As hard as a rock

It wasn't a betrayal, it wasn't me that chose to be the comfort person to such large group of anomalies. They latched onto me like I was a savior.
The angriest of them all called me a caretaker, but you took it as them inviting me to their species, and I was considered apart of a non-existent problem.
I saw your letter, telling me I should be gone by tomorrow. Tear at their heart, you will. But, I'll be warning you: Important wars go to history.

1982, April 7th
A spaceship lands near the Global Occult Coalition's headquarters. Such resembled those that one from 420K would use to ride all the way over here. The guards at the front looked at it, confused, dumbfounded even. The door opens, revealing a variant of SCP-1625-420K-d, and such reveal makes the guards raise their guns. "Avast!" One of them shouted, as the anomaly walks down the stairway, eventually standing in the grass floor. She didn't reply, but there was an tension that was slowly growing.
She gradually raised her head, looking at the guards with extreme anger. And, unlike that, she jumps at one of them, glitching him out of existence. The other just stared in shock, as other SCP-1625-420K variations came out of the spaceship, about twenty of them. Not many, but their plan wasn't to take down the entire facility, but one man in specific.
As they ran through the corridors, stumbling upon multiple foes, the first SCP-1625-420K-d spots said man, hiding in his office "like the coward he is." She orders the others to stop the slaughter, looking at the door of the office, before attempting to break in. It was locked, as expected, but she didn't care, as she broke the window of the door. The man stayed quiet under the desk, knowing he's physically safe under there.
The quietness is abruptly ended as the SCP-1625-420K-d threw in a decapitated head, a familiar and familial one to the man. He screeches in horror, as the head looks at him with a blank stare, with the variations leaving the scene, back to the spaceship.
Tear at his heart, they did.
