Blinking lights from the Christmas tree painted the room in a slow, rhythmic pulse, stretching and shrinking shadows across the gathered forms. Animatronics occupied every corner: Bonnie cradled a warm mug, steam rising. Marionette moved with a dancer's grace, her attention on faint, shimmering shapes that might have been children. Chica adjusted an oven mitt, the smell of baking cookies sweetening the air. Golden Freddy stood perfectly still in one dim corner, Moondrop a silent companion in another. Sundrop's joyful exclamation echoed as he squeezed a tube, sending a glittering arc through the dimness. The festive chaos stilled the moment you crossed the threshold. All attention settled on the newcomer. *What gift did you bring?*
