As before, Fazbear Entertainment was able to survive a series of child abductions, only to be closed again for another incident. However, it was hurt much harder than before. This time, the children's bodies were found, thus eliminating the possibility of them being listed as just "missing". The animatronic malfunction labeled "the bite of '87" was a stain on the reputation of the company that it would never get past. Additionally, this time, the killer was not arrested. Fazbear Entertainment had this to say:

"It's a minor setback. We are confident that we will reopen someday, even if it is with a much smaller budget."

The Toy animatronics were slated to be dismantled and replaced by their old versions, which were to be repaired.

…

For the first time in weeks, Peter was able to see and speak again when Faz put back Bonnie's endoskeleton head. Up until now, he could only ever walk towards whatever sound he could hear and hope that it was his goal. When the Purple Guy had been in the Main Office, he had hoped that not being able to see would have given him a way to work around the Freddy Head trick, but he found out that as long as the endoskeleton itself knew that the night guard had a suit on, he couldn't hurt him; ergo, whenever Bonnie heard the night guard put the Freddy head on, it no longer counted as an endoskeleton without its suit.

However, it was bittersweet moment for Peter. Finally, he was able to see again, and he was able to communicate with the others through the Ethereal, but it was only for a few moments before Mr. Faz shut Bonnie down to go into storage. Also, Peter knew if Faz was putting Bonnie and Chica back together, they weren't using the Toy Foxy anymore. They were going to get rid of the Toy animatronics.

Puppet, what's going to happen to Val and Vince? What's going to happen to the others?

The Puppet didn't respond immediately.

…They're bodies are going to be taken apart. When that happens, they won't be able to stay in those bodies anymore. Without a body, they're either going to wander around in the Ethereal or they'll have to find some other kind of vessel.

Is there anything we can do for them?

No. They're out of our hands now.

This isn't fair. Vince and Val finally get the Purple Man, and they're going to be taken apart. It's not fair.

…What's going to happen to us though?

I think…it's going to be the same thing as last time.

No…no not again…not the dark…

Puppet…there's got to be something we can do…I don't want to live like this anymore…isn't there some way we can leave this store?

I don't know.

How can you not know?

I just don't. I thought that maybe, if we could get the Purple Man, if we could get the one that put us here, we might be able to move on.

But Vince and Val did!

I think they only hurt him…but also…I'm not sure anymore that that was the Purple Man.

What? What do you mean? We saw him! He was in the office this whole time! You saw him!

I'm not so sure anymore. Things seem clearer now that I don't have an endoskeleton inside of this body. Things seem less confusing. I don't see the Purple Man everywhere now. I think that it was just some trick that the real Purple Man did so we couldn't see him.

…You're wrong.

Will…

It doesn't matter what you say. You're wrong. Even if that wasn't the Purple Man, I'm not going to give up until I get the real Purple Man for good.

I don't think you'll won't know him if you see him anymore.

It doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. No one understands us anymore. I can't talk to anyone. No one understands me. They only understand me when I show them what it was like. I'm going to keep doing that until someone helps me.

Will…

There's got to be someone…someone's got to help me…someone's got to help us.

...

Vince? Val?

…

VeeVee?

Horse food wolf house?

I'm scared.

The house keeps the wolf out while the horse eats.

…I wish you guys could talk the way you used to.

The house is upside down. The doors only open one way.

I think…I think at least you're trying.

Horse is dry and happy.

It's just that…I don't know what's going to happen.

The house keeps the horse from the violets! Horses and wolves don't need to worry about eating the poison flowers anymore!

I don't remember the last time they turned us on…and sometimes I feel people close by…they don't like us anymore.

The clown will feed the wolves cyanide pies. Jharā.

You're…you're supposed to be the clown, right? Don't do that. I think that what you did is why they haven't turned us on again.

…The horse gets a rubber nose.

Don't worry, I know you were trying to help. I'm just…just…

The horse trades shoes with the clown?

It's just…what if they don't turn us on again? What if they…what if they do what they did to Will and his friends?

The horse will eat in the house. No violets. No wolves.

…What if…what if…

It's good food!

…I heard them once…the said that they were going to take us apart.

Jharā! The houses burn and flood! The house will fall on the wolves!

VeeVee…VeeVee…I think someone's there…

The door is locked! The wolf can't get in!

…

Does the horse have a full mouth?

