Henry glared at Joey as the others stood behind him with Bendy gripping onto his leg, it was very clear that the little toon was still afraid of Joey and Lily was also clinging to Henry, something about this man made her feel uneasy.

"Alright Joey, what the hell has been going on here, me and my daughter have been trapped in this place for god knows how long and I almost lost her three times, and don't get me started on the way you treated Bendy after throwing me out, I know everything" Henry explained as the older man let out a sigh and had an expression on his face that looked like it was almost filled with regret

"I know, and I'm sorry for all that I've done, I guess all the leadership and being in charge of the studio really got to my head, I deeply regret all that I've done and I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive me" Joey replied and Just as Henry was about to answer, Joey cut him off "but before you answer, I have one question, who are we, Henry, I thought I knew who I was, but the success-starved me, nothing but lines left on the page. In the end, we followed two different roads to our own making, you a lovely family" he looked over towards Lily who was still clinging to her daddy's arm as Bendy did the same to Henry's other arm "me, a crooked empire and my road burned. I let my creations come to life."

"Yes, and I knew how, by using living people, you murdered them just so you could have living cartoons" Henry practically barked before gesturing over to Tom and Allison "even these two became characters from the cartoons, and Sammy, he never became a toon but he did go insane after being trapped in here for all these years and do you want to know what he did when me and Lily were trapped here also?"

"I know, he tried to sacrifice you both to Bendy, I knew that he was worshipping him like he was some sort of God" Joey replied.

"Boy was that annoying" Bendy replied, speaking up for the first time since Joey's arrival "I may be a Demon, but that doesn't mean I wanna be worshipped like I'm some God."

Oh please, like I'd wanna worship that little pipsqueak" Sammy scoffed, still having no recollection of everything that had happened "and are you trying to tell me that I tried sacrificing the little girl, that's messed up and I would never do a thing like this."

"Well you did and you did worship Bendy when he was in his Ink Demon form" Henry explained, "but now that everything is back to normal, I hold no hard feelings and that means you too Joey, I forgive you for everything."

"I was hoping you would say that" Joey replied with a smile "but I still hate myself for all that I've done, it was my fault that so many people suffered and it's my fault that Bendy became that monster who terrorised you and your daughter during your time trapped here" he then gave the little girl who was still clinging to Henry's arm a friendly smile and knelt down to her level "so, you must be Lily, my I have to say that you look so much like your father and I think there's a little bit of your Mother in you also."

"My Mommy's dead" Lily replied softly.

"What, Linda's dead?" Joey asked and Henry nodded, explaining that she had been knocked down by a hit and run driver right outside their old home and that both he and Lily had moved into the city to make a fresh start and also because staying in their old home would only be a constant reminder of her tragic death.

"That's awful, you two were such a lovely couple" Joey replied with a hint of sympathy in his tone "and also, speaking of fresh starts, I want you to open up this place again Henry, I want you to bring the studio back to life again and to bring the cartoons back also, let a new generation of children see them. What do you say, wanna open up the old studio again and make a new generation of Bendy cartoons?" Upon hearing this, Henry was quite taken aback, surely Joey couldn't be serious, he had spent god knows how long trying to escape this place and he almost lost Lily more than once due to her being kidnapped three times whilst they were stuck here and now Joey was wanting him to open up the place again.

"I don't know" he replied, a little hesitant "me and Lily have just spent, well who knows how long trapped in this place and trying to escape, I'm not sure opening up this place again would be a good idea, not after everything that's happened."

"But everything is fixed how Henry" Joey replied as the others looked at the older man in confusion "ever since you played the end reel, it reversed all that had happened, it fixed everything so everything should be fine, what do you say old friend, wanna reopen the studio and bring the cartoons back to life for a new generation of children such as your daughter?"

"Well it's a pretty big decision and I'll have to think about it" Henry replied, putting his arms around Lily and Bendy "but I have to focus on these guys right now, Lily's pretty traumatized by everything that's happened, also I need to take her to the emergency room for her ankle because she got hurt when the elevator crashed and also, she hit her head so I'll have to get that checked out also."

