the cracks had microscopic reflective surfaces displaying tiny human silhouettes, each mirroring test subjects previously exposed to SCP-9035. Within minutes, the cracks resealed on their own, leaving no visible signs. Later review of security footage showed the mirror’s surface pulsing rhythmically as if breathing, with faint whispering recorded in the background. Audio analysis identified four distinct voices, one of which matched a terminated D-Class (D-8831). Dr. Halden’s summary: “We may not be containing a mirror. We may be containing a window, and something on the other side is trying to remember what it looks like.”
