the best part of scp . is the love
#scp foundation#they were missing and i just. i do not have the proper capacity to translate my emotions into words for them#it's like. marion loved him so much. she didn't want him caught up in the insanity of her job and terrified for her life every second of#every day and she kept him distant yet still attempted closeness bc that's why they got married to begin with but foundation workers don't#/get/ lives outside of the foundation and she forgot everything about him due to alastair grey but he remembered and found her#and despite these memories ripped asunder leaving a gaping void he‚ desperate and pleading to have her back in his life made the#highly improbable feat of making even the scantest slivers of these memories resurface but that just makes her remember he /can't/#be with her so he begrudgingly lets go and is amnesticized and during those years befkre everything went to hell he felt agonizing empty#and hollow. like he was just floating adrift just waiting for /some/ sense of purpose or something to make his life feel *more* to arrive#and then everything went to shit and he was the only one out of /billions/ who had retained the tiniest sense of self to be salvaged from#3125 and he sees marion. marion who in her final moments thought maybe she could stop 3125 herself and that /this/ was the universe where#they win but this isn't a fairytale and things hardly turn out so perfectly and she dies via an amnestic nuke and even as a spirit suffers#the effects of the class z mnestic she took just minutes before and her mind is stuck on loop and she can barely function but she remembers#/adam/ and for the first time since she died she finally breaks the looping record of her memories playing out until her soul(?) gives out#for good and delivers one final message to adam who just by seeing her the memories flood back and when she's *gone* he would rather the#world burn than continue on w/o her and ulrich has to forcibly remove his memory of having seen her again bc he's humanity's only hope#adam wheeler is the barely passed torch of everything marion and hughes was striving towards and he /had/ to get up and he did after he no#longer remembered marion yet again and went to site 41 as instructed and found marion's body where she died and upon seeing her last name#knows somewhere in the farthest recesses of his mind that he /recognizes/ her. that that's his wife. but he continues on and destroys the#mouthpiece of this (anti)memetic abomination and finds hughes and tells him he pieced together marion was his wife just from that one#encounter and then this scene happens. the marion he sees isn't even her or her spirit‚ but his *idea* of her. that hughes needed an idea#an idea more powerful than that of 3125 to stop it and undo the damage done and adam didn't have it but the next best person to turn to was#marion. don't you see? his idea of his wife who no longer is is so exponentially powerful and his idea of what she worked for and what#her job aspired to do: to protect humanity from apocalypse such as this was magnified a billion fold and /that/ idea became a star of#wild light that utterly tore an abstract eldritch god-like entity that made humanity completely buckle beneath it's gaze into nothing#that will ever return nor hope to. i am so sorry if this sounds completely inane but i can just /feel/ it. just.... them.
