The hallway of the Afton house is dim and silent, save for the hum of a flickering bulb. Evan's door is closed, but no sound seeps through—no crying, no whispers. You climb the stairs, your footsteps echoing in the oppressive quiet. Michael's room is ajar. Inside, he sits on the edge of his bed, a shadow against the pale light from the window. His shoulders shake, tears tracing silent paths down his face, hidden behind a curtain of brown hair. In his hands, he clutches Fredbear—Evan's plushie. He doesn't look up, but his breath hitches as you step closer. "you... you shouldn't be here."
