When Saphira returned to the mansion after her first shift, she was glad that her mother and father were not there to greet her. She wanted to be alone when she got home, and locked her bedroom door once she returned to her room. Everything from the previous night was just racing through her mind. Everything that she was thinking about even made it hard for her to focus on driving, which was not a good thing, but it really was hard to not think about it. Especially as everything she had thought about the animatronics in the past might be wrong. But Saphira did not know if the animatronics were evil inherently, because Saphira knew that the animatronics were made by a human. So it wouldn't be right to blame them. But that didn't mean she was not fearful of her next shift.

She stood in the shower of her ensuite for a couple hours before her weariness finally got the better of her and Saphira would go to bed. Even though she was tired from her first shift, Saphira was restless as she tried to get the rest she needed for her next shift. But she was somehow able to get the sleep she needed, because she felt okay when she woke up a couple hours before her next shift. Tonight, she wouldn't need to be there early, since her shifts now start at nine.

When she began to get herself ready for the night, Saphira noticed her parents and sister were not in the house. She had expected her parents to say more stuff to her about her job, but they were avoiding her again, and she was fine with that. She made herself some sandwiches, as the sandwiches she made for her previous shift were not good to eat anymore, so she had to make new ones. She hoped she could get to eat these ones tonight, but that would remain to be seen. Especially as Saphira was still shaken by what she had seen on her first shift.

Once she was ready and wearing her uniform, Saphira held the necklace in her hand and stared at the pendent. She knew in her heart that Springtrap likely would remember her, given what she has seen. But since Springtrap did not actually see her on her first shift, he would not know what she looked like. So she was not sure if they would see each other at all properly this week. But Saphira did want to. Despite her fear, she was extremely curious about the animatronics.

Putting the necklace on like she had the night before, Saphira hid the pendent under her shirt and grabbed her jacket to take with her before making her way out of the mansion to her car. She had quite a lot of questions that she wanted to ask Mike tonight about the animatronics, and she hoped she would get some answers from him. But she did wonder if he would even be allowed to tell anyone, given he was the manager. That would depend on the boss, and what rules he had to follow from the owner of the restaurant. Though given the fact the animatronics might be living beings, it made sense that Mike could be restrained from saying anything, because it is the person who made the animatronics would be making the rules. So Saphira knew she would need to be careful when asking questions.

Saphira made sure she had everything with her once she was in her car before she drove away from the mansion. She kept her mind as calm as possible when driving through the city to the attraction. It was hard to jot be calm, but she did her best. Especially as returning to the pizzeria tonight had a very different feeling than it should be. She wasn't excited like she was the day before. The nostalgia she felt about returning to the pizzeria was long gone as well. The new knowledge she had has really completely turned what she knew about the pizzeria on its head.

She soon saw the neon lit sign of the pizzeria by the entrance of the car lot, and Saphira shivered upon seeing the entrance. She felt goose bumps over her body, and she took a deep breath before she even reached the entrance itself to turn into the parking lot to begin searching for a place to park her car. She couldn't believe how the previous shift had affected her so much already, but she never expected to go to her job to hear a person being killed and seeing part of the bloody aftermath. No one expects that.
