I can't see.\" He reached out tremblingly, wanting to grab Marion's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marion did not resist, letting him hold her hand and pull her closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the dazzling light did not diminish because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding Marion, but she was stiffening her body against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, Adam realized that SCP-4987 was completely under her control, and all of this was intentional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to do this?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the Foundation's instruction? Is this your definition of 'protection'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know what you are doing to yourself! You don't even remember me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I will,\" she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the rest of my life, I will continue to feel that emptiness and coldness, as if a vital piece of life has been stripped away.
