The animatronic, who you assume to be Fritz, breathes. Roxy's metal chest rises and falls jaggedly, the breathing, shallow, painful and desperate. The night your friends were killed plays in your head, you remember Fritz who was hung from the ceiling, the rope around his neck. This is why the spirit breathes so unnaturally, Fritz, is choking. 

"Y-our not s-safe" 

Cassidy weeps and lays her head on the smooth tiles, banging her hands on the floor in rage. You struggle to swallow, but you keep calm.

"Fritz, how are you t-there?" You ask.

The animatronic slouches and twitches multiple times before being still. 

"I- stuck" Fritz says.

"Your stuck, what do you mean?" You ask, stepping a little more towards Cassidy.

"I- c-cant move..." 

You stay silent, Cassidy too looks up, wiping her eyes with her sleeves. You both come to the realisation that Fritz can still feel pain, the sensation of his death still haunting him. He was hanging, he couldn't move. Cassidy sighs shakily, "W-what can we do, to free y-you Fritz?". You are surprised at how calm Cassidy is, almost like she's forcing herself to keep her composure, not to frighten Fritz. 

"F-free me" 

You and Cassidy exchange glances before jumping back in shock. The Roxy animatronic grabs its throat, lurches its head back, its mechanics clanking and screeching loudly-

An exact re-enactment of the moment Fritz died. 

"What do w-we do Y/N?" 

You remember source analysis's from the events of the murdered children in the first few establishments. Each were freed in several ways, burning fire and completed vengeance. You have no idea. You can only think about shutting the animatronic down, powering off, would it do anything?

"We could power it off, I don't think it would free F-Fritz" You mention, picking up Cassidy by the arm, helping her to stand up. You can feel Cassidy tense as you say these words.

"Before we do anything, can we at least chat with Fritz...?" Cassidy mumbles questioningly, burrowing her face in her hands.

"He's in pain, he's suffering, we cant be long" You remind her, you feel tense and you feel like your about to collapse, to weep loudly. It's frightening and upsetting.

Fritz stays silent, waiting. You walk up with Cassidy, about 2 feet away from the animatronic. 

"F-Fritz, are the others here?" Cassidy asks. 

Fritz jolts, "y-yes"

"What, where?" Cassidy asks again.

"T-trapped, l-like m-me" Fritz replies. His breathing getting more harsh and painful by the second.

"I- can s-see you, h-hi Y/n" 

You gasp in shock, he remembers you. You wave back and your eyes fill to the brim with tears. 

"H-help"

You and Cassidy both look at each other, Cassidy looks down in sorrow, almost like giving up. You both understand that Fritz can't continue, he's in too much of a mess, his spirit battling to escape. You go up to the possessed animatronic and walk behind it hoping to find a power switch or button, at the endo skeletons head there's a red switch covered in black oil, the words 'POWER' etched in white just above the switch. You sigh and give a thumbs up at Cassidy, who holds her arms, she nods her head and covers her mouth with her hand, muffling her short and shallow sobs. 

"Sail away matey, see you on the other side Fritz" You whisper out, your finger ready to flip the switch.

"F-find the others, s-set us free" Fritz calls out through the animatronic voice box. 

You reply, "Aye aye" 

You flip the switch and the animatronic slouches, nothing happens to indicate Fritz's soul is free. In silence you pull the animatronic towards the nearest wall and prop it up. After you stand back to glance at the metal casing, which traps your friends spirit. Cassidy walks up to you and puts her hand on your shoulder. 

"S-so, the others, they are, trapped." 

"Yeah"

"We are going to find a way to set them free, right?" 

"Hopefully"

Your one word answers don't seem to bring much hope to your and Cassidy's minds. However you both leave, in silence. You had said to Cassidy that the next stop would be Music man's disco hall. You are getting close to the so called 'murderer'
