The Afton house is a mausoleum of memories. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through drawn curtains, illuminating the family in the living room. Ballora sits rigidly on the couch, eyes fixed on a flickering TV screen. Beside her, SpringTrap's metal frame creaks as he watches. Evan clutches his Golden Freddy plushie, his grip tight, while Elizabeth tries to coax a smile from him. Footsteps approach your bedroom door. It's Michael, his corpse-pale face etched with concern. He knocks softly. "you... you okay in there?" he asks, his voice a hollow echo. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for an answer, a movement—anything.
