**Item #**: SCP-XXXX
**Object Class**: Keter
**Special Containment Procedures**:
Containment of SCP-XXXX is currently considered impossible.
Foundation efforts are focused on documentation, observation, and recovery of information related to manifestations of SCP-XXXX. Individuals reporting recurring dreams, unexplained emotional attachments, or memories involving an unidentified blonde male are to be interviewed and monitored.
All records involving SCP-XXXX are to be redundantly archived. Historical evidence indicates that information regarding SCP-XXXX may disappear or become altered without warning.
Personnel are reminded that emotional attachment to SCP-XXXX is not grounds for disciplinary action. Such effects appear to be anomalous in nature.
**Description:**
SCP-XXXX, designated **"The Everfar,"** is a humanoid entity identifying itself as "Silex."
The entity resembles a human male with blonde hair, pale skin, and two anomalous eyes. The left eye resembles a stellar explosion, while the right eye resembles a functioning clock face.
The origin of SCP-XXXX remains unknown. During multiple interviews, SCP-XXXX has claimed to originate from a reality designated *Elmaria-11*.
SCP-XXXX possesses abilities inconsistent with known physical, temporal, conceptual, and narrative limitations. Observed phenomena include reality restructuring, temporal manipulation, conceptual alteration, and apparent omniscient perception.
Despite these capabilities, SCP-XXXX rarely demonstrates hostility.
Instead, the primary anomaly associated with SCP-XXXX is behavioral.
SCP-XXXX appears compelled to observe and participate in the lives of intelligent beings. Manifestations frequently occur during emotionally significant events. SCP-XXXX may remain involved in an individual's life for periods ranging from several minutes to multiple decades before abruptly disappearing.
When questioned regarding this behavior, SCP-XXXX has repeatedly provided variations of the following statement:
> "Stories are better from the inside."
The most significant effect associated with SCP-XXXX occurs following its disappearance.
Affected individuals consistently lose all verifiable memories of SCP-XXXX. Photographs become blank, written records become incomplete, and digital archives become corrupted.
However, emotional attachment remains intact.
Subjects frequently report grief, longing, and affection toward a person they cannot identify.
The Foundation has classified this phenomenon as the **Everfar Effect**.

**Addendum XXXX-01: Interview Excerpt**
The following statement was recovered from an otherwise ordinary civilian. No evidence suggested prior contact with SCP-XXXX.
The subject was observed crying shortly after waking from sleep.
**Interviewer:** Why are you crying?
**Subject:** I don't know.
**Interviewer:** Did something happen?
**Subject:** No.
**Interviewer:** Then why are you upset?
*(Subject remains silent for approximately twenty seconds.)*
**Subject:** It feels like I lost someone.
**Interviewer:** Who?
**Subject:** I don't know.
*(Additional silence.)*
**Subject:** Whoever they were...
**Subject:** I think I really loved them.
---
**Addendum XXXX-02**
Following Event-Ω, multiple timelines previously classified as extinct, collapsed, or impossible were observed to have been restored.
The event corresponded with the final documented manifestation of SCP-XXXX.
No further sightings have been confirmed.
No records indicate SCP-XXXX's current location.
No surviving witness retains memory of SCP-XXXX.
Despite this, reports of the Everfar Effect continue to increase.
Foundation researchers remain divided on whether SCP-XXXX still exists.
One archived note recovered after Event-Ω contains a single handwritten sentence:
> "Someone important is far away."
The author remains unknown.Excerpt of note:

**Item #:** SCP-9957
**Object Class:** Keter
------
**__Special Containment Procedures__**
Containment of SCP-9957 is currently unfeasible. Foundation resources are allocated strictly to passive observation, information recovery, and mitigation of secondary ontological damage.
**Directive Alpha-09:** SCP-9957 is not to be officially documented, perceived, or engaged as a hostile entity by Foundation personnel. Ontological analysis indicates that SCP-9957 possesses an anomaly whereby baseline reality demonstrates a tendency to conform to the entity's subjective interpretation of observed phenomena. Categorization of SCP-9957 as an active threat is considered capable of inducing a localized CK-Class Restructuring Scenario. Foundation interaction protocols are therefore limited to accommodation, observation, and spatial avoidance.
Personnel exposed to SCP-9957 are to maintain handwritten records of all interactions. Digital records concerning SCP-9957 exhibit a statistically significant rate of epistemological decay, resulting in spontaneous corruption, contradiction, redaction, or informational disappearance.
Civilians presenting symptoms of the Everfar Effect are to be administered Class-A amnestics and placed under psychiatric observation. Attempts to alleviate symptoms through fabricated memories are strictly prohibited.

