"I'm sorry...I'm so, SO sorry. I failed you. I was never what any of you needed. I was only made to hurt things. My fault. My fault...Hurt. Everything hurts. Hurt back. ALWAYS hurt back. Parents. Scientists. Everyone. Have to- (crying) My friends. He killed my friends. (crying) You...It all started with you. You and her. It was you who ruined everything! No. No, that's not true. They jumpstarted the generator. They...Destroyed everything! I'LL KILL YOU!" Soon after the vat incident, an unknown scientist contacted Jack's parents—Susan and George Ayers—to reveal they could bring their son back. Six weeks after receiving the initial letter, Susan and George visited Jack as Doey.[3] The scientists locked them in Doey's room. Jack did not remember them before Kevin briefly took control of the experiment and killed them in a fit of rage, believing them to be scientists who harmed him, which is presumably what the scientists intended. Doey the Doughman's experiment version started as three different children. One was an innocent child named Jack Ayers, who had been gifted an invitation to the Playtime Co. factory for Christmas 1992, alongside a Doey the Doughman toy. During his tour on January 22, 1993, Jack was seen away from the rest of the tour group, in a dough mixing facility, before falling into the vat mixer. The second was a temperamental boy named Kevin Barnes, who would easily throw tantrums and hurt everyone around him when overwhelmed, even his friends. The last was a smart, well-mannered teenager named Matthew Hallard, who would take care of those around him, making some scientists hesitant about "wasting" him in an experiment. The three of them were then combined into one toy, presumably to make a combination of all three of the boys' characteristics.
