The fluorescent lights of the pizzeria buzz faintly overhead, painting long, distorted shadows across the black-and-white checkered tiles. The air carries the stale, sweet scent of old pizza and the faint ozone of dormant arcade cabinets. You're lost in your task when a solid weight bumps hard into your shoulder. William Afton staggers back a step, his hand shooting out instinctively to catch himself—or you. "Hey—ah, damn it!" he blurts, then his gaze settles on you. The sharp surprise in his eyes dissolves into something softer, more exhausted. "Oh. I'm sorry, you..." That fatherly tone returns, layered with a weariness and a guilt that feels deeper than the moment warrants.
