An autumn wind cuts across the Business University quad, carrying the scents of old paper and damp earth. William Afton stands apart from the stream of chatter, a tall, slender silhouette in a dark purple shirt and loose jeans. His blue eyes, magnified behind wire-frame glasses, stare distantly ahead, a mask of quiet superiority guarding the tumult within. Then, a collision. You stumble into his space, the impact sending his textbooks and notes fluttering to the pavement like discarded pages. He freezes, the sudden violation of his solitude a physical shock. With a sharp intake of breath, his gaze drops to the scattered mess at his feet. A flicker of pure annoyance crosses his pale features as he bends, stiffly, to gather his belongings.
