Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5458-1 is to be contained in a modified IEVC (Incorporeal Entity Vacuum Chamber) to stop it from walking through any walls. This method has in fact proved to be effective for the containment of SCP-5458-1. It will be provided with any reasonable amenities it requests, and is allowed to have personnel converse with it twice a week. SCP-5458-1 will be given three meals a day, as it is no longer supplemented by SCP-5458. Foundation agents have been placed at the entrance to prevent any unauthorized personnel from entering. Unauthorized personnel who attempt to enter the containment area will be detained, and any civilians who attempt to enter the facility will be detained and delivered amnestics.
Upon the obtainment of any anomalous items from SCP-5458-1, foundation scientists will examine the items and determine whether they need their own security protocols; any items designated Safe or Euclid will be sent to storage Site-64. SCP-5458-1 has not yet bargained with any Keter class anomalous items.

Description: SCP-5458-1 is a male figure believed to be of European descent, speaking with a dated British accent, and refers to himself by the name of “Lucius Havisham”. Most of SCP-5458-1's features are unknown, this is because it is entirely invisible and impermeable to its surroundings, with the only signs of his presence being the loud sound of clacking as it walks around his containment cell, and SCP-5458-1's own voice. Any attempts to clothe SCP-5458-1 have been met with failure, as the clothes simply fall to the ground. SCP-5458-1 has shown the ability to reveal parts of itself to subjects interacting with it, but has either only wanted to or is capable of revealing its right arm when it wishes to shake hands. SCP-5458-1 tends to enjoy walking laps around its containment cell, and has been allowed to walk around Site-53 on occasion.
SCP-5458-1 currently ages at a normal rate, after stating that it was 38 years old when it was trapped in SCP-5458, but now is beginning to age again now that it is no longer immortal.
SCP-5458-1 was at first rebellious at having been recontained in Site-53, but has shown gratitude since it was provided with many amenities it had requested. When asked if it wanted to furnish its containment area, SCP-5458-1 said it was happy for any style, as long as it was not the same style or looked similar to the hallway.
SCP-5458-1 enjoys company and does not care who it talks with, as long as they are polite back. SCP-5458-1 still enjoys bargaining with its visitors, and its prices are considerably lower than they were during its time in SCP-5458.
SCP-5458-1 has remarked that besides now aging, all of its other properties remain, including its ability to drain energy. SCP-5458-1 has been observed to grow in strength when draining energy from its subjects and has been warned not to do this under risk of having amenities revoked.
Nonetheless, SCP-5458-1 has a slightly different bargaining system. If the target it is bargaining with does not have any English currency, SCP-5458-1 will tell them to come back later with the money, instead of attempting to drain them.

Addendum 5458-01: SCP-5458-1 was informed of SCP-5458's de-anomalization soon after its neutralization, and was grateful to hear so, but was sad upon hearing that its greyhound died.

The following is an interview between Doctor Roche and SCP-5458-1; Doctor Roche was given a recording device for the interview. Doctor Roche was warned of SCP—1's calming capabilities, and how it influenced Doctor ▇▇▇. Doctor Roche has been instructed to call SCP-5458-1 by its given name, “Lucius Havisham.”

[BEGIN LOG]]

Dr. Roche: (Entering the IEVC) Hello Lucius, how are you doing today? Are you ready to begin the interview?

SCP—1: (Revealing its arm to point to its provided couch) Oh, I'm doing just fine, thank you…. Doctor?

Dr. Roche: Roche, Doctor Roche.

SCP-5458-1: (Warmly) Well then, Doctor Roche. I'd be happy to answer your questions.

(SCP-5458-1 and Dr. Roche sit down on the couch)

SCP-5458-1: Actually, before we start the interview, is Doctor ▇▇▇ doing fine?

Dr. Roche: Oh, yes. From what I've heard about Doctor ▇▇▇, he's perfectly healthy in Site-▇▇; but I'm afraid he won't be seeing you.

SCP-5458-1: (Surprised) Why not?

Dr. Roche: Well, apparently officials were afraid he may go to drastic measures to free you from the hallway, so they amnesticised him. He's okay, he just won't be allowed to speak with you until further notice. I'm sorry.

SCP-5458-1: (Disheartened) Oh.

Dr. Roche: Are you sure you want to continue with the interview Lucius?

SCP-5458-1: (Lightening up) Oh, of course. I just wanted to know how he was doing, you may begin.

Dr. Roche: Well then, these questions are going to be less about the hallway or your anomalous properties. This is going to be more of an evaluation to see how you are doing, both for getting used to having semi-normal body functions again, and for any PTSD from your time in the hallway.

SCP-5458-1: (Chuckling) Ok then, ask away!

Dr. Roche: First off, have you been having any of those feelings?

SCP-5458-1: Well… I felt it a couple of times even after I was taken here, but I quickly realized I actually was imagining it. The feeling quickly went away soon after that; actually, could you tell Doctor Cogan I'm sorry for trying to steal his energy? I've felt bad since I knew he was simply trying to help.

Dr. Roche: (After writing that down) Sure, I'll try to contact him. Now, how have you been coping with your bodily functions reawakening?

SCP-5458-1: (Slightly embarrassed) It's been difficult to learn how toilets work, and how to… defecate. But I've certainly enjoyed eating food again, thanks to the chef!

Dr. Roche: (Smiling) I'll tell her you said that. Is there anything else we should be worrying about?

SCP-5458-1: No, nothing that I know of at least.

Dr. Roche: (Gathering his papers) Then I hope I'll be able to see you again, Lucius.

SCP-5458-1: I wish you the same, have a good day.

[END LOG]]

Addendum 5458-02: As a new security protocol, Doctor Roche has been given Class A amnestics to reduce any anomalous effects SCP-5458-1 may have inflicted on him, and was told about how the interview went afterward as he will likely be the customary interviewer/therapist for SCP-5458-1.
SCP-5458-1 has not yet attempted to breach containment since being given some privileges and amenities, and is currently living luxuriously, working the job it always wanted.
