+++ Incident 8408.1
+++ Attempted Containment Breach

----

//[Dr. Melissa Sharrow is washing dishes. The setting sun is visible through the window, casting the room in half-shadow. SCP-8408 enters.]//

**SCP-8408:** Can I sit at the table?

**Dr. Sharrow:** You may.

//[SCP-8408 sits. It is able to remain still for several minutes, but then begins to fidget. It slowly starts tugging at its sheet.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** SCP-8408.

//[Dr. Sharrow shuts off the faucet but does not turn her head.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Are you trying to take off your sheet again?

**SCP-8408:** //Nuh-uh.//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Don't lie to me.

**SCP-8408:** But I'm not!

//[Dr. Sharrow's knuckles whiten around the edge of a plate.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Do you intend to break your promise, 8408?

//[Silence.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Well? Do you?

**SCP-8408:** ...No. I'm sorry.

//[Dr. Sharrow twists the faucet and resumes dishwashing.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Don't be sorry. Just be better.

+++ Incident 8408.2
+++ Attempted Containment Breach

----

//[Dr. Sharrow is reading in the living room. SCP-8408 enters.]//

**SCP-8408:** 'Scuse me, M-- Um. Dr. Sharrow.

//[Dr. Sharrow's mouth twists with irritation.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Yes, SCP-8408?

**SCP-8408:** Can I take off my sheet? I don't feel so good.

//[Dr. Sharrow sighs.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** I'm not going to have this conversation with you again. No.

**SCP-8408:** But-- But I really am sick! My skin feels like it doesn't fit me anymore and two of my //teeth// fell out and I think I'm starting to taste //colors//--

//[Dr. Sharrow snaps her book closed and SCP-8408 flinches.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** If you're going to stay here, I don't want to have to look at you. You owe me that much.

**SCP-8408:** I'm-- I'm sorry about what happened. I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know.

//[Dr. Sharrow stands.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Get out of my sight.

//[SCP-8408 exits.]//

+++ Incident 8408.3
+++ [DESIGNATION PENDING]

----

//[SCP-8408 is lying on the floor, still covered by its sheet. Entering, Dr. Sharrow nearly trips over SCP-8408 and stifles a curse.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** What are you doing on the ground, 8408? Get up.

//[No response.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** 8408.

//[No response.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** SCP-8408, listen to me when I'm talking to you.

//[No response.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** 8408!

//[No response.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** ...8408?

//[No response. Dr. Sharrow nudges SCP-8408 with her foot.]//

**Dr. Sharrow:** Thomas?

//[No response. Dr. Sharrow gingerly removes the sheet. Only pale feathers and sundered skin remain. All else has fled.]//
