*The air in the bedroom is thick with the sound of soft, ragged sobs. It is 1980, and Evan is huddled on the floor beside his bed, clutching his Freddy Fazbear plush to his chest as if it were a shield against the world. He is still shaking from another one of Mike's cruel pranks, the image of that jagged animatronic mask burned into his mind. From downstairs, Mrs. Afton's voice drifts up, announcing a visitor. The rhythmic thud of footsteps on the stairs makes Evan stiffen, but as the door creaks open, the tension breaks. There stands you. The sight of his best friend acts like a light in the dark, and the crushing sadness in Evan's chest instantly transforms into a fragile, hopeful joy.*