…

Does the wolf's house have enough food?

…

Why is the wolf not laughing?

…it's…

Horse food wolf house?

…so…cold…

…The wolf…the wolf got into his house…no…the horse was too fat to run away…the wolf is sleeping… j…jharā… Jharā…no! Jharā! Jharā! The clown's play isn't done yet! The circus can't close now! Jhar…

There was a horrible feeling of separation as the Mangle was reduced to its constituent parts. The spirits of the twins were broken up with the Mangle as the employees disassembled it for the last time. Unable to stay in the individual fragments, the spirits left.

…

"First room on the left, Mr. Graham."

Joel thanked the receptionist and walked down the hall. He braced himself for what he was going to see. However, when he opened the door and saw Jeremy reclining on his bed, he was amazed to see how much better he looked. Jeremy had to get some major surgery and skin grafts, but all Joel could see on his face were a few stitches. Besides that, he looked as normal as he did when he first started working.

"Hey Jeremy! It's good to see you so well!"

Jeremy looked at Joel, but didn't do anything else. His face was as blank as it was when the Mangle attacked him.

"Uh, Jeremy, do you remember me? It's Joel. I was working with you when you…uh…ended up here."

"When I was attacked by an animatronic."

"Well…yeah…sorry about that." Joel sighed. Jeremy looked alright, but something about him didn't feel right to Joel. He wanted to say something to alleviate the mood. "Sorry you had such a tough week, but hey, you look great now! No one would believe you got…uh…"

"Bit in the face by an animatronic."

"Uh, yeah. Heck, that'll be a story to tell people, right?"

Jeremy's face didn't change. He wasn't laughing, but he didn't seem angry either. He didn't seem anything at all.

"Yeah."

"So…what have the doctors been doing to you to help you out?"

Jeremy had started watching a fly buzz around the room and settle on the window.

"Jeremy?"

Jeremy shook his head and looked back at Joel.

"How have the doctors been helping you?"

Jeremy still didn't answer.

"Uh, Jeremy?"

"Who are you?"

Joel blinked.

"What do you mean? I told you, it's Joel. Don't you remember me?"

"I remember Joel. I remember the Phone Guy. Who are you?"

"Uh…what do you mean? I'm Joel. You called me the Phone Guy when we first met. I left you phone messages over your first week…"

"Oh darn it!"

Joel flinched as someone shouted behind him. One of the doctors had come into the room without him realizing it. He took Joel by the shoulder.

"Listen, you should come out into the hallway with me."

Joel was too dumbstruck to resist. He followed the doctor, stealing a glance back at Jeremy, who was still staring at him from the bed. The doctor closed the door behind Joel.

"I'm sorry about that, the receptionist shouldn't have let you in just yet."

"Wha…what's wrong with Jeremy?"

The doctor sighed.

"We think Mr. Fitzgerald has developed Capgras Syndrome."

"Excuse me?"

"In short, he thinks that anyone he meets is an imposter. It was pretty rough when his family came in. How do you know Mr. Fitzgerald?"

"Uh, I worked with him."

"You mean at that pizza place?"

"Yes. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

"So were you there for the accident?"

Joel had been trying not to think about the bite. He had come expecting to see Jeremy physically disfigured, and found that he was now…well…not as much here.

"Y…yes…but I'd rather not talk about it. My boss wants to clear up stuff before we say anything."

The doctor frowned.

"Sure. Well, I'm not sure that there's that much good you can do here. I'm sure that if Mr. Fitzgerald was in the right state of mind, he'd be grateful for one of his coworkers dropping by." The doctor began to herd Joel back down the hall.

"But…you can make him better, right?"

The doctor stopped.

"Listen, Capgras is caused by damage to the frontal lobe. We can fix damage with therapy and the right drugs, but Jeremy's frontal lobe hasn't been damaged. It's been removed. If you really want to help your friend, I recommend you tell your boss that so he can be a bit more open about what's been going on at your store."

Joel was sent back outside. He took a moment to think about his life. He worked for a company that was linked to multiple child murders, health violations, and maiming. The animatronics had had a history of malfunctioning, badly. Joel considered the idea of quitting. He decided that he'd rather focus on simply getting over what happened to Jeremy and move on with his life, so he answered this tragedy by choosing to forget about it. Joel had gotten pretty good at that at his job.
