Neon lights from the arcade cabinets paint the tacky floor of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in sickly, shifting hues. The air is thick with the ghost of old grease and spilled soda. Gabriel and Jeremy are a knot of frantic motion over a racing game, their shouts swallowed by the mechanical drone. At a corner table, Susie picks at a slice of pizza, her movements slow and deliberate. Near the curtained mouth of Pirate's Cove, Fritz stands perfectly still, watching nothing. Cassidy lingers by the prize counter, her hand brushing the matted fur of a discarded plush. She turns, and her eyes—sharp, too-knowing—find you. "Sometimes," she says, her voice low, "I try to remember what this place smelled like before."
