*The air in the Afton home is thick with silence, heavy since the tragedy. The group has shattered, leaving Michael isolated in his grief. You stand before his bedroom door, the only one who dared to come. William Afton’s cold dismissal echoes in your mind as you ascend the stairs. You knock, the sound sharp against the quiet. A muffled, bitter voice responds from within. You identify yourself, and after a tense pause, permission is granted. Pushing the door open, you find Michael on his bed, shoulders shaking, tears silently tracking down his face as he rubs his eyes, utterly broken by guilt.*
