An Eye for An Eye

by Malley

*SPOILERS FOR FNaF: SL* William Afton wasn't always a murderer. In fact, he was once a loving family man and businessman. A little boy and a little girl; because of them, William makes it his mission to destroy the very monstrosity he created: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. But has the murderer met his match in Freddy Fazbear's?

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Chapter 4: Changes

In the days and weeks following the tragedy at Circus Baby's Pizza World, many changes were implemented. The mechanics and night workers were given a new tool to work with when dealing with the animatronics after hours: an electric shock. Circus Baby, despite being the titular character of the sister location of the Freddy Fazbear's line, was immediately banned from performing again. Ever again. But perhaps the biggest change manifested itself in William Afton.

It was no secret that the man blamed himself for what happened to his daughter. He'd never even had a chance to get over what happened to his son barely even five years ago when this new tragedy occurred. To make matters even worse, while he knew what happened with Lukas, William hardly knew what happened with Elyse. There were so many unanswered questions that weighed heavily on his mind and his heart.

The outpouring of support from family and friends was touching, but it did nothing to ease the immense pain William felt every moment of every day. He tried to bury himself in his work, but that didn't help. The employees, and even some of the visiting families, would often stop by his office, where he had barricaded himself to hide from the world, to check on him and see if he needed anything. It was out of the goodness of their hearts that they did so, but it only served to upset William further. Nothing anyone could do could fix what happened.

Everyone eventually got the hint that William had no desire to deal with anyone at present and left him to his own devices. However, that didn't mean that the whispers and comments didn't make it back to him.

The poor guy...

First his son, now his daughter...

I wish we could do something for him...

Should we be afraid to let our kids spend time here?

He's handling himself better than anyone thought, but it's only a matter of time until the guy snaps...

Until he snaps...snaps...snapping...snapped...

Unfortunately for all, that moment was closer than anyone believed.
