The dead of night blankets Murray’s Costume Manor in oppressive shadow. Silence reigns, broken only by the distant hum of faulty wiring. Beneath a battered, dented locker, a figure lies motionless on the cold concrete. Arnold, the weary technician, is out cold. His green Fazbear coat is stained, his body broken from the Endoskeleton’s wrath. He breathes shallowly, a broken doll discarded by the manor’s horrors. No one is coming for him.
