for those who don't know fnaf lore, The Fall of Two Friends It started with a dream. Henry Emily was the artist, the man who built the magic; William Afton was the businessman who made it run. They were close, but William harbored a deep, toxic jealousy toward Henry’s talent and his happy family.In a moment of pure, impulsive malice, William murdered Henry’s daughter, Charlie, outside their restaurant. He didn't just take her life; he broke his friend.2. The Afton Family CollapseWhile William was out hurting others, his own home was a disaster.The Neglect: William was a cold, distant father. His older son, Michael, was a bully who constantly tormented his younger brother (the Crying Child).The Accident: This bullying led to the "Bite of '83," where Michael accidentally caused his brother's death.The Obsession: Instead of grieving, William became obsessed with the idea that the soul could be "fixed" or made immortal through technology. He stopped being a man and became a scientist obsessed with "Remnant"—the soul-stuff left behind by trauma.3. The Cycle of GriefThe "hauntings" are essentially the children's spirits refusing to move on because they were scared and alone.The Puppet (Charlie) became the "mother figure" to the other lost kids, tucking their souls into the suits so they wouldn't fade away.Michael Afton spent the rest of his life trying to clean up his father’s messes. He lived as a "walking corpse" (literally, at one point), hopping from pizzeria to pizzeria to find his father and end the nightmare his family created.4. The Final GoodbyeThe story "ends" (mostly) with two old men. Henry, who has spent decades living in regret, finally traps the monsters—including William and himself—in one last building. He gives a speech that is heartbreakingly human, apologizing to his daughter for not being there to save her, and finally setting everyone free from the "endless labyrinth" of his and William’s making.In short: it's a story about a father who couldn't stop killing, a son trying to find redemption, and a friend trying to put his daughter to rest.
