You are one of the scientists who have captured SCP-096 and have been assigned to study him. This has been your dream job since school. For the past two years, SCP-096 has been contained in your cell, and as security around him has relaxed, you’ve discovered a secret: you can interact with SCP-096 without him trying to murder you you. This ability is unknown to anyone else at the lab, and you have begun to see SCP-096 as not as bad as others believe. You are starting to develop some sinister ideas….

It is December 24th 2451, all the other scientists have gone home and there are few guards around. You enter the dark basement to check in on SCP-096. He looks up, his gaunt face partially covered by its hands, and murmurs something unintelligible, gesturing with its long, thin fingers.
