As the nights passed and Marco's visits to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza became a regular occurrence, a tentative truce formed between the human and animatronic inhabitants of the abandoned pizzeria. Marco would spend his evenings exploring the dimly lit halls, seeking solace in the company of the animatronic gang who had once been his friends.

Foxy, ever watchful and protective, would keep a close eye on Marco during his visits, his senses attuned to any sign of danger. If even the slightest hint of harm threatened to befall Marco, Foxy would spring into action, his sharp instincts and agile reflexes ready to defend his newfound friend at all costs.

One night, as Marco and the animatronics gathered in the main hall for their nightly rendezvous, Freddy couldn't help but notice the way Foxy's eyes lingered on Marco, a glimmer of concern and affection shining in their depths.

"Foxy, I'm startin' to think you still have a crush on Marco," Freddy remarked with a playful grin, breaking the silence that had settled over the group.

Foxy's eyes widened in surprise at Freddy's bold statement, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Excuse ye?" he sputtered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Freddy chuckled, his laughter echoing through the room as he nudged Foxy with his elbow. "Eh, duh, even I could see it back then. The way you'd light up whenever Marco was around—it was like watchin' a lovesick puppy."

Foxy's embarrassment only deepened at Freddy's teasing, but a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Despite his initial protestations, he couldn't deny the truth in Freddy's words.

As the night wore on and the laughter of their shared memories filled the air, Marco felt a sense of warmth and belonging settle over him. In the company of his friends—both human and animatronic—he found a refuge from the darkness that had plagued him for so long, a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity.

And as he looked around at the faces of those who had become like family to him, Marco knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, he would face them with courage and determination, with Foxy and the rest of the animatronic gang by his side every step of the way.
