As they turn around, Yukari gives a small squeak in fright. And runs back to hide behind Miho. Hana calmly puts her hand in front of her friends to protect them for whatever comes next. "Stay back, I'll take care of this." Hana whispers to her friends

Hana pulls her wirecutter out of her pocket and holds it up towards the animatronic. "Hold on, what are you children doing in my room?" Freddy calmly asks them.

Saori begins to cower back, fearing what is to come next. Mako begins to open the curtain, but Freddy stops her.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. My... friends are not themselves right now. I can sense it." Freddy says to Mako. She stops opening the curtain and looks at the bear. Hana looks suspiciously at the robot.

"What do you mean, not themselves."

"Well they normally don't make kids like you scream and run." Freddy comments, still looking at the group. Hana scoffs.

"I don't buy that explanation. Maybe you would like to express yourself before we bolt out of here. Plus we aren't kids, we're almost adults now" Hana says, still looking directly into the animatronics eyes

"In case you haven't noticed you are in the Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex. We are animatronics used to entertain children. If I was like the... others, You'd probably be dead, or really injured right now. Does that convince you?" Freddy asks them

Hana puts down her hand and signals for her friends to calm down. Yukari comes out of hiding, but very cautiously. Saori doesn't budge, but Mako walks in front of her and towards the robot. As she reaches closer to the robot, she looks up at it.

"I believe you." Mako says. Saori behind her gives a small gasp. Yukari grabs Miho, and squeezes tightly on her shoulder.

"Good to hear. Take this fazbear watch. You can use this to contact me if you need me, and I will be over there as soon as I possibly can. Now I will go out and direct them somewhere else so you can get out. Just remember that at 6:00 am the doors will open and you are free." And with that Freddy slowly clambers out of his room, and guides the animatronics the other direction. But just before he leaves, he points to a small button on the corner.

Mako presses it, and the door opens, leading to the back rooms. Mako takes off, and her group of friends follow in suit. They turn the corner and hop on a bunch of boxes, and crawl through the small vent.

"Go faster!" Saori whispers to Mako, "I can't see anything, you're in my way!" Mako rolls her eyes, and continues to crawl forward, as they pass a vent, Hana looks in. She hold up her hand to tell everyone to stop.

"It's that wolf animatronic. She's back in her spot. It seems Freddy managed to drive them away." Mako gives a small exhale. "That wolf is also pretty narcissistic if you ask me."

"So you're telling me that the only not buggy suspicious thing in the whole damn pizzaria is the Teddy Bear?" Saori asks

"Well that means the spirit of Boko is with us!" Miho says jokingly, trying to lighten up the mood. The five keep crawling through, until they find the end of the vent. Mako hops out silently. Saori jumps, with a loud thump as she hits the ground.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Mako turns around, and shushes her. Hana puts up her fingers to her mouth to tell them to be silent. "We can't be caught doing this! Look!" Mako points over to security bots rolling around with flashlights

"We can't afford to be caught! If we do, we're done for it

"Sorry, these shoes aren't made to do that stuff." Saori whispers back to Mako as Hana falls gracefully next to her.

"Just take off your shoes, I'll buy you new ones when we get out. Hana says, and then starts to move forward, signaling everyone to follow her. Saori huffs, and exhales slowly, but reluctantly takes them off, and leaves them in the lost and found bin, conveniently next to her.

"Oh the irony." Saori mutters to herself, and then takes off to follow her friends. As they begin to run down the hall, there's a massive gate. Mako runs to it, and the gate automatically starts to move up. As Mako slides through, everyone else takes a quick break to catch their breath

"Hey, there's a small cute box over there!" Saori points out. Hana walks over, and notices it's like a jack in the box. She begins to crank the present's handle, and it opens up to a free photo pass.

"What will we do with this? It's just a photo pass! What are we gonna do? Take a photo before death?" Saori says starting to get angry. Hana puts her hand on Saori's shoulder.

"It's ok, Saori. I bet it will be useful, It has too. Otherwise it wouldn't be convenient... here." Hana's voice begins to ward off. "Ok it doesn't matter, let's go. Freddy's probably waiting."

"I can't believe you trust that thing." Saori says

Not knowing what to do with it, they head over to a door. Miho opens it and standing there is freddy.

"Great! You found the photo pass. Hop into my chest cavity, and I will take one of you guys with me towards the lobby." Freddy says to the group. Hana looks at everyone and backs away

"I'm too tall to fit in there. It's up to you guys to find out who's gonna do that, cause I'm not." Hana says. She looks at her friends. Mako walks forward, crawls into the space, and silently looks at her friends before the hatch closes.

Saori waves to Mako just as the hatch closes, and her friend disappears. Yukari looks in wonder and awe. Miho looks solemnly at the robot.
