The lights were flickering.
Clef could faintly hear the alarm in the distance, signaling there was a breach. The hallways seemed so empty, now. Maybe Clef was brave- or just incredibly stupid, but something about it didn’t seem right.
For one thing, the cameras were disabled, and nobody else seemed to be looking for the anomaly. Nobody knew what got out, nor how dangerous the situation was because of it. The world, as Clef knew it, did not seem to be melting before his eyes, which was probably a good sign.
But something did seem off.
As he approached one of the main hallways, reality seemed to begin to shift. Only ever-so-slightly; a normal person probably wouldn’t even notice. Luckily, Clef was not a normal person, and he picked up on it quickly, opting to follow it down to wherever it was coming from.
He could hear something in the vents, but it didn’t seem terribly threatening. It sounded light, like fluttering wings, and he couldn’t pick up any breathing.
He was approaching an intersection of 4 doors, and that’s when he really began to see things change. The lights seemed to shift to a red hue, and his perception began warping before his very eyes. It was as if he, and the room, were flipped to the side, and for a moment Clef thought he might need to grab onto something. As it turned out though, it seemed as though there was no need for that.
He saw a figure standing in the middle of the room, still as could be. Their head was down. He guessed the person was not in a good mental state, likely dissociating and out of it completely.
Suddenly, a crash came from the side, and Clef jolted.
The anomaly finally began to flood out of the vents, towards the unaware person, and for a moment, Clef was about to run and save whoever it was going towards, until-
He saw small, shimmering wings.
SCP-408. Object class: Safe.
For a moment, Clef was still. He slowly felt his breathing even out, and for a moment, he felt better. They must have caused the breach. He could just turn around now and report it, and this whole thing could be over…
But then his eyes refocused to the person, who 408 was now swirling around. 408 wasn’t a reality bender.
Watching their movements around the person, who was now beginning to shake, it suddenly dawned on him, and he knew just who he was looking at.
