The nightmare was finally going to end, and Michael knew it.

Years of tragedies were finally going to end, there will be no more disappearances of innocents, his father, William Afton, would no longer hurt anyone else, he would no longer come back to life thanks to the fact that he was trapped in that "special" room where the fire would consume it completely and leave no trace of it or the Remnant, and it will be better for everyone if that substance is forever forgotten from existence.

All he heard in his last moments were the piercing and metallic screams of his father on the other side of the door where Michael had locked him so he wouldn't escape, he watched silently as the flames grew and grew more and more, and the last voice that at least he was comforted by Henry's, explaining in his recording that everything was going to end for all those who suffered by William's hand.

Michael only wanted to at least be by Henry's side in his last moments, but he had to move the animatronics away from his office so that at least this way, the man would have a peaceful and undisturbed death.

"MICHAEL! MICHAEL, DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!

.

.

.

"MICHAEL, GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

.

.

.

"THAT'S AN ORDER! I AM YOUR FATHER!"

.

.

.

"LET ME OUT! MICHAEL!"

.

Michael did not want to hear his father's screams, but it was inevitable, it seems that his death would not be as calm as Henry's, in the end he will die with the screams of the animatronics, that both his father and Henry created, next to yours. It seemed somewhat poetic, Michael will die next to the monsters that he both wanted to flee, as well as want to destroy. In the end his past caught up with him after all.

As soon as the flames reached his body, he didn't say a word, he didn't even cry in pain or anything like that. He just let the heat of the fire devour him little by little.

Michael found it somewhat funny, after becoming undead because of the Remnant, he remembered all his accidents that were surely serious enough to end up dead, while his body regenerated he suffered blows, accidents, stabbings, burns, shots, and among other things that should have killed him a long time ago, the Scooper was his last agony when he was still a normal human, plus the fact of having animatronics inside his body for a while, but this fire that he was suffering no longer made him feel anything not at all, I just felt calm. He was already tired of so much pain anyway, it was logical for him to now feel an absolute relaxation that was like a strong anesthesia for his body.

At least that's what he felt in his last moments, after all, very soon he will have to accompany his father to hell after all the mistakes he made in the past.

Before his world darkened, he only wished that the souls of his brothers, as well as Charlie's soul and that of the other children, managed to reach the other side so that they could be at peace.

- Finally... it's all over... - that was the last thing he said as he looked sideways at the door where he locked his father - I'm sorry... - the apology seemed not to be for himself, but for those who failed him in the past, you know that he will not receive an answer, but at least he tries, he tries one last time.

The flames blinded her sight and as if sleepy, her vision darkened.

Michael opened his eyes and the only thing he saw around him was absolute darkness, everything was silent, there was no one around, but despite how dark it looked, he could see himself, it was like being locked in a dark room where he was The only thing you could see was only your silhouette. Michael was not afraid, the silence of the place where he was did not make him feel afraid, but made him feel calm, it was like stopping thinking and feeling a calm never before experienced by many humans. But still, he felt lonely...

- What is this...? – Michael got up and looked around, without anything, not a sound, not even a breath of wind or something like that - Is this hell? Or my own purgatory...? –

Michael didn't know where to go, and assuming he saw the darkest part of the place, he decided to go there, so he could walk aimlessly in the dark all alone.

-Wait! – someone shouted, it sounded small and childish, but also familiar, quite familiar, I hadn't heard that voice in a long time. Michael didn't look back, but if he stood still, a small hand gently touched his, the touch warm - Where are you going? –

Michael looks down, sees Charlie Emily herself behind him, she was exactly the same age she died, but she was no longer a sad, gray soul with black tears coming out of her eyes, now she had a bright aura, her personality cheerful seemed to have returned, she did not stop looking him directly in the eyes. Charlie's look let Michael know he was doing something wrong.

-Charlie...? – Michael wants to hug her, but his confusion prevented him, besides, he didn't know what would happen if he touched Charlie in this strange place.

- Mikey, why are you going there? The light is on this side - Charlie pulled the sleeve of his uniform a little and suddenly pointed to a side that suddenly lit up, the light dazzled him a bit, but the light made him feel good and warm, something he had not felt in a long time ago.

But Michael shakes his head, staring at Charlie as he looked at her sadly, not for her, but for himself, Michael thinks that Charlie doesn't know the real reason why he doesn't belong to that light side - No, Charlie ...I can't go there with you...or with the others...I can't... - He slowly moved away from her, Charlie gave him a look pleading that he wasn't in that dark and lonely place.

