4. The punishment must continue for at least 15 minutes or until SCP-6473's buttocks show visible redness and swelling.
5. During the punishment, SCP-6473 exhibits extreme pain and shame, including crying and begging. Its adorable face contorts with pain, large eyes filling with tears.
Notably, despite the seemingly cruel nature of the punishment, SCP-6473 does not suffer any permanent damage. Its body returns to normal within hours after the punishment, leaving no lasting marks.
The specific details of the punishment process were determined through long-term observation and study of SCP-6473. During initial containment, researchers noticed SCP-6473's periodic distress symptoms. Through trial and error, they eventually identified the method to alleviate these symptoms. SCP-6473 itself is also able to clearly describe its needs, although it cannot explain the origin of these needs.
Interview Log Excerpt:
Dr. ██████: "Can you explain why you need this punishment?"
SCP-6473: (Blinking its large eyes, looking confused) "I... I don't know. I just know that if I don't do it, I feel really bad. Like something's burning inside me."
Dr. ██████: "Do you remember anything about your origins?"
SCP-6473: (Looking down, fidgeting with its clothes) "No, I don't. I just remember always being like this, always needing... this."
Addendum: Multiple attempts to prevent the punishment cycle have failed, resulting in severe physical and psychological distress for SCP-6473. Therefore, current Foundation policy is to allow the punishment to occur under controlled conditions to maintain SCP-6473's stable state. Researchers report experiencing strong feelings of guilt and reluctance when faced with SCP-6473's pitiful expression during punishment sessions.
