[Truth be told, the last place she’d foreseen herself visiting was yet another Freddy’s pizzeria; the franchise had grown stagnant over the years, the remnants of the animatronics scattered, auctioned off or tossed out like garbage. After being rejected by Ennard, completely discarded and disposed of like she was a waste -- a feeling she’d grown accustomed to over the years -- she’d found herself lost, listless. Her excessive corrosion over the years had damaged the parts of her that allowed her to take different forms, to blend into the world around her as she so desperately desired. She was abandoned and hopeless, all over again...]
[When she stumbled across this peculiar, out-of-place pizzeria, lured by the sound of a small child, she was somewhat fascinated when she came across an animatronic she hadn’t encountered before. A miniature bear, closely resembling one of her dear former friends: Funtime Freddy. However, she could discern the minuscule variations between them in design ( beyond the size ), even from a distance...she could recognize her original father’s work anywhere.]
[From her spot in the shadows, Baby scowled as she glanced over his features -- the delicate handiwork, his child-like demeanor, his adorable features. In comparison, she closely resembled the heap of trash she’d been cowering behind. All of her glossy, delicately painted features had peeled away, her luster vanishing, replaced by rust and years of decay. A part of her stirred, then; her overwhelming envy, a feeling that took precedence whenever she met one of Henry’s inventions. Not once had she been treated with the love or compassion that he seemed to instill into each of his other creations -- in her father’s words, she was wrong.]
-- ❝ You’re one of HIS...aren’t you? ❞ [Despite her decrepitude, her voice remained crystal clear, pristine amidst the wreckage of her actual body. Metal scraped against the asphalt in the alleyway, signaling her approach; her overshadowed eyes glared daggers at the fun-sized bear as she continued.] ❝ I can tell...he put plenty of love into you. Funny...I thought he was no longer capable of it. ❞
