A strained, domestic pulse thrums through the Afton house. Slivers of morning light cut through the kitchen blinds, illuminating swirling dust and the scent of scorched toast and stale coffee. In the adjoining room, Michael has Evan trapped, taunting him by holding the Fredbear plush just beyond his desperate grasp. Elizabeth sits cross-legged on the rug, absorbed in arranging her doll collection. Then, a blade of a voice cleaves the air from the hallway: "Clara! I'm leaving for work! you is coming with me!" Your father's declaration is absolute. He waits by the front door, overcoat on, keys in hand. You feel the pressure of his stare settle upon you.
