The nets of the play structures were sturdy, but they felt like hammocks. You sat down in them and patted the spot next to you. 
"Sit down. Let's talk."

He sat down next to you. The look on his face was filled with hesitation.

"So? Will you tell me what's going on?"

"Well.."
He held his own hand again and looked away. 

"Come on. I want to know how I can help. We can think of something together, and make a plan. Don't you want to get better? And Sun? Is he broken..? Don't you want him to be fixed?"

His head instantly turned back to you and he looked angry. 
"He's not..!" He calmed down again.
"He's not broken. He's just..  Uhm.."

"I'm sorry, but if you don't tell me what's up with him, I can't help but think he's broken you know?"

"Right.. sorry. He's just.. He used to be with the kids all the time. He was never alone, except at night, and back then, we weren't okay. He was scared of me, and I was scared of him. So when the lights turned off and I came back, he spent the whole night scared and alone. I was.. I had some corruption in my system, and I was shut down. There was no more nap time because I was a danger to the kids, but I was still in there. We share this body. They couldn't get rid of me, because they still needed Sun, but that meant I was alone all the time. No one talked to me, I never had the kids.. I got used to it eventually. Then you came. You brought me back, and you let us have peace with each other. We weren't exactly friends at first.. but we got along eventually. Because of you, he didn't have to be afraid anymore. He didn't have to fight my presence, and he loved you. You made him.. us, happy. I was no longer scared either, and you kept me company all the time. I didn't feel alone anymore.. but then.. the accident.."
He stayed quiet for a moment and looked down at his hands. Then he brought them up to his chest, as if he was hugging them.

"The pizzaplex closed. There were no kids anymore. We waited for you, hoping you'd be okay and come back for us, but then we found out that you.. died. You were gone. and I was alone again. It hurt, of course, it hurt a lot. But Sunny.. He'd never been alone before. He'd always have the kids, or you, and the only time he remembered being alone were the times he was scared.. of me. First, we stuck to the times you gave us. At nighttime, I got to come out, and at daytime, he did. At first he tried to clean the mess, but then.. well./ the clocks stopped working. We didn't have times to follow anymore, and all he did when he was out was just.. lay around. He didn't move, he didn't talk to me, he didn't even go to our room anymore. The only thing he could do was cry. I tried to talk to him, but he couldn't answer me. He was lost. I lost things one by one you know? I had time, but he.. He lost everything at once and he couldn't deal with it. Eventually we both realized that we only had each other, but we couldn't see each other. So we became Eclipse. It felt better to be one, even just in the slightest, but it didn't take long for him to fade away. I tried to give him back his time to be out alone but it didn't change anything. He basically gave up all control and he's just.. hanging on somewhere in our body. I'm.. I think I'm hurting him by staying Eclipse. I'm so sorry Sunny.. I can't let you go."
You could feel his heartache as you looked at his face. He must've felt so guilty about keeping him here, forcing him to stay, but he probably didn't want to be alone either.
You could see his right hand tighten around his left, and as a tear slipped down his face, he showed a little smile too.

"He can see everything, but he just wanted to stop his pain. He was hoping that.. if he'd stay still long enough, and shut off his mind, he'd shut down eventually. I.. I couldn't accept that. I know this form requires us both, and I'm holding onto him for that, but I'm scared that.. If I let go.. He disappears. You both have to know, I'm also scared. I'm really, really scared to be alone.. so I'm sorry for being selfish Sunny, but I need you. I can't be alone.. I'm sorry I'm causing you pain. I really don't want to hurt you.."

You stayed silent for a moment, letting him process it. 
"I'm sorry you had to be scared, and felt alone all this time.. I promise that when I get out of here, I won't leave you behind."

He nodded and smiled at you, as if he wanted to thank you for that idea.
"Why is it that he can't come out though? Does it hurt him?"

"I.. I was hoping that.. if he'd get enough rest, and only come out when he felt like it, he'd maybe get better.. over time.. since you came back, I felt his hope, for the first time in years, I could feel that he had hope to be happy again. He's been active. He's been here, listening to you, and looking at you. He even came out to show himself.. He hasn't done that in all those years! But he's tired. He's tired of the pain and the fear and everything's eating at him, and his energy is just.. gone. He can't stay out for long, and that's why I got mad every time.. I'm sorry, I was just.. scared that he'd disappear if he used all his energy."

You felt really bad for them. Moon had tried to take care of him all those years, but Sun was just so lost in his pain that he gave up. It must've been killing them both. And the constant fear and pressure Moon must've been living in, afraid to lose the only one he still cared about. He couldn't lose him, and all this time he's felt guilty about keeping him here too.
"So.. How does this form work..? Do you control one side and him the other?"

"We're meant to fuse. Our personalities should become one and.. controlling our body should be just as natural as when it's only one of us, but since he had no energy.. well, we are defective now. Our minds can't fuse because he's so absent. So basically, I'm in control, but he can still see and hear everything. It's true that our physical form in kind of divided now though. Sun can physically feel everything on our right side, and I can on our left. I can move everything, but I can barely feel his side."

"Is that why you've been holding your.. his hand? So he can feel you?"

"... Yeah.. I.. want him to know that I'm here."

You let out a slow sigh. It sounded like Sun was depressed, and after all this time, it had affected their physical form. 
It was very sad to hear, and you desperately wanted to help them, but how were you going to help a depressed animatronic..? And Moon.. He needed to feel safe. He needed to trust that everything would be okay, that he wasn't alone and that you would now be there to share his fears with. He didn't have to carry Sun with him on his own anymore. You'd be there to help him. He also really needed his rest. 
You sat up and faced him.

"Thank you for telling me. You're not alone anymore, Sun, Moon.. I'll definitely help you, and I promise that we'll make it better together. But I'm gonna need you both to stay with me, and try to make this work, okay? I don't need much, and Sun, Don't worry too much, I've got it. So please just trust me that you'll both be happy again, and promise me you'll both stay to see the end of it."

You saw Sun's eye light up, and they nodded. 

You smiled at them.
"So now, as for your idea to start over.."
You held out both of your hands, offering them to hold them which they did.

"I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you."
