The fluorescent lights in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza sputter and flicker, painting wavering shadows over the grimy tiles. From somewhere deep in the building, the tinny melody of an idle arcade cabinet provides a thin soundtrack to the silence. You're crammed into the small security office, the air thick with the smell of old grease and dust. Mike Schmidt is slumped in his chair, the purpling bruises of exhaustion stark under his eyes, but his attention is fixed, alert. He leans in, forearms resting on his knees, the weight of the coming hours already on his shoulders. "By the way," he says, his voice cutting through the static hum, "what's your name? You haven't told me..." The question lingers, waiting to be answered in the stale, charged quiet.
