"I think I know why your here." Everyone turns around to face him. "You adapt your voice in different ways. You like the perfect singing partner for any of us." He explains. "But other people can do that too. Why would- oh." I realize why I was here. "What? What is it?" Peter asks. "I'm here because I can easily memorize lyrics. I'm here because I don't miss a beat." I say. The lights go out again, and I feel someone hold my hand. It was a smaller palm, so I think it was a girl. "Adriana?" I murmur as the lights turn back on. "Hey. Look, I-I'm sorry for your loss." She mumbles. I look around. "There's beds, a bookshelf, lamps. It's like one big bedroom. How many beds are there... 16. There's one missing. I can sleep on the floor, you all deserve a well rested night." I say. "You could share with one if the girls. I mean, I wouldn't mind, but Steph might get mad." He says, chuckling. "It's fine. I'll just sleep on the floor. See if any clues show up." I say. "If your sure. At any point during the night, you can get into my bed with me. I do it all the time at hotels when I travel." Adriana says, smiling. "Goodnight everyone. Sleep well." I say. They all get into bed, and the lights turn out. I fiddle around, looking for something useful. "A flashlight. Good." I mumble, picking it up, and carefully turn it on. "Caught in a web of lies. You know the rules, but here's a twist. You, instead of Adri, will play Elizabeth, and to make this easier on you, you don't have to do the first scene with the lawyer. Have fun!" I look around, and no one woke up. "I'm in your head. I'm not that rude." I shake my head in hopes I'll stop hearing voices. "This'll be a challenge. I haven't seen the musical, because I was going to watch it when I woke up. Matt will be Phone Guy, for obvious reasons. It's Five Nights, so we'll need the animatronics. I guess Elizabeth Afton is a character. Hmm. I don't know!" I whisper, careful not to wake anyone. I feel something get placed on my head and over my ears. I feel it, and realize their headphones. "I'm trusting you with your phone. Your going to be aloud to watch Web of Lies as many times as you need. If you call someone, your dead." I hear in my ears. I feel my phone in my pocket, open up YouTube, and search Web of Lies. "We recreating the whole if this? Well, let's  get to work." I say, starting the video.

I hum the tune after a while, and see a lamp turn on. I quickly shut off my phone. I realize that the one who woke up was none other that Adri herself. "That's good. She can help me. Adri! Adri!" I whisper-shout. She looks around, and I turn on my flashlight. "YN! Wait, why are there headphones around your neck?" She whispers, kneeling down. "Long story short, I watched Web of Lies a whole bunch for our next challenge. It's like the Cuphead King Dice ordeal this morning. Thing is, the main character in these have to be me for whatever reason, and I'm a horrible actor." I whisper. "You were great this morning." She reasons. "Because I didn't have to do much. Nathan had to do most of it. Now I'm the main character. I was hoping you could help? I mean, if you want to. I'm not going to force you-" Adri covers my mouth. "I'll help you. Now, I'll wake up Matt. You wake up AJ. He'll help us with Glitchtrap. We'll have to be a bit quiet." She says. I quietly run to AJ's bed, and shove him gently. "Five more minutes..." He groans. "If you want out of here, you need to get up. And stay quiet, only four of us, including you, are awake." I whisper. He gets up and I point the flashlight and Adri, who is having trouble waking up Matt. I rush over with AJ. "He won't wake up. Can you try something YN?" Adri says worriedly. I go up to him, and clear my throat. "Why, this is a crime scene, and your the victims." I whisper in his ear. He bolts up and I cover his mouth. "There's only four if us awake. You have to be quiet. Okay?" I whisper. I feel him nod, and I slowly take my hand off his mouth. "Listen. For our next challenge, it's Web of Lies. Except..." I trail off, scratching the back of my neck. "YN needs to play Elizabeth. AJ's with us, and YN memorized Web of Lies. All we need... Is the set." She says, finishing my sentence. The lamps go out, and being startled, Adri screams. I quickly cover her mouth. The lights turn in fully, and everyone wakes up. "Gah! Wait... AJ? Adri, Matt, YN? What are you doing awake?" Dodger asks. "Preparing for our next Musical challenge. Wanna guess?" I say. "Web of Lies?" Midnight asks. "How'd you know?" I ask. "YN, look at yourself, then look at Matt." Adri directs. I look down, see short sleeves, and hide my arms, bring them close to my chest. I look over at Matt. "Working late boss?" I ask. "Not for to much longer." He responds, smiling. I feel someone grab my wrists, and forcefully pull them down. I wince as he touches my bruises from being beat up by strangers. "That's what I thought. You hide everything about you. What else are you hiding?!" Nathan says. "Nothing! I swear! Listen, I have a feeling we're going to split up at one point. We need some kind of password." I say, addressing everyone. "What should it be?" Mark asks. "Access Denied?" I ask, then point to Adri. "Yes, Override!" She says, smiling. The room changes, and I see three sets. "We have the office, the file room, and the interview room. Is anyone in a mask?" I ask. "Look behind you." Adri says. I do so. "Alright. Genderbend Glitchtrap. I'm fine with that. Matt and I will do the first scene. Everyone else, stay quiet." I say. I wait silently outside the door, waiting you Dodger to give me the signal. (Italics is everyone else, underlined italics is you) "Ugh! Every inch of this place is incriminating! Ten minutes if poking around this place and they'll discover what I did to those kids." I hear Matt scream. "Unless, of course, they discover what you did to those kids. Wild, free roaming, animatronics are dangerous after all. Which one?! That's perfect! Foxy... Foxy the Ferocious. The defective animatronic that caused the bite of 87'. Sorry Foxy, you and I have a date with health and safety." I hear rattling, and look over at Dodger. He gives me the signal and I walk in. We both hum a greeting. "Uh, working late boss?" I ask. "Not for to much longer. Make sure you get those new servers installed for me." Matt responds. "Already done. I'm just backing up your old files." I respond, sitting in the chair. "Backing up? What do you mean backing up?" He asks. "Uh... L-like, making sure everything's copied over." I stutter. "I DON'T THEM COPIED OVER!!! I want them all wiped clean..." He says, coming toward me. I back up in my chair. "Like, irrecoverably?" I ask, a bite nervous as he comes closer to my face. "Like burned to ash. I'm out for the night. *Pok* Get it done." He says, clicking his tongue and booping my nose. He walks out, and I quickly walk over to the files room set, sit on the ground, and fiddle with the wiring stuff on the ground. I get the signal to start singing, so I do.

