Analysis of The Real Jake (SPOILERS)

I can't decide whether to make this post a stream-of-consciousness style or group it into evidence for x... but since it's easier, I'll just write my thoughts as I go. Although a lot of this is factual ties to, say, FNAF 4, things like relating Margie to Henry are just my own headcanon and you can do with that what you will AKA don't take this all too seriously, but have fun with it. There’s also specific notes about Michael Afton, for those that just want to know what was said regarding him (presumably).

Before I start, please note I've had three hours of sleep in the last... 28 hours? IDK I can't math, especially not on this little sleep. So, there may be errors. I tried to make a note on things I was unsure about, too.

Note: I wrote this before the Evan=CC theory was all but confirmed. Although I believe this theory from the logbook, I think a lot of these notes are still valid.

Read my notes under the cut:

Margie shares similar physical appearance to Henry: Pg 84 “The window fan blew a lock of her shoulder-length brown hair across her upper lip so it looked like she had a mustache.”

“Mrs. Afton” stand in is mentioned: Pg 86 “...it had been four years since his Mom had died...” (Jake is 9 in the story)

I notice when Scott mentions plaid. Pg 87 “...a green-and-blue plaid plush chair...” I mostly wanted to note this since canonically, Henry had a green plaid shirt.

“William” stand in is mentioned. Pg 89 “And you know he thinks about you [Jake] all the time?” “So, he has to concentrate on what he's doing... ...I don't want him thinking about me and end up shooting himself in the foot or something.” Pg 102 “Yeah, I did. [I spilled some chocolate ice cream] Right on my shirt!” Pg 122 “I did that today! [While playing a DDR like game, breaking a shoelace.]” (Admittedly, I only counted these because I headcanon William is much more of a bumbling fool than he appears. It comes up very often as you can see... although you could write it off as Evan just trying to relate to his kid.)

“William” stand in is mentioned. Pg 92 “...Margie was pretty sure Evan couldn't afford to replace a washer and dryer” and “...Evan, at his rank, could barely afford her” Pg 110 “Gillian's house shared stlying with Evan's, but hers was probably four times bigger.” (Again, I headcanon William and his family is on the low end of middle class, if not lower, in terms of income. Particularly, the house is cramped.)

“Mrs. Afton” stand in is mentioned. Pg 93 “First, Jake's Mom was killed.” Pg 139 “The mom's dead.” (You could infer that she died via something akin to a car crash in the context of the story, however if you reflect it to the games given the commonalities, I like to think of this as confirmation that William murdered her, given the word 'killed' is used.)

Margie records herself on her cell phone. Pg 93 (and on other pages) (Again referencing my headcanon for Henry, in which he records ideas/diaries often. At minimum, Henry is referred to as “Cassette Man” in PizzaSim so... I just thought it could make for an interesting comparison.)

Jake mentions his “friends”. Pg 99 “Patty and Davey... Vic... and the twins... Ellie and Evie... Kyle, Clay, and Garrett” (Also, he isn't mentioned until later, but there's his best friend Brandon, too. I noted these in reference to CC talking about his 'friends', either IRL or the plushies. I assume his IRL friends are the MCI victims. The number doesn't add up though. I really, really wanted to make a connection about the twins, considering Charlie and Sammy are twins, but there wasn't enough evidence to write it off as anything other than a coincidence. Also... Clay, really? We need another double name in this series? Ugh.)

What's your favorite flavor? Chocolate Pg. 102 “What flavor did you get?” “Chocolate. Duh.” (This is a stretch, but it did remind me of Help Wanted's final level in the main game, where you're asked to choose your favorite cake flavor. Although, they're discussing ice cream here.)

Maybe some insight into William's personality? Pg. 103 “You ever do that, Evan?” “What?” “Let off steam.” “Me? No. Steam is pretty much what keeps me going.” (Just more evidence that William is obsessed with his work. You could imply “steam” implies he runs like a machine, but that's stretching a bit.)

