Grant's in the middle of working on finances for the studio before whatever this big thing Joey's planning comes into play when Thomas walks in. "Hey," Thomas greeted him, "you up to anything?" Grant nods in response. "Just getting the last bit of taxes done before whatever this thing Joey keeps mentioning is made. Especially since I know I m going to need a lot for it," Grant told him, he could tell that it was going to cost a lot, so could Thomas.

"Hey, I'm the repairman. If anything, I'm going to work on parts of whatever this big thing is, or at least be forced to by Joey," Thomas replied. "And I'm the tax man. Joey's only going to expect me to pay for this big thing," Grant said back. "Well, whatever this is, I don't think it's needed," Thomas said, "but I guess it's what Joey wants." Grant agrees with him, "yeah, I suppose it is what Joey wants, he is the boss of this studio anyways."

At his desk, Henry's finishing something up, not Alice's cartoon now named 'Sent From Above', but a letter. He's writing a letter to Linda but also himself.

The letter reads,

Dear Linda,

I realize it's been a while since I've actually been able to see you properly. You probably miss me right now. Unfortunately, this is a job that's not only something I must work hard on, but this studio is also getting weirder by the day. Joey's taking all of my ideas whenever I give ideas, he has a huge plan in the works, and I think he's becoming a tad bit strange. If anything, this project is going to keep me here, I don't know how long but it could keep me here for a bit. Hopefully, I can maybe take a vacation and come back home soon. For now, just wish me luck on future work to come. I love you.

Sincerely, Henry

Meanwhile, in other parts of the studio, Wally is doing his janitorial work and finds a box. He only assumes he should look through it and clean anything out if needed. He crouches down and looks inside only to find a Bendy cutout however, this cutout was not like the others. This one was different and far weirder like the rest. He didn't have the pie cut like eyes like the rest of them, this time they were more human but it wasn't like that to Wally it was just creepy to him. Another thing that caught his eye was that this cutout held a sign and that sign said: "Wandering is a terrible sin". All he could think was, What was Joey thinking? Was this just because of an error? There's no possible way this was an error while making a cutout though. Wally knew he had to talk to Joey about something, this wasn't normal, but he decides to keep cleaning the box out.

In the infirmary, Jack is talking about his ideas for future songs to Sammy. He slightly wondered why these ideas were being given in the infirmary but Jack liked working in the sewers down below, he figured it made sense. I have this one specific idea for Alice, Jack told Sammy, which made him raise an eyebrow. What s your idea for an Alice song? Sammy asked. Just a short song that introduces Alice Angel properly, Jack answered. Sammy shakes his head in curiosity. Do tell.

After looking through the lyrics a bit and some composing, Sammy and Jack offer Susie to try the song out, which she does.

Susie, in her Alice voice, as angelic as the character herself, sings the following lyrics:

"I'm the cutest little angel, sent from above, and I know just how to swing
I got a bright little help, and I'm filled with love
I'm Alice Angel!
I'm the hit of the party, I'm the belle of the ball, I'm the toast of every town
Just one little dance, and I know you'll fall
I'm Alice Angel!
I ain't no flapper, I'm a classy dish, and boy, can this girl sing.
This gal can grant your every wish
I'm Alice Angel!"

Sammy and Jack enjoyed it, they knew this song would work in Alice's first appearance, they thought this song actually fit for her.

Later on in the day, Joey calls everyone for a meeting. Everyone could only wonder what this was about because Joey said nothing about his idea except for 'this was going to be big'. "Alright, everyone! I think this is going to be perfect!" Joey exclaimed, going to his side of the meeting table. "Why are you even adding anything to this studio anyways? Isn't it already as big as it is?" Lacie only asked in response. "No, this is needed. What we're doing is not enough, putting ink on paper isn't enough, we need to do something unique. We need something unique for more belief!" Joey responded, only making them more confused. Weren't they already believing enough?

