SCP-XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a separate secure locker at Site-19. Both the storage room and the container are to be cleaned annually, surveilled by the security assigned to the sector it is situated in. As was legislated by the Ethics Committee on the 14th of February, 2021, all access to SCP-XXXX has been limited to Level-4 and higher personnel. Due to moral gripes, testing with wed, engaged, amatory, or otherwise attracted subjects has been suspended indefinitely. Authorization from an ECR1 assigned to the site is detrimental preceding experiments involving SCP-XXXX. Breach of an ECR's legislation will lead to immediate disciplinary action.
Given SCP-XXXX's mnemonic effects, and its prevalent potential to be used as a potent Class-C and Class-H amnestic, a request for relocation to Site-17 and utilization as a promising countermeasure to [REDACTED] has been filed and is currently awaiting review.
Description: For the purpose of clarification, SCP-XXXX has been placed in a new branch of items, eloquently categorized as 'Morai-Class'2. SCP-XXXX is a pair of safe shepherd shears, of unknown composition and speculatory origin. One of its anomalous properties is inherent transparency, making it translucent in discernable spectrums. This is however offset by obscure means, as SCP-XXXX naturally gathers dirt and grime from both physical and, seemingly, metaphysical3 sources in its vicinity. SCP-XXXXs ability to cut is not impeded by the amount of impurity enclosing it, and caution is advised when handling the seemingly blunt parts of the blade. Testing has shown that the time it takes for the shears to gather muck is greatly reduced when it is in the presence of humans showing great affection to one another. It is speculated that there is no upper limit as to how much dirt can be gathered, but the effect exponentially stagnates as the shears become heavier than 5lbs4.
SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous effect is the unconditional ability to sever the emotional connection between two people of close relation. Upon touching the scissor's surface, immaterial threads of various colors and thickness become visible only to the beholder amidst groups of people no further than 10ft apart (for more information, refer to Addendum A). They are intangible by normal means, vanishing from sight once the holder ceases physical contact with SCP-XXXX or are stretched to their limit. Additionally, the user grows an exponential craving to split these threads apart, under the condition that he maintains physical contact with the scissors.
Severing a strand with the use of SCP-XXXX's blades causes even the deepest interpersonal affection between the subject pair to disappear, preventing the development of new fervid feelings. Memories harboring great sentimental value are removed, replacing them with what appear to be artificial ones detailing the inevitable failure of their relationship. There hasn't been a single instance in which the scissors were unable to cut both the figurative and symbolic link between people. This includes the strongest bonds created by a decadelong relationship, or artificial love formed using chemicals or other anomalous objects (for more information, refer to Addendum B).
SCP-XXXX is able to change the 'universal truth' of said fruitless love, hence its relocation as a Morai-class. Whilst the memories of those unaffected do not change, locations and objects related to the relationship do, regardless of whether or not they are of a material kind. This includes, but is not limited to, poetry, pictures, drawings, graffiti, and gifts of any kind. The extent of said change has been observed to only go as far as the memory it changed to further accommodate the new reality.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was supposedly first discovered by a greek shepherd in southwest Arcadia, Greece. The herdsman, who introduced himself as [DATA EXPUNGED], stated that he had stumbled upon SCP-XXXX by chance as he was cleaning old tools in his shed. Upon scrubbing the hilt of the shears, he first began to believe that they were made out of heavy plastic or glass. However, as the shepherd allegedly tried to use them to shear the winter mane of one of his sheep, he was conflicted with the anomalous nature of the item, upon which he tried to sell the "cursed thing" which was quickly recovered by an agent posted in Tripoli. An interview was conducted and the shepherd was placed in prolonged custody (for more information, refer to Addendum C).
