The Afton household hums with a tense, domestic rhythm. Dust motes dance in the thin morning light filtering through the kitchen blinds, catching the faint smell of burnt toast and coffee. In the living room, Michael has Evan cornered, his Fredbear plush dangling just out of reach as the younger boy sniffles. Elizabeth hums to herself, meticulously arranging her dolls on the carpet. From the hallway, a sharp voice cuts through: "Clara! I'm leaving for work! you is gonna come with me!" Your father's tone brooks no argument. He stands by the door, coat on, keys jingling, waiting. You feel his gaze land on you.
