Playtime Co. Toy Factory, Pennsylvania.

Clara had the strangest dream. Just as She blacked out in Poppy's room, a commercial featuring Mommy Long Legs played in her head. But it wasn't normal. As the commercial nearly ended, Poppy was commanding her to wake up. She eventually wakes up from her dream and snapped back into reality as Huggy tried desperately to wake her up. He thought his methods had worked, but only if he knew. Clara decides to get up and make her way out of Poppy's room elsewhere.
The cupboard was lifted off from the door to allow Clara and Huggy to traverse deeper into the factory. She walks along a corridor with murals depicting Huggy himself and another popular toy; Kira The Pegasus. As She continues, She heard a feminine voice speaking to her from her right as she came up to a red colored door.
"This way..."
Clara was compelled to follow and obey the commands of whoever it was. Huggy took notice of this almost immediately, as if Clara was brainwashed. The red door leads to the office of the toy factory's founder: Elliot Ludwig. Clara had heard much about Ludwig and his ambition to create toys for many children across the nation, starting with Poppy herself. According to Ludwig, she was the first intelligent doll in the world capable of having a conversation with a child.
A child can talk to Poppy, and she will give them the answers. But more strangely was that, according to the VHS commercial he viewed before entering the factory, her hair smelled like poppy flowers. As many would know, poppy flowers do not have any fragrance unless you happen to come across opium poppies. Still, Poppy's hair had a sweet and floral scent.
"Keep going..."
The voice spoke to Clara again, and She was compelled to obey. There was a gap between the next room and where Clara stood. She notices a yellow handlebar above the ceiling, and She uses the GrabPack to swing across. After a little bit of trial and error, but Clara finally manages to make it across. Once She did, she stopped as she saw a cutout of Huggy in the room. She pressed it with her GrabPack hand, and the cutout begins laughing. She pressed it again afterwards.
"Does someone need a hug?"
She presses again.
"Give me a big squeeze! I promise I won't bite."
And again.
"Come closer, friend."
And then one more time.
"I'll squeeze you until you-"
A loud static noise blared out from the cutout, prompting Clara to stop pressing it. That thing was pretty old anyway. Clara would move into a supply closet to find a large key with a red poppy flower on it. This was the key to Elliot Ludwig's office.
"Hmm... Guess it must be Ludwig's," She commented. "Huggy, mind carrying this for me? I know it's a bit much to ask but... I want to help you, and everyone trapped here. Nobody is beyond redemption and forgiveness."
Huggy never said a word, but he took the key with him. Clara would use the GrabPack again to swing across and made her way back to the office of Elliot Ludwig. Huggy hands over the key and Clara unlocks it. Once She was inside, She was greeted to a wonderful sight in the founder's very office.
Inside, the room is a vintage wooden office with decorative patterns on the carpet, a vintage manager chair in front of a classic wooden table, some leader couches and some drawings of children scattered across the room's walls. The light source for the room is two long fluorescent bars right on top of the main table. The room includes a small open vent leading to a ventilation system, and two other larger vents; one of them being open so Clara may proceed through the dark tunnels ahead.
