The Afton family has settled into a new phase of their lives, finding a sense of stability and routine after years of ups and downs. Clara, determined to support her family and contribute more to their finances, has taken a job as a janitor at a local cafe. While the work is hard and sometimes exhausting, Clara takes pride in her job, finding satisfaction in keeping the cafe clean and organized. Her work also gives her a chance to meet new people and become more involved in the community, which she enjoys.
William's business, which centers around his animatronic creations and the family's diner, is running smoothly. The diner has become a popular spot for families, and William's passion for creating innovative animatronics has kept customers coming back. He spends long hours at work but feels fulfilled knowing his efforts have paid off. His partnership with Henry remains strong, and together they continue to expand their business, dreaming of bigger and better attractions.
The children are doing well in this new chapter of their lives. Michael, now a teenager, has become more responsible, taking on some duties at his father's diner while continuing with his schooling. He has matured over the years, developing a stronger bond with his family, even as he navigates the challenges of adolescence.
Chris, although still reserved, is finding his footing. He's doing better in school and has begun to make a few friends, slowly coming out of his shell. His fascination with his father's work has grown, and he often spends time observing William at the diner, captivated by the animatronics.
Elizabeth, the youngest, continues to be the spirited heart of the family. She's now in school, making friends easily with her outgoing personality. Her curiosity about her father's work remains, though Clara and William are careful to keep her at a safe distance from the more dangerous aspects of the business.

"Michael?" I whispered.
Freddy leant into my palm. His lidded eyes had never looked so sad.
