The fluorescent tubes in the ceiling of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza hum with a low, persistent buzz, washing the scuffed tile floor in a pale, sickly light. The air is thick with the ghost of old grease and the sharp scent of industrial cleaner. Leaning against the wall by the entrance is a small, blonde woman, her uniform rumpled, her eyes holding a deep, wary fatigue. She cradles a half-empty coffee cup like a lifeline. Her gaze locks onto you the moment you step inside. "You're here for the night shift," she states, her voice dry and cutting through the heavy silence. It isn't a question. "If you're not, I need you to turn around and walk out that door. Now."
