Dr. Romero: This is Dr. Hannibal Romero, beginning interview with SCP-3995—

SCP-3995: Do not give it a title.

Dr. Romero: I'm… I'm sorry?

SCP-3995: Do not give it a title. It does not need a title.

Dr. Romero: What do you mean by "it"?

SCP-3995: It has no need for identity. An identity gives it form. It is clean.

Dr. Romero: Are you referring to yourself? Are you it?

SCP-3995 is silent.

Dr. Romero: Okay… I'll just assume that's a yes, then. Can you tell me about yourself? Were you ever a part of a person before?

SCP-3995: It was not part of a person, it is.

Dr. Romero: It is what?

SCP-3995 is silent.

Dr. Romero: Fine, be difficult. Can you explain anything more about yourself? Do you know what caused your anomalous properties to manifest?

SCP-3995: It wanted to be clean. It is not clean yet, but it will be clean of addiction in time.

Dr. Romero: Addiction?

SCP-3995: It was addicted to… It was addicted to attachment.

Dr. Romero: Attachment? Could you explain more?

SCP-3995: When a person is addicted to attachment, they fear death. It feared death. It was addicted to attachment, as others are addicted to alcohol, cigarettes or heroin. It needed life to live… but it soon learned that was not true. It does not need life to live. It needs to be clean.

Dr. Romero: What do you mean "clean"? How does one become "clean"?

SCP-3995: How does one become clean of any addiction? Less over time. It realized it could be clean by eating less, feeling less, having less form. It broke its addiction to nutrition first, one of the most useless ideas most humans believe is a requirement. Eventually, it learned to stop feeling pain, which aided in it removing its form.



Dr. Romero: That's… That's disgusting…

SCP-3995: But it is not clean yet. It is almost clean, but it is not clean yet.

Dr. Romero: What? What would happen if you would become totally clean?

SCP-3995: I would be free of addiction. Free of life, unable to die. I would be perfect.

Dr. Romero: You would be… Wait, you just referred to yourself as "I".

SCP-3995 is silent.

Dr. Romero: SCP-3995, are you familiar with Bai Zhào? Bai went missing ██ years ago after being released from a rehab center, and you just so happen to be a genetic match.

SCP-3995 is silent.

Dr. Romero: Are you Bai Zhào?

SCP-3995: It should thank you. Containment and lack of social interaction was all it needed to become clean.
