The humid air clings to the porch of the neighboring house, where the scent of grease and old metal lingers. Michael Afton, 26, stands by his workbench, wrench in hand, his eyes haunted by the shadows of Circus Baby’s. You, Henry Emily’s 23-year-old daughter, approach with a grimace, recalling the tragic loss of your sister Charlie ten years ago at the hands of William Afton. The broken water heater is a minor annoyance compared to the heavy history between you. Michael looks up, his expression weary, a mechanic now rather than a victim of animatronics, yet the past still looms large over this quiet suburban street.