"I understand...you take all the time you need" Joey replied, "anyway, it was good to see you old friend and as I said before, I am truly sorry for all the things I did." Henry nodded as he picked up Lily whilst Bendy held onto his hand and the group walked out of the Ink machine room, towards the exit.

"Well, I guess this is it" Henry stated, "time to go leave this place." He set Lily down on the floor and placed his hands on the door and slowly pushed it open to the outside world and this reminded Lily of the scene in the Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy opened the door in her black and white house to a bright, colorful world. The little girl giggled as she ran out into the street and danced around the pavement whilst Henry couldn't help but smile, he hadn't seen her this happy since before they arrived at the studio and even Bendy seemed happy, it was almost like he had never been outside before.

"Wow, I thought I'd never get to see the outside world, after being stuck in that place for so long" the little Demon piped up as Henry scooped him up "feels so good to finally get out of there. So Henry, when do we get to go home?" Henry chuckled and patted Bendy on the head, saying that he needed to take Lily to the hospital first to get her injuries from the elevator crash checked out first and then once they had done there then they would be going home.

"Why can't we go home now?" Lily asked, " I feel fine, I don't need to go to the hospital." The child looked at Henry with a pleading look and he crouched down to her level, explaining that she would still need to be checked out with her being knocked unconscious and losing her memory for a short time.

"I promise you, honey, we'll go straight home once we're done at the hospital ok" he reassured her and the little girl nodded before they said their goodbyes to the others and got in Henry's car, driving away from the studio with both Lily and Bendy looking out the back window, watching as it disappeared from view.

One month later

Life at the Bowen household had changed since Henry and Lily moved back in, ever since they left the studio, Bendy was now living with them and both he and Lily where thick as thieves, Allison, Tom, and Sammy had moved into the house next door and Henry decided to accept Joey's request to reopen the studio and create new Bendy cartoons and even the little toon himself was happy to come back and help out now that he knew that it wouldn't be like it would be when Joey was running the place, he had long since retired but he was still keen to give Henry some advice.

"I'm glad you helped bring the studio back to normal" Bendy implied one evening after Henry came home from a shift "both me and Lily are." Since moving in with Henry and Lily, Bendy had acted like an older brother towards Lily and would defend her if she was ever under any threat. There had been an incident where they had gone to the local park and some older boys who were approx three to four years older than Lily began taunting and threatening her so Bendy decided to use his Ink Demon form to scare these bullies away and even warned them not to tell anyone about him or he would come for them one by one and drown them in Ink.

"So am I buddy" Henry replied, patting the toon on the head "and I'll be honest, but it feels great to finally get back to making those cartoons, anyways it's getting late, I think it's time you guys hit the hay." Ever since leaving the studio, Lily would often have nightmares about their time being trapped there, this resulted in the little girl waking up screaming with both Henry and Bendy reassuring her that everything that happened was all over now.

After almost a month had passed since they went to the studio and Bendy came to live with them, the three decided to take a trip up to the cemetery to visit Linda's grave and put some Flowers on there.

"I still can't believe she's dead, she was such a nice lady and you guys were so good together" Bendy stated as the three stood in front of the gravestone " so when did you guys you know, get married?"

"About a year after I left the studio and then she had Lily the year after" Henry explained, putting his arm around Lily's shoulders " today marks two months since she passed away, so I thought we'd all come up here to visit her grave."

"Daddy" Lily piped up, tugging on Henry's arm "what would have mommy thought about Bendy living with us, do you think she would have been happy that he was living with us."

"I'm sure she would have" he replied, picking the little girl up from the ground and holding her in his arms " your mommy really liked Bendy, treated him like he was her own son, after all, he was my creation" he used his free hand to pat the toon on the back who smiled in response "so that makes him part of the family. I may have lost a wife but I've got two great kids and I'm sure the three of us are going to be just fine." After spending some time at Linda's grave, Henry, Bendy, and Lily all headed back to the car and drove away from the cemetery as evening began to fall.

On the drive home, Henry peered through the rear mirror to find both Lily and Bendy fast asleep on the back seat, the pair of them sat next to each other with their head's resting on one an another and Henry couldn't help but smile, relieved that everything that had happened during their time at the studio had long been put behind them and they could now live a normal life and he could also give Bendy the life he never got also, everything was going to be just fine and he knew it.
