Player finally had regained consciousness, waking up in the red lighted room, the events of what had happened flooding their mind instantly, remembering that they had opened Poppy's case before blacking out. Huggy! Player looked around the room, Huggy Wuggy being nowhere, and neither was Poppy... Player realized they were alone, again.

Not wanting to deal with this place any longer, Player took the red hallway back to where the entrance was, they noticed that a door that was once covered by a bookshelf was now uncovered, ignoring the door, Player continued to the entrance only to find it was blocked, now they had two options, climb over the items blocking the entrance because they were pro climber, no cap, or they could just take the door they found earlier. Before Player could think about their options, they were suddenly lifted off the ground by two blue fluffy arms, it was Huggy!

Player waved at Huggy since you know, they don't have a mouth to speak. Huggy placed Player back down, waving back at them before pointing at the door Player had seen earlier. Player realized that Huggy wanted them to open the door and probably go into the next area. Shrugging their shoulders Player grabbed Huggy's gloved hand, dragging him along with them toward the door, Player opened the door before going inside with Huggy next to them.

On the other side of the door was a hallway with flickering lights that looked like they would fall any second now, Huggy tugged on Player's arm signaling them to continue. Continuing into the hall, Player heard someone whisper, 'This way', they looked up at Huggy to see if he had heard it just to earn a shrug from him. At the end of the Hallway was two hallways on opposite sides with a red door at the center, the hall on the left side being blocked off by one of those gate things, Huggy let go of Player's hand before signaling them to continue on.

Expecting Huggy to wait for them, Player walked into the hallway on the right, in the hallway there was a chunk of the floor missing, looking around for any way past, Player noticed a bar glowing red on the ceiling. Player's eyes shifted in between the bar on the ceiling and their GrabPack before shooting the red hand from their GrabPack onto the bar above, with a leap, they swung themselves onto the other side, they fell onto the floor harshly, but at least they made it to the other side. They noticed blood on the floor and wall, slightly disturbed, Player continued walking.

In front of Player was a Huggy Wuggy cutout with a button, and another gate that was blocked off by wooden boards. Player shot their red GrabPack hand onto the button of the Huggy cutout, a bubbly laugh recording coming from it. Creeped out by it, Player moved away from the cutout, looking around for somewhere else to go before noticing a door covered by some metal containers. Pushing the metal containers away from the door, they opened it to reveal what looked like a storage room, at the opposite end of the room was a red key that looked like a poppy. Player walked over to the key, grabbing it and making their way back to where they expected to see Huggy.

Upon arrival, Huggy was nowhere to be found, upsetting Player a bit, but they hoped to see him later, accepting his disappearance. With the poppy key in hand, they walked up to the door in the center, the door having a plate that read, 'Elliot Ludwig', Player unlocked the door, behind it was a nicely decorated room which looked like an office. On the desk was a VHS tape and a note, taking a look at the note, it was about Experiment 814 which was a rat that was killed then submerged in poppy gel to prove that organisms could be revived with the use of poppy flowers. Once they had attempted to revive the rat, it remained unresponsive. How disturbing... Player thought before looking over at the VHS tape, they decided not to watch it because, who would?

(I'm just lazy to write what the VHS tape says, lol)

Looking around to see if there was anything else, Player noticed a bunch of art of Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, remembering Kissy from when they were younger. Player spotted a human sized vent with hand prints on it, obviously meaning they had to go in it. Player pulled down the vent entrance with their GrabPack before entering.

On the other side was one of those electric conductors, before Player could do anything, a box was pushed down, making Player jump a bit. Behind the box, there was Poppy, the doll they had opened the case for was moving and alive, almost like Huggy. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," The doll can speak!? "I was just trying to get the power back on, here" Player blinked blankly before regaining their composure, they noticed Poppy had moved out the way of the electric thingy, they shot their blue hand up to it before going around the electricity poles and finishing it off. "I wanted to thank you for freeing me, I was stuck in there was so long, thank you. I'd like to pay you back. There is a train station nearby, it needs a code, and I have. We're going to get out of here," Poppy said, disappearing into a vent behind her "As soon as you get on up here, come on" Poppy appeared near a human sized vent, hesitantly, Player grabbed the bar with their red hand, pulling themselves up into the vent they had originally gone through.

Arriving back in the office, Player spotted Poppy in another vent, "Hey, I'm up here! I see you..." Poppy giggled, disturbing Player slightly, "I should be able to follow you through the vents, this way" Player nodded slowly, making their way over to the gate, seeing the hand pad's lights on, they placed their GrabPack hand on, opening the gate and continuing. Another chunk of the floor was missing, requiring Player to swing over to the other side once again, nearly falling into the abyss. Once they reached the other side, Player spotted two doors in the hall which were obviously locked, at the end of the hall was a room with one door, and a vent which wouldn't budge open, so Player opened the door.

There stood Poppy in front of a huge hole, "Listen, Im going to need you to trust me- Wahh!" Poppy was suddenly grabbed by a pink elastic arm, pulling down a screaming Poppy through the hole. Player froze in place, disturbed and confused, all of the other ways were blocked off, they could either go back, or go down the hole. Player was about to turn back around before remembering that Poppy had a way to get out of the factory. With that, Player jumped down.
