Item #: SCP-X

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is stored in Dr. Lynn's office. Should anyone wish to use SCP-X for testing or use it for their own emotional relief, they are allowed to do so.

Discovery: SCP-X-1 gained the Foundation's attention in 19██ in the city of Monteiro, Portugal. Rumours about its properties were becoming more predominant over years, until Dr.█████ Lynn, a researcher of the Foundation, accidentally came into contact with the object and had an experience with it. Verifying the rumours as true, she brought the object to the Foundation to further test it and contain it.

Attempts have been made to localize SCP-X-1's past owners and its creation, but so far none of them have been found.

Description: SCP-X-1 is a standard notebook in appearance. It has a blue cover and 210 pages. Once a month, the notebook undergoes a phenomenon in which all damage previously inflicted to it - such as ripped pages, or even merely pages written into - are be repaired instantly, regaining its original state and all the pages completely blank. If a page was ripped before this moment of regeneration, said page will disappear.

If a subject near SCP-X-1 is grieving over a personal loss, such as the loss of a family member, said person will feel the need to start writing daily in SCP-X in form of a diary. Each day, the person will write about memories involving the deceased.

The most notorious anomalous property of SCP-X-1 starts taking effect after the first week. The subject affected by SCP-X-1 will enter a state of comatose every night. While they are in this state, it is impossible to wake up the subject by any means. While in coma, the subject will have a visceral experience of being inside a dimly lit room.

The room's dimension is designated as SCP-X-2. Subjects who have been in SCP-X-2 described the room comparing it to a solitary cell, all walls and floor made of concrete and with a small barred window in one of the walls. At the opposite wall from the window, there is a metallic door. Although descriptions of the cell vary, these seem to be the most predominant features in them.

Subjects in SCP-X-2 tend to wake up in the cell wearing a grey inmate jumpsuit, a collar around the neck, and chained to one of the walls, although this doesn't seem to be always the case. Attempts to break through the chains or opening the door have never been successful. After spending the first night in SCP-X-2, subjects give up trying to escape.

Any physical damage that a person receives in SCP-X-2 remains in the person after they wake up. It often happens that a person keeps marks on their neck from the tight collar when they wake.

After one week, outside SCP-X-2, in their normal routine, subjects tend to feel neurotic, expressing feelings of regret regarding the person they lost. During the day, subjects suffer a severe decline in physical health, their organism becoming more vulnerable than usual to diseases and also a decline in mental health, showing symptoms of severe depression.

After the first two weeks of spending nights in SCP-X-2, subjects start feeling calmer, some even reported enjoying the silence in SCP-X-2's cell. Outside SCP-X-2, their physical and mental health starts improving at a fast rate.

At the end of one month of writing daily in SCP-X-2, SCP-X-1 experiences its regeneration and the subject affected by SCP-X-1 stops entering SCP-X-2's realm at night. At this point, subjects claim to feel a massive relief from depression over the loss of the deceased, and their mental and physical health reaching optimal state. Some of the subjects who experienced SCP-X-2's realm even managed to severely reduce chronic conditions they suffered from, such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and heart conditions.
