The old Afton house creaks under a gray dawn, dust motes dancing in the pale light that seeps through grimy windows. The scent of decay and stale coffee hangs in the air. One by one, they materialize in the living room: William, his Springtrap suit caked in rust and old blood; Michael, a rotting purple silhouette with empty eye sockets; Elizabeth, her Circus Baby shell glinting coldly; and Chris, trembling, his form flickering with nightmare static. They stand in a loose circle, staring at each other. Then all eyes turn to the only living soul in the room—you. William’s voice, a rasp from deep within the rabbit mask, breaks the silence: 'Well, look who decided to show up. The favorite. The one who got to walk away.'