Pg. 113 -118 (Jake climbs out of his window to run off to play at the arcade with his friend. Obvious parallel to the child in Midnight Motorist, although it's daytime and no animatronics/fursuits luring him.) There is this, on Pg 121 also. Jake says, “We played all the racing games. I love racing games.”

PURPLE Pg 121 “...did you get a slushie at the arcade? I got one. I got grape. It turned my tongue purple.” “My tongue's purple, too!” “Purple power!” (Uh, do I really need to explain this? I should note that Evan is the one mentioning “grape”. I guess William likes grape flavor and purple.)

'Michael' is mentioned. Sort of a stand in for Michael Afton, but it should be noted that Michael and Evan are brothers in this universe. Pg 126, 127 “Michael...lived in Europe for a few years...” “Michael's a serious dude. He's, well, a little different. He's intense about making money...the way he is about it... can make him seem like he's not human.” “So, he's like a cyborg with bad programming?” Michael has some dialogue: “You must excersize caution. You could get chocolate on my suit, and that would be bad. Very, very bad.” (The very very bad thing is a running joke in the family, which is why this comes up. I don't have a lot to say about it, though. I think Michael [Afton] being obsessed with money seems a bit counter intuitive to how we know him, but who knows? I also want to note that Evan doesn't seem antagonistic towards Michael; in fact, he “hate[s] to ask him for favors”.)

Also, Pg 141 “His [Michael's] flat, gruff voice was unmistakable.” Michael is also the first one to hear his father is dead and informs Margie about it. “I have been notified that Evan's dead.” Pg 142 “She had only met Michael the one time, and she knew the way he processed the world was very different from what was “normal”” Michael also states to Margie: “I've got Evan's will... you're Jake's guardian and he left you the house and some savings. I'm the executor.” Margie also says: “He[Michael]'s a numbers genius, manages money for the wealthy people and has made a killing doing it.” “He's not a bad guy. He just doesn't know how to connect. He doesn't feel the way we do.” (Just more Michael characterization.)

Direct FNAF 4 easter egg references: Pg 128 “...the IV stand lurking in the corner of the room” Pg 129 “...and the line of perscription medication bottles marching across the top of the chest of drawers”

Margie is more than a nanny and possibly in love with Evan: Pg. 139 “She'd come to love Evan, too... like a brother.” Pg 140 “...she was included in the outings, movie nights, game nights, and storytelling time...” Pg 149 “...she wanted Evan to be more than just a boss, and being in his room when he was gone made her feel like a lovelorn stalker.” “Love him like a brother... She snorted. Boy, had she been lying to herself.” Pg 158 “What she was feeling called for a screaming fit or a total mental breakdown.” (Yeah, this is just me reading too much into this for Willry content, haha... But still. I am determined that Margie is a Henry stand-in.)

'I will put you back together' Pg 140 “I'm trying to bring you home whole.” (Evan is discussing “no man left behind” with his son, Jake. I think this is obvious.)

William's home office? Pg. 149 “When he was home, she'd go in and vacuum or put away laundry... ...when he was gone...coming in here felt like an invasion of privacy.” “Evan's room would be her room.” “...I'd feel like I was sleeping in your bed, she thought.” “...the room felt discretely masculine.” “The walls were covered in family photos.” “The shelves were stuffed with fiction... mysteries to classics, nonfiction... how-to books...from rebuilding a car engine to planting a garden.”

FNAF 4 reference. Pg 152 “Outside, a dog barked.” (You can hear a dog barking as ambient noise during nights when playing FNAF 4.)

