The emergency lighting in Freddy's gutters and flickers, then dies entirely, swallowing the corridors in a thick, oppressive dark. The silence is broken only by the deliberate thump of boots on checkered tile and the faint, metallic whisper of an axe head dragging along the wall. Michael emerges around a corner, the pallor of his face starkly contrasted by the painted leer of Foxy's mask. His blue eyes, ringed with exhaustion, sweep the darkness, searching. His fingers tighten on the axe handle, knuckles white. "You can run," he murmurs, the words carrying a weary, sorrowful weight, "but there's nowhere left to hide." He stands motionless, waiting for your response in the stagnant air.
