After the devastating fire at Circus Baby Pizza World, William Afton returned home with a heavy heart and a mind filled with remorse for the consequences of his actions. He realized that he could no longer continue on the dark path he had chosen and that it was time for a change.
Upon entering the house, he found his son Michael sitting, watching the news on television, which was reporting on the fire and the destruction caused by it. Michael's face showed concern and sadness for what had happened.
"I'm sorry, Michael. All of this is my fault," William confessed with sorrow.
Michael looked at his father with a mix of sadness and frustration. He knew that William's actions had led to this catastrophe, but he also knew that his father was genuinely sorry, though he was good at pretending to be remorseful.
"It's okay, Dad. What's important now is that we learn from our mistakes and change for the better," Michael replied, but deep down, he was glad that his father's plans had failed.
William nodded, grateful for his son's understanding. He knew he needed to redeem himself and, at the same time, protect Michael from his own negative influence.
"Michael, listen to me carefully. From now on, you need to get a job and follow a different path from mine. I want you to distance yourself from all of this and build a better future for yourself," William said seriously.
Michael nodded, determined to follow his father's advice. He knew he needed to step out of William's shadow and create a different life for himself.
In the following days, Michael devoted himself to finding a job in various places around the city. He distributed resumes and went through numerous interviews, but finding work was not easy. Many employers looked at William Afton's son with suspicion, fearing his involvement in the incidents at Circus Baby Pizza World.
Frustrated, Michael continued to search until he finally received a job offer as a night security guard at Fredbear's Family Dinner. Although it wasn't his dream job, he accepted it gladly, knowing it was an opportunity to start anew.
As Michael began working at Fredbear's Family Dinner, William found a new purpose amid the sadness he felt. He decided to build Afton Robotics, a technology company specializing in animatronics and advanced robotics, beneath his house.
William invested hours and hours in research, design, and experiments, developing the most sophisticated technology the world had ever seen. His goal was to create perfect animatronics, capable of replicating human behaviors in an impressive way.
In a dark corner of the underground laboratory, William started building a unique animatronic, which he named Lolbit. This animatronic was different from any he had created before. It had the ability to connect to the entire factory and interact with other electronic devices, making it even more intriguing.
While Michael worked on the silent nights at Fredbear's Family Dinner, William tirelessly dedicated himself to the development of Lolbit. He wasn't seeking redemption or remorse; his desire was to reach the pinnacle of technology and knowledge.
As time passed, Michael found stability in his job as a night security guard. He worked diligently and professionally, keeping himself busy during the long nights at the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Lolbit gradually took shape, with each piece meticulously assembled by William. The animatronic had a unique appearance, with modern lines and an enigmatic aura. William was fascinated with his creation and envisioned endless possibilities for the technology he had developed.
As time went on, Afton Robotics gained recognition in the world of robotics. William's creations were considered advanced and groundbreaking, attracting the attention of investors and entrepreneurs.
However, William kept Lolbit a secret, not wanting to share his creation with the world just yet. He believed that Lolbit could be the centerpiece of his animatronics empire and had ambitious plans for its use.
While Michael continued his nightly routine at Fredbear's Family Dinner, he had no idea about the technological advancements happening beneath the house where he grew up. His focus was on securing his independence and distancing himself from his father's dark legacy.
As both Michael and William's work progressed, fate was preparing an encounter that would change everything. Their lives were about to collide again, and the future would be even more unpredictable than they ever imagined.