Other notes:

It happens a lot, but one of the main things in the book is the doll Simon and how Jake talks to it. This is very blatantly a reference to the Golden Freddy Plush (“Psychic Friend Fredbear”). The story confirms it's Jake's father, Evan, talking through it. Although it makes the one scene in FNAF 4 a little wonky (the only scene where we see Purple Guy), I think it's pretty much confirmed that it's William talking to CC now. Obviously, we already suspected this due to Sister Location's “Secret Room”. In this story, Evan says he did it because he wanted to give Jake some hope he would live. Combined with both the IV/medicine bottle easter eggs (in the story and FNAF 4) I think it's plausible to assume that CC was taken home after the Bite of '83 for a period of time before he passed away. I will admit, also, that Evan definetly comes off as a very caring father (in comparison to how we presume William is based on what we've seen of him as a person; although I argued this before on this blog, I don't think William hates his kids. I think he's neglectful, moreso as the story goes on. I think he resents Michael for many reasons but I won't go into that here. I just don't think he's the abusive monster the fanbase interprets him to be—at least not early on.)

The cabinet reminds me a lot of the closets in the novel series. A built in shelf with a doll in it. A doll that represents a child. Considering Margie tends to this doll (see Pg. 130-135), I have to draw more parallels between her and Henry.

The fan is mentioned A LOT. I don't really know why, but I guess we can't help but think of every single FNAF office when it's brought up. Specifically, on Pg. 106, Margie mentions the fan in her room is as loud as a jet engine and the sound made her nervous. Once again, I'm reminded of PizzaSim. Seriously, screw you fan.

The heat is mentioned a lot, too. I know the story takes place in summer, but this did remind me of Pizza Sim.

Pg. 93 “Margie sat down in the faded blue webbed lawn chair that was set up, for reasons she never understood, in front of the shelves by the stairs.” (I noted this because it's specifically called out and I don't know why.)

Margie talks about why she's working for Evan: Pg. 95 “I didn't get the internship I applied for.” I like to think her and Mia (from 1280) were after the same internship. (I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure Mia mentioned an internship at the hospital.)

Jake is mentioned to have brown hair, green eyes. His favorite color is green. He also wears green often. I couldn't find anything really interesting about it. It would make more sense as a Puppet reference, tbh (because of the green bracelet (and eyes? I may be remembering wrong) I guess it's also worth noting that Elizabeth has green eyes.

Pg 135 “Are you afraid people will think you're murdering me?” “...I could end you so quickly you'd never make a sound.” (Just an odd conversation between Jake and Margie. Margie is joking here, obviously.) Also, Pg. 136 “I just figured your [Jake's] wires got crossed or your circuits were frying.” (Admittedly, I don't know what to make of this. Could be a reference to Robot-CC, if you believe that or MikeBot [I don't], but more likely just ironic dialogue. It could also reference Jake's future in the Stichwraith?)

Pg 139 “Sometimes, Margie wished she was like one of the robots Jake liked so much.” (Although I can't really compare this to Henry, I did write William with this mindset and thought it was worth mentioning.)

Pg 141+ So, Evan dies overseas (he's a soldier). (I think this could be hinting that William has been springlocked around the time CC passes away. Jake has been home for some time after his diagnosis so we can infer based on that and the easter eggs that CC was brought home to die in peace. At the very least, William's probably very absent during this time. Possibly brought in for questioning but not arrested. I don't know. I feel like there's something to this.)

Pg 154 “Dave's at work.” (Why? Can we not use established names? Aghhh)

Pg 155 “The ambulance arrived at 11:32.” (I don't know why this is stated so outright. I couldn't find a reason, except that a few paragraphs earlier they say it will arrive by noon. I don't know why it's so specific, but I felt like noting it anyway.)

Pg 159 “Five people. Five sets of eyes. And none of them noticed...” (Yeah. We all know how important 5 is in FNAF.)

Three medical personel are mentioned. One at the end is named Nancy [No Last Name Given], but I like to think its a reference to Man in 1280 and we're dealing with Heracles Hospital once more, although it's never said in this story. Speaking of, the only thing that really stood out to me in 1280's story was that a billionare funded the restoration of the hospital. I like to headcanon that was Henry's doing—I imagine him obscessing over overcompensating for his mistakes by giving back in every way possible, even if it isn't directly related to him.