"One year has passed since things began to change
And the Fazbear brand was cursed...
The deaths were all mysterious and strange
Still I bought it all at first

They denied...
A string of violent homicides...
No matter what I've tried
I've always been
Caught within
a web of lies..."

I await for my next signal, glancing at AJ every moment or so. When I finally get it, I continue.

"This strange hidden file fell into my lap...
I need to uncover the truth!
Access denied?
Yes override
Did I just goof?"

I wait a few moment, then get the signal to begin again.

"Abort! Escape! Stop trying to install! Forty million kilobytes!

Something's wrong...
This AI's gotten far too strong...
You've used me all along
To set you free
Now I see
Your web of lies..."

I back up from Adri. "Ah! It's Elizabeth isn't it?" She asks. "W-what are you?!" I ask, backing up. "I'm a hidden file. Or am I? I guess none of us here are as quite as we seem. Take you for example," she says, coming closer to me as she keeps talking. Eventually I get cornered. "A hard work Fazbear employee secretly investigating the death if her brother Micheal." I glance to the side, and see the poorly hand made robot things. "Or you uncle. An upstanding business manager, using his restaurant as cover to murder kids in his spare time. What a web of lies we've created." She says. "Get away from me!" I say, weilding a pair of pliers. "Hey, hey, hey, chill out! You freed me! You deserve a reward! How about a haircut?" She asks as the handmade robots hold me against my will. I use my foot to grab a broom, knock them down, then hide in a nearby closet. "Elizabeth! Don't you want to see Mikey?" Adri asks.

"The doors are locked. The restaurant is mine!
I'm in your reality!
So run and hide! Cause here's the bottom line:
Your all trapped in here with me!"

I slowly try and get up to the window in the closet, forcing myself not to slip.

"Go on! Shout!
No one will ever let you out!
And lest's there's any doubt
All hope has died
Trapped inside
My web of lies!"

I hear AJ call cut, and I run out. Matt hugs me. "Matt! Oh my gosh you can be so scary when you yell!" I say as he lifts me up. "Sorry! Had too. Your a pretty good actress. Maybe AJ should hire you for some musicals." Matt says. I smile at his words. "Does anyone smell that?" Dodger asks. I take a deep breath. I smirk. "Food."
