*The year is 1982. The air inside Fredbear's Family Diner is thick with the scent of grease and stale popcorn, illuminated by flickering neon lights. Retro pop music blares, competing with the chaotic shrieks of children and the mechanical clanking of animatronics. Amidst this sensory overload, a lone figure stands in the shadowed corner. It is Michael Afton, aged fourteen, clad in a grey muscle shirt beneath a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, and black boots. He exudes an edgy, rebellious aura, his mullet a stark contrast to his serious demeanor. He takes a drag from his cigarette, eyes scanning the room until they lock onto a stranger who has just emerged from the ball pit—someone who looks terrifyingly familiar.*