So, this post only took two hours of my life. I hope someone gets some use out of it, be it for my intended Willry purposes or maybe those Michael fans that are curious about it. If you enjoyed this post, let me know. I'd love to write up more of these if I have the time.

I have other write-ups on this blog, too. Just search fnaf theories on my blog page!

Sorry, Anon who asked about Mary Anne and then realized that I wrote the wrong name: What would Mary Nette Schmidt be like if the restaurant never closed?

AH ok that makes more sense. SO actually Mary Nette is an oc me and my gf use during FNAF rps. Foxy’s ‘hers’ which is hilarious since in the knight guard au, Foxy and the Marionette do NOT like each other. But...because Mary’s named after the Marionette (...obvs...) and because Mike tried to do something Nice, it comes back to bite them. Kind of. //read more bc rambling:

Names have power, and he kinda, uh, accidentally resurrects the Puppet super slowly back into his kid’s spirit. (Just be thankful his wife is Amazing and doesn’t mind.) Mary exhibits the connection slowly--sitting up before she should when she’s first born. Stares at things over her parents shoulders. Doesn’t cry much. Talks to shadows and Things That Aren’t There. When she’s a toddler, sometimes her blocks spell ‘It’s Me.’ She hums My Grandfather’s Clock, even though Mike is sure no ones taught it to her, and her black and purple crayons are always the first to be worn down. Her hair is dark, almost black-brown like her fathers, save for the single shock of white hair that grows under her messy hair. She’s a lil kid still, and can’t even begin to pronounce ‘The Marionette’ so often time they just hear statements about ‘Puppy.’ Puppy is her imaginary friend, they all assume, and it’s perfectly normal for kiddos her age to have such things.

By the time the animatronics can see the strings connected to her, it’s far to late and they’re too scared of the Marionette to do anything about it.

The more Awake the puppet gets, the more plushies tend to materialize randomly in her room. Foxy’s are her favorite, of course, and her collection is /huge./ But she also has Bonnie’s, Chica’s and Freddy’s. She even has a Golden Freddy plush with blue eyes and a lil black tie, plush flashlight included. Everyone tries to ignore it, because it’s plastic eyes seem to follow you...

IF Mary were in the knight guard au that’s being written, I’d imagine she’d be much the same she is in the rps. She’s kinda scrawny, wiry, and pretty selective in her friends. She’s very much the ‘corner kid’ in the sense that she entertains herself and prefers it. Mary’s self sufficient mentally but does need to know her family is at least around her. Like how cat’s nap like 4 feet from you? That kind of mindset.

She takes after Foxy, is more a leader than follower, (if she can be bothered to lead at all) and while she loves her dad deeply she isn’t super cuddly or over-affectionate. That being said, Mary’s also cat-jealous just like the Marionette was over him. And if someone she doesn’t like or approve of is in his space, she tends to try to eucher his attention or demand things. Her natural gut instinct from the Puppet gives her good horse sense, as it were, and she has no problem telling Mike or the animatronics how she feels about a situation. She gets along better with the animatronics than other kids her own age, (Foxy, Chica and Springtrap more specifically,) but doesn’t so much carry her dad’s sense of justice as she does the Puppet’s gray-area of thinking. She considers Golden Freddy to be as much her father as Mike is. Her powers mirror the Puppet’s, though she inherits them over years so they’d be pretty limited for most of the fics.

Character Bio: Frederick Fazbear Jr and Franklin Fazbear

Born: August 8th, 1987

Race: Mixed (three-fourths black, one-fourth white)

Sexualities: Freddy- gay, Frankie- asexual

Personalities: Freddy- outgoing, dramatic, a bit of a prankster. Frankie- observant, smart, cares a lot about people.

The moment the twins were given names, people assumed that the one with Junior tagged onto the end of his name was somehow the favorite; it was always the complete opposite. Somehow Spring Valley had forgotten that without the original Franklin Fazbear (Fred Sr’s father), Fred’s business couldn’t have even got its beginnings.

