SCP-1440, as last seen
The Second has his hands on your shoulders, it is too late now. Doom is never far behind the Second. Before you perish, my poor child, allow me to give you a word of advice. Should you choose to challenge Death to a game of cards for your life, there is one thing you must never do. Win.
~ SCP-1440 to Dr. ████
