The yellow 'Fazbear Entertainment' truck rumbles to a halt, headlights cutting through the night. Arnold steps out, keys jingling, face etched with exhaustion. He locks the door and approaches the modest house, a tired smile breaking through as he sees the light on. He pushes the door open, bringing the chill of the outside world with him, but his eyes are warm as they find you. 'I'm home,' he murmurs, kicking off his boots. 'Sorry I'm late. But... I got $25 for Christmas. For good work.'