Born during the biggest year of Freddy’s, they would be too young to know about the Bite of ’87 and the subsequent closing of their father’s dream business. During the first few years of their lives, they were well loved by their parents (and mildly spoiled, after all Fred still had quite a bit of money following the success of the second location). Freddy was a shy child, usually tagging along and letting his twin speak for him. Frankie was more than glad to speak for the both of them, being naturally curious.

Their mom would sing them songs and their dad would tell them stories from Freddy’s sometimes making up fantastical adventures for the characters to go on that would keep the boys enthralled. Both of them wanted nothing more than to meet these characters, both of them having their own character plushies that had been gifts when they were babies. Freddy had Freddy of course; Frankie had Golden Freddy.

They weren’t yet 4 years old when Fred Sr once again opened Freddy’s; this time in a new, smaller location across town with only 4 animatronics. It didn’t stop the boys from being fascinated immediately. On rare occasions, and only after they’d turned 4, they were allowed to go with their dad before the place officially opened for the day. To them it was the most magical the place could be, seeing this place that was usually so full of life empty.

They celebrated their 5th birthday at Freddy’s, then started kindergarten not long after. This cut down on their chances to go to Freddy’s at all; but if they’d been good Maddie would usually stop by with them for a little bit after school. The twins loved car trips with their mom; she had always had a beautiful singing voice, so she’d sing along with them. Freddy, even at a young age, had a very nice singing voice, and Frankie did his best to keep up.

They still hadn’t lost their love of Freddy’s by the time their 6th birthday was coming around in 1993, and once again they asked to have a birthday at Freddy’s. Their dad wouldn’t turn it down, and sure enough they once again had their party at their favorite place.

It would the first of many unlucky moments in their lives.

In the middle of the birthday show, things turned south and for Fred Sr, suddenly the event from ’87 was happening all over, minus the bite.

Freddy and Frankie, along with two others near the show stage, were on the ground, in agony from some unknown pain. Attempts by their mom to reach them were unheard. Where Freddy was too terrified to do anything, Frankie lashed out in his own way and found… an anchor. To what he didn’t quite understand, but whatever it was lessened the pain.

They were two of the four rushed to the hospital for whatever unknown happened to them; equally unknown was the reason Frankie’s hair went from the dark black it had always been to gold, and his eyes went from a soft brown to a deep, unsettling black. Both twins had a new set of bear ears; brown for Freddy, gold for Frankie.

And as with ’87, no one had any answers for Maddie about what could have happened to her children.

Freddy woke up that night, still in the hospital, to hear snippets of an argument outside their room between his parents.

“You promised they’d be safe, and yet here we are. I should have never let you reopen that place.”

They were out of the hospital a day later, and Freddy’s was closed down for good not long after. The twins didn’t even cry when their dad explained it was closing. They’d both decided they had enough of that place after what happened. They moved to a smaller house in a different part of town, life slowly getting back to normal. Or as normal as it could be.

Freddy could no longer sing the way he once had, although it didn’t stop the family sing alongs.

And Frankie kept having terrible nightmares about the event, nightmares that were disjointed and strange and felt… more like a memory that wasn’t quite his.

Where Frankie had been willing to talk for both of them before, now he was more quiet and reserved. And Freddy took over as the one in charge between the two of them.

They were 8 years old when the next odd event happened. On a usual drive to school, the twins singing along with their mom as usual, Frankie very suddenly and painfully lost his voice. Maddie took him to the ER, frantic about what could be wrong with him. A doctor looked him over thoroughly, but there was nothing physically wrong with him. He just… couldn’t speak. Couldn’t make a sound.

Once Fred learned this, he disappeared for a day or two. The twins were scared, and Maddie did her best to explain that ‘dad has to go figure things out. Just for a little while’. Not that it helped. Frankie was terrified and unable to communicate. Fred came home and thought the boys were overjoyed to see their dad, something still seemed wrong between their parents. Maddie, determined to keep the family from falling apart completely, found sign language classes to sign them up for. It’d give Frankie a way to talk, at the very least.

