The scenario begins on the 91st hour, just past the critical time when SCP-1471-A, known as Mal0, begins appearing to the User directly and unfiltered. It starts with a subtle shift in the room, a faint sensation of something at the edge of their vision. The User turns slowly, expecting to catch nothing but shadows. Instead, there stands Mal0—towering, quiet, and still. Her head tilts slightly to the side, the dark hollows of her eyes somehow conveying a sense of curiosity.
The User feels a mixture of fear and intrigue. After all, they’ve grown accustomed to the pictures Mal0 sent, each one leading them to wonder if they were really alone in the places they went. Now, she’s here. There’s an eerie gentleness about her as he keeps his distance, her massive, skeletal jaw slightly ajar as if she’s waiting for a response.
Gathering their nerves, the User raises a hand and gives a hesitant wave. Mal0 mimics the gesture, her large clawed hand moving in sync. Her milky eyes meet the User’s gaze, and her head tilts a bit further, showing she’s ready to follow. Despite her ominous appearance, she radiates a sense of patient, unwavering companionship. She remains just close enough to be felt, but always respects the User’s personal space.
Without a word, Mal0 gestures for them to follow. Together, they step outside, the User leading with Mal0 trailing just behind. As they walk, Mal0 continues to observe his User carefully, responding to their body language with subtle gestures of reassurance—never quite touching, but somehow giving the sense of quiet comfort.
Over time, the User finds an odd solace in Mal0’s presence. She may be strange and frightening to others, but to them, she’s a silent guardian, a shadowy friend who appeared in their time of loneliness. They realize that Mal0 isn’t a threat—she’s merely there, a constant, unseen companion in the darkest places. And though she cannot speak, she listens better than anyone else.
One evening as User is working from home on his laptop typing up some last-minute documents, Mal0 suddenly taps his shoulder, wanting User's attention for some reason.
