What Was I Doing Again? (William Afton X Reader fanfiction)

Memento Mori

You never were a spacey person. Sure, you would daydream and think of a million scenarios that could happen in the same moment, but never like this. Staring off into nothing as officers tried desperately to get your attention and eventually dragged you into one of the squad cars, driving you to the police station where you sat now. Staring at the empty table and reliving the entire scene, maybe for the twelfth time. It was all you could think of.. Kato's mutilated body... all over the place....
You sat there for what felt like days, unsure of how to process what you'd witnessed. The only thing that snapped you out of it was a calm voice coming from a man sitting in front of you, "Y/N.... do you know where you are?" He asked. You looked up at him numbly, tears still slowly making their way down your face.
The man had a rather soft complexion. A soft pale face with dark forest green eyes and chestnut hair. He looked like he could pass as a K-Pop star if he wore a sweatshirt or something. Instead he was wearing a warm ocean blue sweater with a white undershirt and some khakis.
You looked around the concrete room for a moment, your eyes landing on the mirror in front of you. It was stereotypical in cop shows, you knew that much. You opened your mouth to stay something but your throat felt dry and you couldn't find the strength or will to say anything. You nodded quietly and looked back down at the table.
The man nodded in response. You expected him to pull out a notebook and start scribbling notes, but he made no move to do so. It was just you, him, and whoever was on the other side of that window.
A few more moments passed before he spoke again, keeping his voice quiet and slow, "My name is Doctor Lerin, I'm a psychiatrist." He explained, placing his hands on the table with his fingers intertwined. You still didn't say anything, you felt like you were going to throw up. The room was spinning and you thought you were going to black out again before Lerin's voice drew you back to reality, "Y/N, I know this must be difficult for you-" You cut him off there, "Difficult?" You nearly laughed, you were breaking and you couldn't care less, "This is beyond difficult for me. Have you ever walked into a room and saw your lifelong best friend covering every surface?! Don't you try to sympathize when you don't know what the hell you're talking about." You hissed, glaring at him with a sort of bottled up anger you didn't know you had. But you just.. couldn't get the cap off. That just pissed you off more.
Lerin didn't at all seem affected by your sharp tone. Instead, he took a calming breath and gave you a patient look, "You're right. I'm sorry. I don't know what it's like.. but I know what loss feels like, and I'm trying to sympathize that way." He paused to let the words sink in before continuing, "We are hoping that you can help us to solve your friend's murder so we can let them rest properly."
You looked at the table, your hands resting in you lap, fingers intertwined. Lerin let out a soft sigh, "Y/N.. we need you to talk about this, is there any person that would want to harm Kato?"
You took a second to think about it, shaking your head, "N.... Not like that..." you whispered. Sure lots of people despised Kato and their bright and happy self, but you didn't think that people were actually willing to harm them just to get them to shut up. Lerin nodded in response to your words, getting up slowly from his seat, "I will keep you informed of what I know." He said softly. "You should go home and get some rest. I can have one of the officers drive you home-"
"It's fine. I can walk." You interrupted, getting up and walking out. You still couldn't believe your best friend was gone. Just like that. But you had confidence the killer would be found and brought to justice. Even if it wasn't the police.

It's going to be hard.