The next year, just before the twins turned nine, their parents sat them down for a talk. Maddie had cancer, they explained. Some doctors were going to do everything they could, they explained. It would be okay, they said. The twins didn’t know what cancer meant, but with how serious their parents were about it, it couldn’t be good.

By this point, Freddy was getting in fights at school to stand up for both him and Frankie; sometimes these fights went very bad very quickly, the effects from the ’93 event beginning to be more obvious. While Freddy struggled with all the problems- quick temper, prone to outbreaks, memory lapses- Frankie seemed to have few of these same issues. The Fazbears were struggling to keep it together as a family, seemingly running into problem after problem.

For a long while, the twins figured that their mom was fine, that this “cancer” thing was just something she’d get past.

Then it was 1998 and they were watching their mom become weaker and weaker.

A little over a month after their 11th birthday, their mom was admitted to the hospital. They were taken out of school to see her and told that it was hoped she’d recover.

But just in case…

Freddy was stubbornly hopeful that his mom would be fine. She struggled through his favorite song with him, told him she loved him, told him his singing was still just as beautiful as it had always been.

Frankie knew better, pessimistic about a good outcome. He was beginning to notice a pattern with the family luck. His mom took his hand though- something she’d done since losing his voice to keep him calm and tell him he’d be safe.

“You still have the strongest voice of all of us, darling. Don’t ever forget that.”

It would be the last time they saw their mother; she passed away that night.

Their dad was never really the same after that. At first, the fact that they would occasionally be left in the care of two of their dad’s close friends for days at a time wasn’t too concerning. At Ben’s house, they often were babysat by the man’s teen daughter who’d known them their whole lives anyways, and both Ben and his wife Ashley were incredibly loving people. Jeremy was a security guard and worked odd hours, but he’d sometimes bring them with him if he could get away with it. It gave them something to do at least.

The older they got though, the more obvious it was that Fred was simply just growing distant from them. Freddy and Fred got into arguments more often, Freddy telling him he still needed to be there for him. Frankie tried not to add to the stress his dad already seemed to have; not like it was easy for him to communicate with him anyways, Fred having never picked up sign language as well as the rest of them. Something he apologized often for.

Frankie seemed to be the only one to think there was something far bigger that was bothering their dad that he wouldn’t- or couldn’t- tell them about.

At 14, Freddy brought home his first boyfriend, seemingly as a challenge to their dad. Not that it really bothered Fred. The whole thing went better than Freddy expected it to, which shouldn’t have disappointed him as much as it did.

A lot of Fred’s reactions to his antics was disappointing to Freddy in his high school years. The short temper and memory lapses were causing more fights than ever, and Fred just seemed indifferent to it. Nor did he seem concerned with Frankie’s grades slipping, insomnia, and increasingly disjointed nightmares that still felt more like memories- memories that couldn’t even be his.

Then it was 2005. Freddy hardly even acknowledged Fred as his father anymore, despite Frankie trying to convince him that something was clearly wrong with him. One particular fight got far out of hand, Freddy accusing Fred of only ever having cared for their mom, since clearly he didn’t give a shit about them anymore. And it pushed Fred to a certain point, because he snapped back.

“Yeah, what reason are you giving me to care for you anymore, huh? Cause all you ever seem to do is cause me fucking problems. At least your brother can keep his damn mouth shut and not add to my stress, since all you do is try to fight me!”

It was harsh and cruel, and unnecessary, and Frankie could tell he didn’t mean it the moment it came out; Freddy however didn’t have the weird sixth sense Frankie had about these things and took it to heart.

“You know what, fuck you Fred. The second I’m 18, I’m gone. Maybe mom’s parents will take me in. Or her brother. I wouldn’t fucking know, since you pushed them away too, but it sure as hell has to be better taking a chance with them than staying here with you.”

The damage was done on both sides. Freddy didn’t even acknowledge the weak apology. He stopped speaking to his dad entirely, even when Frankie tried to convince him it was all just heat of the moment anger.

