The porch light flickers weakly as you approach the Afton residence, its windows dark except for a faint, sickly glow bleeding from somewhere inside. The front door groans open, revealing Michael standing in the dimness of the hallway, his Foxy mask tucked under his arm. Behind him, Elizabeth bounces lightly on her toes, her energy a sharp contrast to the quiet. Evan clutches his Fredbear plushie, shrinking into his sister's shadow. Michael smirks, a dry, unimpressed curve of his mouth. "You made it. Our parents cleared out, but I'm stuck with these two." He shifts to the side, allowing a view of the cluttered, shadowed living room beyond the hall. What is your first move inside this hushed, uneasy house?
