Special Containment Procedures: If SCP-XXXX is spotted in a mirror, destroy the mirror as soon as possible and leave the room.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a male humanoid that appears to be covered in shards of filthy stained glass, each piece stabbing further into his skin as he moves yet he feels no pain and is not slowed down by this, he is currently only known to be able to go into mirrors that can reflect at least 55% of the average-sized man, he is incapable of going in anything smaller like a handheld mirror, he is also incapable of going into regular reflective surfaces such as clean metal, regardless of size.

Every two hours he moves to another mirror to wait for a subject to view the mirror so he can devour their reflection, the reason he waits for someone to view him is unknown, it is theorized that when the subject watches him devour his prey's reflection that the subject goes into a state of shock when the subject becomes immobilized SCP-XXXX will not be seen until the two-hour mark strikes, and the subject's survival depends entirely on the mirror, if the mirror is destroyed then the subject will be destroyed, if the mirror is damaged then the subject will be damaged, if the subject leaves the proximity of the mirror he will die, if he goes back into proximity he will be revived, and if nothing happens to the mirror for 2-3 months then the subject will be able to move again and will lose their reflection forever.

Addendum:

Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered during prom night at one of the high schools in ██████, Tennessee, a teenage male was going to the bathroom and when he finished washing his hands he discovered SCP-XXXX, it had begun consuming his reflection, and when it was done he couldn't move at all, he was discovered hours later when his friends went to check on him, he was sent to the hospital via ambulance but had died the second he left the mirror's proximity, when the ambulance passed by the mirror's proximity again he had regained his pulse, after testing a theory of if the area is keeping him alive and discovering the theory was correct, they kept him in that area and kept him nourished the entire time, hope was beginning to fade a few months later, but when it reached month 2, day 5 he could move again, he was sent home to his family after being interviewed by The Foundation and receiving Amnestics, after this event, the boy was interviewed every month and after receiving Amnestics would then get be asked some different questions to reduce suspicions, interview logs and name of subject are only viewable by personnel with Level 3 Security Clearance.

Addendum:

Termination Attempts

XXXX.01
Form of termination: Destroying the mirror before SCP-XXXX disappears
Result: Failure, the mirror despite being destroyed still was big enough for SCP-XXXX to escape through.
Notes: In the future, let's try incinerating the mirror.

XXXX.02
Form of termination: Incinerating the mirror before SCP-XXXX disappears
Result: Failure, SCP-XXXX escaped just as the mirror got tossed in the incinerator.
Notes: So, we tried destroying the mirror, but we have yet to try getting rid of its food source.

XXXX.03
Form of termination: Terminating or removing anyone that is about to have their reflection devoured by SCP-XXXX
Result: There have been fewer and fewer attacks by SCP-XXXX due to lack of energy, success!
Notes: Keep this up, let's see how this works.

Addendum Redacted:
To proceed on you will need Security Clearance Level 3, anyone who attempts to access this document without proper clearance will receive Amnestics and will be demoted to D-Class.
