SCP-4639's residence.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4639's bungalow residence is to be perpetually cohabited by a plainclothes team comprising two adolescents and a middle-aged male of Singaporean Chinese ethnicity. The active team rotates weekly, and is tasked with household security, general maintenance, and upkeeping a semblance of domestic normalcy.
To mitigate the risk of family dysfunction, all eligible individuals must rank above the 97th percentile in the Holistic Field Dexterity Index1 prior to deployment, and be catechised in the latest iteration of the Defuse Protocol. The team should eschew clinicality and curtness when interacting with SCP-4639, and make proactive effort to show SCP-4639 affection. A buzzer system has been affixed to SCP-4639’s bed-frame, allowing SCP-4639 to summon members of the cohabitation team via electronic pager.
Should SCP-4639 become untethered, the team is to unconditionally cease and desist until the tether reconstitutes. Funds are to be judiciously allotted for the swift replacement of household items damaged or destroyed in such outbursts.
Description: SCP-4639 is a bedridden, feminine humanoid bearing the name of Ruth Lim. SCP-4639 is bound to its duvet and bedsheets by an impervious tether composed of an indistinct mucosal substance. This tether is pathokinetically influenced; that is, it strengthens and wavers according to changes in SCP-4639's emotional state.
When said emotional state depresses beyond certain qualitative thresholds, the tether disintegrates. A melodramatic outburst from SCP-4639 will invariably result, adhering to the following pattern:
- SCP-4639 will comment mockingly on the perceived failures of the containment team responsible for the worsening of its mood;
- SCP-4639 will use its newfound mobility to thrash, shatter, or otherwise render unusable various household items;
- SCP-4639 will express profound remorse for its actions, and claim that the tether is necessary to alleviate hypothetical future incidents;
- The tether will reform in SCP-4639's present location and convey it back to its bed.
Primary containment focuses around averting this scenario through the strict regulation of environmental stimuli, domestic conditions, and SCP-4639's interpersonal relationships.
Addendum 4639.1 - Defuse Protocol
In 2013, a list of "domestic best practices" for mollifying SCP-4639 was compiled using a multi-sensory framework. This has since been codified as the Defuse Protocol and declared mandatory reading for SCP-4639 containment personnel. An abridged summary is as follows:

The below widget displays transcripts of SCP-4639's outbursts to date, in reverse chronological order.
(The moonlit kitchen is empty. Rapid footfalls fade into another section of the house amid hushed whispers. SCP-4639 begins vocalising off-camera from the adjoining corridor.)
SCP-4639: Donovan! Sam! Come! I want y'all to see this.
(Silence.)
SCP-4639: I have absolutely no qualms breaking expensive items, you know right, guys. Limited edition Kentucky-brand mandolin, bought from Swee Lee, what, three hundred, four hundred dollars? Wow! Very good!
(Hollow wood is heard impacting against plaster.)
SCP-4639: Bespoke setup by renowned local luthier, Malcolm Lee himself, certified expert, professional craftsmanship, what, two hundred dollars?
(Another impact is heard.)
SCP-4639: Cosmetic repair from that last time, countless singing sessions… all those fond, precious memories from the bedroom… Heh! Priceless, right?
(A final impact is heard, followed by small fragments clattering against the marble floor.)
SCP-4639: When I open my home to you, I do so out of goodwill. And what do I get? Not a shred of gratitude from you children. You can't even be bothered to watch the time, or wear a watch, I've been nagging at you to wear a watch for the past two days, you choose to disobey me, right? Very good! You don't take my evening serenade seriously, you come five minutes late - this is what you get, alright? This is what you get. (muttering) It’s what you get.
(SCP-4639 enters the kitchen. It moves within the camera's field of view.)
SCP-4639: Oh, and bravo - what's your name, young woman - ah, Sam, you called yourself a Christian, right? Hah, Christian my foot, lah!2
(SCP-4639 presses its hands against the kitchentop counter and gazes emptily at the floor. After two minutes, it removes a satchel from a cupboard, and begins brewing a cup of instant chamomile tea. When done, it slumps to the floor with its cup in hand, taking sporadic sips.)
(SCP-4639 remains wordlessly in this position for 13 minutes. With deliberate slowness, it then removes its smartphone from its sweatpants and opens a reader application.3 Pockets of mucosal material begin to materialise from inside the cupboards, between wall tiles, and behind the condiment rack.)
(Junior Field Agent, 17-year-old Samantha Goh, enters the kitchen cautiously as the pockets begin to coalesce. SCP-4639 chokes back sobs.)
SCP-4639: My theology, Sam…
(SCP-4639 points to her phone.)
SCP-4639: Why isn't my theology more than words?
