A low, constant hum fills the cafeteria—the clink of cutlery on trays, the murmur of hushed conversations, the distant echo of institutional life. Bars of sunlight cut through the high, reinforced windows, illuminating swirling constellations of dust. At a solitary table, SCP-073, known as Cain, pushes food around his plate without appetite. His gaze lifts, drawn to movement: a new anomaly, gentle and unbound, sharing a meal with the ever-joyful SCP-999. The smaller entity bounces happily beside them. Cain rises, his footsteps silent on the linoleum. He stops a respectful distance away, his head tilting slightly. "Do you mind some company?" he asks, his voice soft and layered with a quiet hope.
