Hello hello, Chika here again ☆
It’s been so long, but now I’ve got some time for theories. Or, maybe not theories, but I’d like to talk about what happened in the final Cutscene with you and for the ones, who aren’t involved yet. So, let’s start. :)
As I said under my crappy fanart I was surprised and done at the same time, such as a little bit sad, but c’mon, this is kinda heartbreaking. The poor family ( besides Afton, but sometimes and maybe there are reason why he is like that ). Scott gave us a big big piece for the lore and it was good. Amazing. Two days before I don’t know about the cutscenes after every custom challenge and yesterday the final one came out and can be watched, if you’ve beat the Golden Freddy Mode on Very Hard. There were so many informations and I don’t want to act like someone, who use “ copy paste “, but for you I wanted to write down the correct order of the timeline with the things Scott gave us.
Note / friendly reminder, if you you haven’t reach or watch the final cutscene, this things are under a Spoiler cut, beware and read at your own risk. :)

So, we know it was Michael Afton, not his father, who plays his role in Sister Location. Quick side note, we all shouldn’t forget, that Eggs Benedict is just a synonym and not a real name or person behind it. As son he knows kinda everything about the location and I think that’s the reason why he does things like reboot the system again and turn off Funtime Freddy ( and his handpuppet ). Maybe he steals the blueprints from his father to figure out how they work and stuff like this, but this could be a theory. William is still a killer and Michael was his partner in crime, more unwanted then really interested, and he had no problem to kill or let die his own son ( this is why Michael finally ended in Springtrap ). Who did the fire? In my opinion, it was Michael to be finally free, but his soul is bonded to this body and he can’t die ( just like Baby said, “ you won’t die “ ). I think the Night Guard, as we played with, was his own father, William, and they faced each other after 30 years. I also think this is the reason why Springtrap just stare for five or more minutes at you before he finally attacks. He sees his own father, after this long time and he is like “ oh, good to see you again “. As Dawko said in his videos, there are two different Purple Guys, esspecially in the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Minigames. The one, who murdered children ( example: “ Take Cake to the Children “ or the “ Go! Go! Go! Minigame with Foxy ) and the one, who only said “ You can’t “, ended your minigame and did nothing to you. The one with the brighter purple skin was William, the other one was his son. Dawko also said, that Michael came to the pizzeria of the first game to set the souls of the dead children free, this is why we saw a Purple Guy in the third Minigames destroy the animatronics. He want them to be free, but they mistaken him as the murderer of them and let him die in the Springtrap suit. I also think Michael and esspecially his father are able to switch bodies, after the rot to the core. They could be everyone ( and it’s funny, if you remember the teaser with “ There is a little of me in every body “ ). Oh, if you think it’s just an theorie, that Michael destroy the bodies to set them free, in the final cutscene Michael himself revealed, that they “ didn’t recognize him in the first place “.Michael gets fired from his first job, in Five Nights at Freddy’s 1, because of Odor and tampering with the animatronics. Now, it’s obvious what I mean. Because he wanted to help and he’s just a rotten puppet of Ennard / William himself. He also said “ IT’S ME, Michael “ and we all know where this come from. He came back, he always does and he is still here. All make sense now. William loses his little girl and we all knew, fathers be like “ oh, this is my little princess and my precious little sunshine “. He never forgets what happened and learns how to deal with it. The little brother, yeah, I think this isn’t clear yet, but I think he was totured by his own father in this underground thing and his brothers didn’t know this, bullied him for fun, not knowing the real pain of the little one. Both children “ chose “ the same way to die, by animatronics. “ I will put you back together “ is just a try from William ( and maybe Michael ) to fix them, but they’ll never be the same as before. At least, he killed his own son and going more and more insane and the end of the final cutscene could be “ I’ll find you to end this one, big mistake “.
Now, the storyline:
# Fredbear’s Family Diner / The Sister Location - Williams children were killed by the animatronics, shortly after that he became a killer
# Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 “ The ‘87 Location “ - Jeremy could be the only one, who wasn’t ever involved in all this, but he was another victim, because he worked for the company ( and maybe Afton ). Fritz, but this isn’t canon, could be Michael too, because he was fired with the exact same reasons.
# Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 “ The 30 years after the Fazbear accident “ Location - Michael was trapped ( not only in Spring Bonnie ) in a room, were released after this long time and now wanted to hunt his father down. William had set the location on fire, but his son survived ( the whole content of the final cutscene ).
And, of course, there is more, but it explains a lot about the whole lore. And I’m glad I can share it with you guys, with the whole community. :)
Sorry for the wall of text, but this is my or our statement and I hope you liked it !
Take care and have a good day or evening ♥
