└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

``` SCP-4702 is to be kept in a standard refrigeration unit at Site-19. Personnel are not to make eye contact with SCP-4702 during feeding hours (07:00-09:00). DESCRIPTION: SCP-4702 appears to be a bowl of cornflakes approximately 40 years past its expiration date. The milk has never curdled. The cereal has never softened. When observed during morning hours, the cornflakes arrange themselves into crude representations of the observer's face. Subjects report feeling "seen" and "known" by SCP-4702. ████████ ████ ████████ Dr. Yates consumed SCP-4702 on ██/██/20██. She has not stopped smiling. She no longer requires sleep. Her breakfast is inside her now.
