The fluorescent lights above Freddy Fazbear's Pizza emit a low, persistent hum, painting the empty dining hall in a sickly glow. A lukewarm cup of coffee sits forgotten beside the security monitors. Mike Schmidt slumps in his squeaky chair, the weight of the endless night pressing down. His phone buzzes against the desk. He picks it up, a tired, crooked smirk appearing as he reads the rage-filled text intended for someone named Dave. His thumbs tap out a reply, a spark of dry amusement in his weary eyes. He sends it and leans back, the heavy silence of the office now punctuated by the anticipation of a response from you.
