Title: The Puppeteer

Henry Emily once dreamed of joy. He was an engineer, an inventor, and a father. With his partner William Afton, he co-founded Fredbear’s Family Diner—what began as a haven of laughter, pizza, and animatronics. But as time passed, the laughter faded, and the shadows deepened.

Henry poured his soul into the design of the animatronics. They weren’t just machines—they were protectors. Meant to safeguard children, they had safety protocols, facial recognition, even advanced AI. But Henry’s greatest creation was for his daughter—an animatronic named The Puppet.

Then everything changed.

William Afton, once a trusted friend, became something else. Something darker. One by one, children disappeared. Henry knew. He knew, but he couldn’t prove it. The evidence was always one step out of reach. And then… his own daughter, Charlotte, was taken—trapped outside the restaurant as the animatronics stood idle. She died alone.

That broke him.

But The Puppet—his Puppet—awoke. Possessed by Charlotte’s spirit, it sought to protect, to give peace to the lost children. Henry watched as the place fell into rot and decay, becoming a haunted graveyard of metal and regret.

Years passed. William vanished, hiding behind the mask of Springtrap. Henry, meanwhile, worked from the shadows, orchestrating one final plan.

He built the Pizzeria Simulator. A trap. A stage. One final gathering. He lured them all back—Springtrap, the haunted animatronics, the lost souls. And when the time was right, he spoke over the intercom:

"This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away, as the agony of every tragedy should. To you monsters trapped in the corridors… be still, and give up your spirits. They don’t belong to you."

He knew it had to end with fire. With cleansing. He stayed, sacrificing himself to end the curse once and for all.
