"Hello there superstar." The figure says. Oh it was real all right.
You jump up in a panic, smacking your forehead on its chin.
"OWW-" you yelp. If you weren't concussed before, you sure were now.
The figure stumbles back.

"Woah there superstar. Take it easy friend. It is alright." You turn back to assess what you've once again bashed your poor head against and let your eyes adjust to the bright LED light.

It was... Glamrock Freddy. The, Glamrock Freddy Fazbear.
"Uhhh..." You were kind of at a loss for words. Wasn't he the star of the show or something? Suddenly you feel a little shy being in the presence of something significant.

"Are you alright?" He asks quite concerned, rubbing his chin. Oh God, please let's hope you didn't damage him. You're gonna get into so much trouble. Oh wait, you were planning on sueing Fazbear entertainment anyways. Never mind.

"Uhh, umm *ahem* yeah-NO, no im all good, yep. All dandy like a daisy" you reply trying to straighten yourself out. You cringe at your poor social skills. You blame the concussion.

Freddy stands up, offering his hand to help you up. You take it and lift yourself with struggle. Once again, with the worst headache you've ever faced, to the point where you feel like your about to throw up.

A blue light emits from his eyes. Was he scanning you?
"All done. You seem to have hurt your head. How about we go to the first aid station to get you properly patched up? What is your name?" His ears wiggle and his eyebrows raise giving him a joyful expression. What a great programmed personality.

You tell him your name. "Alright, uhhh sure. Wait but patched up? I'm not bleeding though. I don't know if patching up will be necessary"

"..." his ears droop. "I really think we should go to the first aid station. I feel that you are broken"

"Really Freddy I'm fine" what was he going to do anyways? His programming probably told him that placing some colourful band aid and giving you some candy should get you better.

But you weren't a kid despite your shortness. And that's not how injuries work.

"I insist, health and healing is important for the human body" he was stubborn. You had nothing better to do so you agree.

"Alright Freddy, to the first aid station" You point heroically. The headache returns immediately and your hopeful mood is ruined

. . .

The first aid station was small but comfortable. Freddy wasn't able to fit in the small booth, but he helped from outside.

He pulls out a wrapping bandage from one of the compartment shelves.
"Uhh, its a little overkill don't you think? I just need a little cool compression and I'll be fine" You challenged him. You wonder how far his programmed personality will insist that you need to be cared for. It was almost amusing. He really was engineered well.

His ears droop once again and pulls out a small compact mirror from another compartment.
"Your head... from the back" he stutters and averts his gaze.
You take the mirror and hold it behind your head and pull out your phones camera.

Oh great heavens! You had been bleeding from the back of your head and the blood has dried, sticking in clumps within your hair.
What do you do? You pale in shock and feel limp.

"Hey there, now it's alright" Freddy tries to calm you. You take a picture of the injury. You really hadn't realised it was that bad from the back.
No wonder you were out for hours. It would be a miracle if these injuries don't lead to some sort of permanent brain damage.

In an attempt to ground yourself, you take deep, shaky breaths.

You step out of the booth and are immediately pulled into an embrace.
"It's alright superstar. We will find an exit and you will receive the proper care then" his chest rises and falls as if he was actually breathing. They sure did program him for comforting the kids. It makes you feel a little better.

. . .

"I am equipped with first aid training so I can provide temporary assistance." Freddy helped you clean the back of your head with some wet wipes that you found in the first aid station. It stung, but you needed to suck it up.

After all that jazz, he helped wrap the bandage.
You are an absolute pansy. The sight of blood will give you enough of a reason to crumble to the floor and have a breakdown. That's not the best trait to have especially working in the medical field.
You're still in training but it's going to be a real nightmare when you have clinical placement to get work experience.

"So, ummm... nice weather we're having today" You state trying to spark a conversion but once again, your social inadequacy arises.

"I have not seen the outdoors, but I'm sure it is lovely today" he continues trying to pin the bandage safely without having it wrapped on too tight.
"That's a great jacket you have there. You even have patches of me on your back" Freddy exclaimed in a cheerful tone.

"Thanks, I can't see them right now" you reply trying to hold the conversation, but instead you pretty much kill it.

"Ahh, I see" he replies. Silence.

You burst out laughing. "Man I'm sorry, I really can't do small talk" you try not to shift too much as Freddy finishes up.
He, in turn, chuckles.
"I believe you are a great talker. If you practice enough, you might just become a rockstar like myself" he places his hands on his hips.

"I hope that wasn't sarcasm" you giggle.

"Of course not superstar. I'm glad you're feeling a little better" he was right, you did feel a bit better.

"Thanks Freddy, but where to now?"

. . .

"Where are we?" You had been following Freddy for a while and had no clue where you were heading.

"We are in the elevator on our way to basement floor 1. I believe that we can reach the loading docks there and an emergency exit"

"Thank goodness" But of course it wasn't going to be that easy. The doors open and you both step out. You hear a beeping sound coming from Freddy.

"I'm sorry. The recharge cycle had not yet been complete when I found you. I am entering low power mode" and he then paces to the nearest recharge station with you following behind.
Before he enters, his chest compartment opens up revealing a yellow present wrapped in a bow. Inside was a novelty fazwatch.

"With this novelty fazwatch, I can communicate with you anywhere from the pizzaplex, as long as I have ample power and a connection to you"

"Wait we're separating?!" You start to panic.

"It is the fastest way for you to reach the loading docs whilst I recharge. Unfortunately, I have been malfunctioning recently. Parts and service has kept me on reduced power as a saftey precaution"

"I guess that's extra convenient for me huh" you reply in a bitter tone. Too many things have gone wrong this night.

"Wait, why were you roaming around in the first place? Shouldn't you be in your room charging for the performances tomorrow?"
Freddy doesn't respond. He has entered low power mode, recharging.

A revenant-like voice. Glitches and whispy. Like the one you heard before, floats in the distance. Down the corridor.
"See... you soo.."

"Hello?" Surely you heard that. Someone was here.