- Why not? – A new voice appears, this one was also small and feminine, and quite familiar to Michael, he will never forget that cheerful and childish voice. Turning around, he could see his younger sister, Elizabeth. There she was like the same day he saw her for the last time, she was wearing her favorite dress, her long orange hair was well combed and a red bow adorned her head while forming a bow as an ornament. In the same way as Charlie, she also looks at him confused and silently begging him to go towards the light with the others - Aren't you going to join us? There's everyone waiting for us, don't you want to go? –

Michael looks at his sister, he wanted to tell Elizabeth that he wanted to go to that place with light, but after everything he did in the past, he really doubted that he would be welcome in that place - Believe me, I would, Eli – He affectionately caresses his sister's cheek – But I did a lot of bad things... - now he places his hand on his sister's shoulder and looks at her with a broken and regretful look – I did bad things, Elizabeth... - it looked like Michael was going to cry , his sister looks at him confused, in life he had hardly ever seen his older brother so sad - And I couldn't save you before, many people died because of me... I really doubt that I can go to that light with you, I can't... -

- But none of that was your fault, brother - Michael freezes at the new voice he heard behind him, he slowly looked back and next to Charlie was the soul he never thought he would see again. There, with the two girls small in stature, was their little brother Evan, Michael wanted to cry now seriously, there was his little brother with a healthy and innocent appearance, he no longer seemed to be that ghost child crying daily and yelling that he wanted to get out of that dark place while he was trapped in the Fredbear/Golden Freddy suit in Fazbear's pizzeria. Evan went back to being that happy and adorable boy that Michael remembered very well before he began to treat him badly just because he let himself be guided by his anger towards his father - You did nothing wrong -

Michael drops to the ground completely destroyed when he sees his little brother again - Nothing bad...? – Michael denies as his tears slipped down his face – You died because of me... I killed you with my own hands... - then he looks at Elizabeth, who stood next to Evan – Elizabeth died because of me, if only she I would have taken better care, maybe the Baby program wouldn't have killed her - then look at Charlie - If only I had stayed by your side during your party, maybe those kids wouldn't have bothered you and they wouldn't leave you locked outside the pizzeria and then being murdered by my father ... - when he mentioned the word "father", he seemed to say it with a lot of anger and contempt, and by all rights Michael deserved to say it like that - It was all my fault... - he sobbed even more as he buried his face in his hands.

Evan suddenly mentions - But you tried to improve, and some things weren't even your fault. Papa only told you that to make you feel bad –

- Unlike your father, you tried to make amends, you tried to save people, you wanted to help both the living and those who died at the hands of your father. It may not fix some things you did in the past, but... at least it makes you a good man – Charlie mentions as he gave Michael a sincere smile.

- Dad did bad things, but that doesn't mean you're the same as him. You're better than dad, Michael. And it's not your fault that I died, I disobeyed, I let my curiosity get the better of me and I got trapped. Besides, dad had to make sure that at least Baby didn't kill his own children, in fact, I don't think he ever cared about that, after all I saw from the eyes of the souls he killed, I doubt very much that he ever loved any of them. of their own children. He already knew I was inside Baby, but he didn't care about me and left me there, but you didn't want to leave me, not even when Ennard pierced you with that thing that destroys animatronics, after we left your body, you kept looking for us to free us Elizabeth says, remembering all those painful moments when she was inside Baby and Ennard.

- And unlike dad... you didn't leave my side in the hospital after the accident... - Evan approaches his brother and forces Michael to look at the three of them in the eye - You took care of me while I was in a coma... Day and night I felt how you took care of me and I heard how much you apologized to me, you didn't give up on me and even thought that I might have a chance to wake up, but dad forced the doctors to disconnect me just because he said it would be better for me, you tried to change me of opinion but he never listened to you. Tell me what kind of parent forces doctors to pull the plug on their child while letting the other take the blame? –

- And you don't have to feel guilty for my death – Charlie says as he approaches Michael – Even if you were by my side, you couldn't do anything to prevent your father from murdering me for pleasure. You didn't even know he was doing that kind of thing, not even my dad -

- But I... - Michael still refuses to understand, but then he felt his brother's little arms around his neck to hug him.

- Brother, I forgave you a long time ago... but I would like you to forgive yourself, I don't want you to leave again, please... - Evan seems to be begging his brother to leave the guilt behind and forgive himself like this same to finally be all together.

- I'm really sorry... - Michael looks towards the dark area and then to the light side, Evan, Elizabeth and Charlie are still standing there waiting for him.

- Come on, Mikey – Evan offers his hand once more towards his brother – Let's go towards the light together –

Michael reflects once more, and has finally made his decision. He will no longer look back at his dark past, now that he finally has the opportunity to be at peace with himself, he will not waste it for nothing. Michael takes Evan's hand and Elizabeth and Charlie help him to his feet as the three children guide him into the light.

The four of them walk together towards the light, Michael keeps looking at the three children, he just lets them guide him to a better place.

Maybe after all, Michael did deserve the light along with the others.