"Joey, I don't understand, we work hard on this project," Henry said, something was up here. "I know but do you dream and believe enough?" Joey asked them. "Of course we do, we work here to keep the business going," Shawn told him. "Yeah, if we didn't believe, we wouldn't even be working here," Grant said adding onto what Shawn said. "You guys don't get it. It's time to believe MORE than that!" Joey exclaimed. "Joey, he was right, we work here to believe-" Sammy said but Joey just continues on. "Listen, what we need...is an ink machine." Joey said. This only made them even more confused. "Why do we need a machine and what would it be for?" Wally asked, clearly not supporting this idea. "I believe that with this machine, we can make all these characters come to life!" Joey exclaimed. They knew that wouldn't work. "Joey, how is that going to work? They're cartoon characters, you can't just bring them to life," Norman said, trying to prove a point. "Everything is possible if you believe!" Joey exclaimed, going to grab a book. "A machine wouldn't do anything anyways. I believe something and it's that it would only make the studio go in bad shape," Thomas said. "Well, I believe it won't. As long as you believe in the illusion of living," Joey said, showing the book with the same name to everyone. They couldn't do anything, Joey was going to make this ink machine come to life anyways, all they knew was that this was only going to go one way or the other.

Joey is listening through Susie's recording of Alice's song and turns to Sammy. "Did you and Jack think of this yourself?" Joey asked him. "Yes, yes we did. It was mainly Jack's idea, but we worked on it ourselves," Sammy responded. He forgot that they should've asked for Joey's approval first. "I like it. However, there's one thing that's on my head," Joey said. "What is it, should we change some lyrics, composition, or what?" Sammy asked. "We should test other people for this role. With the ink machine coming in soon, it would be useful on one condition and that's the fact that we could clone these toons!" Joey said, which confused Sammy. "Why clone them? Duplicates don't do anything special," Sammy responded with. "Again, anything is possible with enough belief!" Joey exclaimed. "And what about Susie? She was happy getting the part," Sammy told him. This makes Joey think for a bit when he looks up and says, "don't worry, I have something in mind."

In his office, Sammy is left doing blueprints for the ink machine, this of which stresses him out. He's here to song compose, not help design a big machine. Every idea for the machine's design he has, they're all declined by Joey and he has to start again from scratch. Any future design that is picked will then be built by various builders and if built wrong, Thomas will have to repair it. All Sammy hopes is that this current design he's thinking of will be the one to be chosen.

Soon, Joey decides that two new rooms should be built. Nothing is known about the second room but this does indeed bug everyone out. The ink machine's not in production and there's already a second room planned, what was it going to be for this time? One of the people who's bugged the most is Wally, who finally decides to talk about that cutout he saw in the box, holding his thoughts on the ink machine plans for another day, preferably when the ink machine is made.

Joey's writing down ideas for the future when Wally knocks on the door. "Mr. Drew, it's Wally!" He exclaimed, trying to get his attention. Joey just sighs. "Come in, Wally!" Joey exclaimed back. That's when the red-haired janitor comes in, not looking so happy. "Joey, is there a reason there's a serious error in the Bendy cutouts?" Wally asked. "What do you mean?! All the cutouts are fine," Joey said, but Wally just shakes his head in disapproval. "Then why was there a Bendy cutout saying stuff about sinning?" Wally asked him once more. "You got something wrong, we would never say anything about sin. We care about belief more than that type of dark stuff," Joey explained. "Listen, I don't care about your belief or illusion of living. If you really think I'm going to go by belief in the serious moments, I'm outta here!" Wally exclaimed, shutting the door behind him. Joey just sighs and gets back to writing more ideas, thinking it was just an act considering Wally has done this before.

As days, weeks go by, more things happen. Susie gets told Alice will get a minor change, Sammy's almost done thinking of the blueprint also while composing music for new cartoons, Jack writing lyrics for most of Alice's songs, Thomas gets ready to possibly have to repair the machine, Grant prepares for how much finances that'll come out of this huge project, and Henry adds three new characters to the cartoons, which he preferably calls them "The Butcher Gang", only exciting Joey because not only is production going somewhere at this rate, this also meant new toons to come to life.

(A/N: oh boy, the ink machine is now in production. What will it do to the studio exactly? Well, you'll see. I also forgot Thomas was a repairman so if he's a technician in any previous chapter, that's why!)
