" - Hello, [Y/n]. How did your last night go?

- It was intense... I confronted him.

- Who are you talking about?

- William Afton. He is trapped in the attraction with the children.

- Let's talk about this in the bedroom."

You sit down on your bed, facing him as he settles down in a rocking chair.

" - The time has come, [Y/n]. You can ask me anything.

- I have several questions.

- Go ahead.

- First of all, how do you know all of this?

- I was a teenager when all of this happened. I used to be an investigator too.

- What do you mean, uncle?

- I could see them, just like you. 

- This is why you understand me so well and why you didn't reject me like my parents did.

- I believe that even if I hadn't had this ability, I would have accepted you anyway.

- Did the children talk to you?

- They did. This is how I learned most of the story. I was hired as an investigator when I was your age. The mystery flying around Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction is the same one as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza's. Those kids have been trapped in this reality for 30 years.

- Uncle, how can I stop him? How can I stop the man behind the slaughter?

- You can't, not anymore. The only way to set them free is to burn the attraction to the ground. Alas, your shift is over; you won't be able to come back in there as an employee.

- What do you mean?

- They always fire the nightguards after a week.

- How so?

- No one knows. I guess they probably figured out that the workers knew too much about what was going on in the building.

- But my friends are locked in that place!

- They aren't your friends, [Y/n], they are just phantoms, kids who can't be set free.

- What am I supposed to do now?

- Your children will have to find a way to end this.

- I don't want my offspring to be involved in this nightmare.

- If you want to free them, this is the only way."

You sigh.

" - Uncle, do you know what happened to Nancy's family?

- They moved on, [Y/n]. They have completed their mission on earth.

- They did it one by one, is that it?

- Yes.

- Have you heard about what happened to me one day when I was at the swimming pool with my classmates?

- You almost drowned and someone saved you, right?

- Yes. Do you have any idea who that might be?

- Of course, that was my son.

- Your... son?! You don't have any children! 

- I do, it's just that no one knows about it.

- Does he know who I am?

- Yes, he does.

- Where is he now?

- I don't know. You need to find him.

- Why?

- He will guide you towards your next goal.

- My next goal? Am I some kind of programmed machine?

- No, this is not what I meant. In order to set the phantoms free, you'll have to find Aaron and listen to what he has to tell you.

- I have one last question. It seemed like you knew what I was doing during my shift. Were you watching me?

- I was, but you couldn't see me.

- Why?"

He smiles weakly.

"Because I'm one of them, [Y/n]."

His body starts fading away.

"Find my son, [Y/n]. Find Aaron..."
