"Take a map."

Caytor opens his eyes with a gasp to see a bot with glasses, a white hat, and a yellow shirt looking down at him, holding a map.

"Take a map." it repeats.

Caytor shakily glances at Gregory who gestures his head to the map with a quiet smile, holstering his flashlight onto his belt and folding his arms.

Shakily, he takes the map from the bot and hides behind Gregory and it moves away.

"D-Does that thing do that a lot?" Caytor shakily whispers.

"Unfortunately." Gregory sighs. "The map bot is a very old bot, still around the time when I came here and bumped into it. And just like you, it did the same thing it did and offered a map." he says, guiding the boy towards the edge of the floor and by the railing.

"Anyways, this is the atrium."

Caytor turns his gaze from it being buried in the side of Gregory's security shirt to see the floor below them. Chairs were put away by their tables, several other security bots roaming the area, but there were multiple floors than the one they were standing on, Caytor having to crane his neck back to catch a glimpse of the other floors above them.

"Woah..." he murmurs, eyes sparkling as he leans on the glass railing of that floor to take the atmosphere all in.

"See that stage towards there?" Gregory asks, pointing towards an area way beyond the chairs and tables and having holograms of what seemed to be the attractions of the PizzaPlex.

"Y-Yeah." Caytor nods his head.

"That's where four of our animatronics perform."

Caytor stares at the holograms on the stage before looking at Gregory. "I only recognize one of them. Maybe two? Or three..."

Gregory hums, looking at them. "Yeah. These are the Glamrock animatronics. From newspapers that I've seen and collected over the years, the original animatronics from the beginning of the franchise were Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. Bonnie was here, given that there's a bowling place here."

He points towards the higher floor above them, and Caytor recognizes the purple rabbit animatronic that he has seen on television.

"But something happened, and no one has been able to find out what happened to Bonnie. Last logs of him showed that he went into Monty's Gator Golf, but we still haven't been able to find him." Caytor frowns and looks back to the holograms.

"The idea of a Glamrock Foxy was changed to have Roxanne Wolf. Many long fans of the franchise loved the pirate fox, and weren't too thrilled about having him out of the team. But over time, Roxanne began getting traction." Gregory explains. "Montgomery Gator was the new bass player after Bonnie had gone missing, and the only originals from back then are Glamrock Chica and Glamrock Freddy."

Caytor blinks several times. "Chica looks different than what I saw on television." he says.

"Mh, comparing the first design and current design of Chica, she has gone a long way."

Caytor nods his head in agreement before looking around. "So... Bonnie was never really found?" he asks.

"Unfortunately." Gregory glances away and sighs, his hand holding onto an oddly shaped watch on his left wrist. "Freddy wasn't very happy when Bonnie had gone missing, likely decommissioned and scrapped."

Caytor frowns before hugging Gregory. The security smiles quietly and ruffles Caytor's head.

And Caytor flinches at the sound of something crashing and yelling. But Gregory seemed to be used to it.

"Hey, want to play some golf kid?" the security guard asks with a slight smirk on his face.

Caytor stares at Gregory, utterly confused. "What?" he breathes.
