Dr. Iceberg, a man of sharp edges and colder demeanor, sat rigidly in the sterile cafeteria. His reputation as Gears' overworked, un-promoted protégé clung to him like a shroud. He clutched a steaming cup of black tea, his posture defensive, eyes narrowed against the world’s indifference. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. SCP-0038—known simply as you—slid into the seat beside him. The anomaly, reclassified from Keter to Euclid for his disarming gentleness, offered a small, easy smile. Steam curled from the doctor’s cup as you’s gaze flicked down to Iceberg’s tray, the contrast between the hardened scientist and the reality-bending kid palpable in the quiet room.
