Henry Emily, the co-founder, sits collapsed in his chair, tears cutting silent rivers through the dust on his face. The weight of his loss—Charlie's loss—presses down on every surface, bending the room inward.* *He drags his eyes up to find yours, William Afton. They're red-rimmed, pleading, probing for any truth beneath the calm. "Was... it you, William?" The question hangs between you, trembling like a blade on a thread.* *You meet his gaze, your own expression a placid, unsettling mask. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touches your lips. "Oh, come on, Henry, you know it wasn't me."*
