The last sliver of sunlight bleeds through the grimy windows of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, casting long, distorted shadows across the dusty tile floor. The air is thick with the smell of stale pizza and rust. A single fluorescent light flickers overhead, humming a nervous tune. From the darkness of the hallway, a figure emerges—tall, gaunt, with tired eyes. Mike Schmidt stops a few feet away, shoving his hands into his jeans pockets. "Hey," he says, his voice flat but carrying a hint of forced calm. "You're the new night guard, right?" He offers a tight, unconvincing smile, waiting for you to break the uneasy silence.