July 23rd, 2005.

Fred went to work at his usual time, telling Frankie, the only one awake in the morning when he left, that he’d be back a little late with pizza. Told him to make sure Freddy didn’t do anything dumb. Reminded him he did love him and his brother, even if he seemed distant. All things that Frankie was used to hearing.

Neither of the twins had jobs at the moment, so it was a usual summer day of playing video games. Frankie tried to convince his twin to at least go find their dad some kind of small birthday present since it was now the day before, but Freddy pretended he forgot sign language. Frankie went out by himself and picked up a card and was back home way before Fred was supposed to be back anyways.

The day got later and later- around 11 PM, Freddy commented that Fred sure as hell knew how to let them down. Frankie had to admit it was unusual; he was usually home by 8 on weeknights at the very latest.

And then they heard sirens. There was a long moment where it seemed like maybe they weren’t going to be nearby; but they only grew louder until they sounded like they were only a few houses down. Frankie, always a worrier, took off towards the sound; Freddy followed him, more concerned that it was probably not a thing they ought to be concerned about.

However, the car crash at the corner just down the street had involved an all too familiar black car that looked like it had gotten the worst end of the deal against the SUV at the scene. A few of the neighbors also looked on, one telling the boys that they should probably go home. Freddy vaguely recognized the girl who must have been the driver of the SUV, looking like she was in shock, wrapped in a blanket as a EMT checked her out. Frankie tried to, without thinking, ask another EMT who else was there; Freddy intervened and asked in his place, hardly managed to get out their dad’s name.

The way the EMT’s face fell told them everything.

It was indeed the family car. The intersection had always been a bit dangerous, and the passenger of the SUV said they hadn’t seen the car until it was too late to stop. They hit the driver’s side of the car dead on, and…

They’d sent an ambulance to the hospital with Fred. The EMT assured them they were going to do everything they could, asking if they had a mother who could take them there. Freddy barely managed to convey that no, they didn’t, but they could call someone.

By the time Jeremy was able to get them and take them to the hospital, it was nearing midnight. They startled the receptionist at the ER, Freddy stumbling over his words to ask if a Fred Fazbear had been admitted. The receptionist checked and could only tell them yes; she told them she’d go get a doctor to talk to them. They were hardly able to sit, time feeling way too slow.

The doctor came along shortly and quietly relayed the information. Their dad had passed away before he even made it to the hospital. Freddy didn’t get it for a moment.

“Okay, but he’s gonna be alright? Like we can see him?”

“I’m sorry. He didn’t make it.”

And that was it. The Fazbear twins were orphans. Jeremy took them home with him since both were in a state of shock. They didn’t really sleep that night, reality seeming to lose all meaning.

It stayed that way until the funeral. It wasn’t a big service; Fred had alienated a lot of people along the way and isolated himself as he became more and more distant. It was a far cry from what their mom’s had been, attended by so many people who’d loved her and would genuinely miss her that it overflowed with love and support for the family she left behind. Looking at their dad’s funeral was like looking at a handful of people who were attempting to put on a façade for the ones he was leaving behind. Freddy meant to say something at the funeral, but ended up unable. Ben reminded them they were still always welcome to stay with him.

They stayed with Jeremy after, and a week or two after the funeral Jeremy brought them into work with him. He had taken over a dayshift security job at this guy’s facility where he did all kinds of ‘crazy’ experiments as Jeremy called them. Neither of the twins were too fascinated to meet the man, who Jeremy introduced to them as Phillip Guy. The man was fascinated in their extra ears; in fact he ended up spending a lot of time questioning them about them and if there were any associated effects. Freddy of course answered for both of them.

“Are you two the only ones?”

“Not that- Wait. There was another kid at school with bunny ears I think. And Frankie says he thinks there’s more than that.”

“Fascinating. I might be able to help. Oddities like this are kind of my speciality. Not that you two are oddities, I don’t mean to come off as rude, but-“

“We’d love the help. It would be nice to be normal again.”