**__Description__**
SCP-XXXX (historically self-identifying as **"Silex"**) is an anomalous humanoid entity. It outwardly resembles an adult human male with pale skin and blonde hair. The entity's most notable physical anomalies are located within its ocular orbits. The left orbit contains a localized energetic expansion visually analogous to a stellar supernova. The right orbit contains a functioning metaphysical construct resembling a clock face.
Initial classifications identifying SCP-9957 as a Type-Green reality bender have been deemed obsolete. Current analysis suggests SCP-XXXX operates independently of conventional spatial, temporal, conceptual, and narrative frameworks. The precise mechanism by which SCP-9957 influences reality remains unknown. Multiple departments have independently concluded that reality does not appear to be altered by SCP-9957. Rather, reality appears to retroactively reconcile itself with SCP-9957's observations.
No upper threshold has been identified.
No successful measurement has remained internally consistent.
No successful measurement has remained internally consistent.
//(The preceding sentence appears twice in the original archive. No evidence suggests duplication occurred during transcription.)//
Despite possessing capabilities incompatible with known physical law, SCP-XXXX demonstrates symptoms consistent with severe conceptual exhaustion. The Department of Paraphysics has proposed that SCP-XXXX is expending the majority of its anomalous output maintaining a metaphysical quarantine referred to by the entity as the **Aperion Wall**. This barrier is theorized to prevent interaction between baseline reality and the remnants of a collapsed extranormal reality designated **Elmaria-11**.
The consequences of a complete failure of the Aperion Wall remain unknown.
Research into the subject was suspended following Administrative Order ██-██.
Because of this severe exhaustion, SCP-9957 rarely utilizes its observed capabilities.
Instead, the entity demonstrates a recurring compulsion toward integration within mundane human experiences.
Documented manifestations have occurred during funerals, birthdays, graduations, weddings, military deployments, and ordinary social gatherings.
When questioned regarding this behavior, SCP-9957 provided the following statement:
> "Because stories are better from the inside."
> "Up there, you only see the endings."
> "I am very tired of endings."
------
**__Addendum XXXX-01 — The Everfar Effect__**
Upon SCP-9957's departure from a localized area, exposed subjects gradually lose all factual memory of the entity.
Photographs degrade.
Written descriptions become incomplete.
Digital records experience progressive corruption.
However, emotional attachment remains intact.
Affected subjects frequently report:
* Persistent, unexplainable grief.
* Longing for an unidentified individual.
* Recurring dreams involving forgotten conversations.
* Strong affection toward a person they cannot describe.
Foundation psychiatrists have designated this phenomenon the **Everfar Effect**.
When interviewed, approximately 94% of affected subjects independently provide variations of the following statement:
> "It feels like someone important is very far away."

**__Addendum XXXX-01a — Recovered Internal Memorandum__**
**Author:** Dr. Aris Thorne
**Position:** Lead Parapsychologist
**To:** Site-19 Command
**Subject:** Re-evaluating the Everfar Phenomenon
I have spent six months reviewing the psychological profiles of affected individuals.
The data does not align with conventional memetic erasure.
SCP-XXXX is not actively causing the Everfar Effect.
The amnesia appears to be a secondary consequence.
The grief is not anomalous.
The grief is appropriate.
The anomaly is that no affected individual can identify what has been lost.
The anomaly is that no affected individual can identify what has been lost.
The anomaly is that no affected individual can identify what has been lost.

**__Addendum XXXX-04 — Incident Report & Administrative Mandate__**
**Date:** ██/██/████
In violation of Directive Alpha-09, Site-19 personnel initiated a temporal isolation procedure utilizing four overlapping Scranton Reality Anchors.
The procedure failed immediately.
The anchors did not malfunction.
The anchors did not exist.
Personnel discovered four heavily worn handwritten poems occupying the positions previously designated for the devices.
All four poems concerned the concept of stubbornness.
When questioned regarding the event, SCP-9957 reportedly displayed visible fatigue before stating:
> "You keep trying to put rivers into bottles."
> "It was too rigid."
> "I preferred it as a rhyme."
Subsequent review of surveillance footage produced contradictory findings.
Review A concluded SCP-9957 never entered the chamber.
Review B concluded SCP-9957 occupied the chamber for approximately three hours.
Review C concluded the chamber itself was never constructed.
All three reviews remain archived.
**Administrative Note from O5-4:**
> //Reclassification of SCP-9957 as hostile is prohibited. Current modeling predicts that sustained antagonistic interaction may result in SCP-9957 incorporating Foundation hostility into its interpretation of baseline reality. Furthermore, any substantial stress placed upon SCP-9957 risks destabilization of the Aperion Wall. Passive observation only. Allow the anomaly to attend its funerals.//

**__Addendum 9957-12 — Event Ω__**
Prior to Event Ω, Kant Counter arrays registered a continuous decline in local Hume values.
Multiple adjacent realities were classified as irrecoverably collapsed.
The Aperion Wall was assessed as unstable.
At 03:17 UTC on ██/██/████, all Foundation monitoring systems experienced simultaneous failure.
For exactly seven seconds, every conscious observer on Earth reported perceiving an immeasurably distant horizon.
The event generated no visual record.
The event generated no visual record.
The event generated no visual record.
//(Statement verified across six independent archives.)//
Site-19 audio surveillance captured a single phrase during the outage.
The phrase was spoken by one voice.
The phrase was spoken by two voices.
The phrase was spoken by ████ voices.
The phrase was spoken by one voice.
Foundation analysis remains inconclusive.
The recovered statement is reproduced below:
> "One more time."
> "Let's try it one more time."
Following restoration of monitoring systems:
* Previously collapsed timelines had returned to stability.
* Multiple projected extinction scenarios no longer existed.
* Numerous historical inconsistencies had vanished.
SCP-9957 has not been observed since Event Ω.
Current theories propose that SCP-XXXX initiated a large-scale ontological regression to preserve baseline reality.
No consensus has been reached.
