Think about others.

      The Rockstar Row for Gregory looked the same as at the very beginning. Almost nothing has changed since the moment he let Freddy out of his room. The only thing that changed was that there was no rumble from Monty's room.       «It looks like he's looking for me elsewhere…» – Gregory's mind was racing: «Well… that's lucky. At least he won't interfere with the search».       The boy was still resolutely looking for this door with a ladder up behind it, but about a minute had already passed, and he still couldn't find it. This is despite the fact that he moved around this room quite quickly. The boy managed to make a circle around it, but only after another 10 seconds he found a door in the wall near the stage. He finally ran up there, put a pass to it, after which it opened in front of him. Behind it was the same iron lattice staircase leading up.       «And you've been right in front of me all this time?» – Gregory was talking to himself in mind with an irritated face: «Well… I'm glad that I've already found it».       The boy ran up the stairs. He reached the top floor quickly, after which he met a catwalk that led to 2 doors with some images of musical instruments. The boy entered the right and finally found himself in this security office. It was quite extensive, and in the center, there was a wall with a large number of control panels. Although, it was the same on the walls of the room itself. Everything was in the equipment and monitors with cameras.       «What kind of dispatch center?» – thought Gregory: «And why is it possible to enter it with only the 2nd level of access?.. Um, yeah. Organization!»       The boy grinned a little at these thoughts, but then regained his seriousness, continuing to explore the territory with the search for a pass and a stage control device.       After walking around the room for a while, he found that there were 4 exits from the office and on each of them, for some reason, there was an image of different musical instruments, as well as buttons near them, which, as it seemed to the boy, were needed to open and close them. In addition, a container in the form of Freddy's head was found, which should have contained a pass. It was lying on a table near the wall. There were also donuts on this table. Perhaps if the boy hadn't been hungry, he wouldn't even have paid attention to them, but they just flashed before his eyes.       Gregory: «What?.. Seducing me, right?» – he spoke a little jokingly, looking at the food: «But not… I'm not here for you right now».       After that, the boy went up to the miniature head of the Fazbear and pressed his nose. As always, it opened and contained a level 3 access pass with some kind of disk on which was the inscription: “Showtime”. He took both items and put them in his pocket, then closed the container again.       Gregory: «So-o… and where is the stage control device?» – the boy asked himself.       He started to look around, but didn't really notice anything that looked like this device. The boy began to walk around this room in search of him, but after 5 seconds of adventures, the alarm system screeched and all the doors were blocked.       Gregory: «Ho-ho! Who's that Pokémon?» – the boy said a little jokingly with some surprise.       Next, he ran behind the central wall to the doors and tried to press the button to open it, but sparks came out of the door, and then it was completely enveloped in electric toque. The boy ran back a little from it.       Gregory: «What the?..» – before he could finish, a familiar voice came from the monitors behind him:       [Freddy: «Gregory, I can hear the alarm. As I understand it, you are already in that security office. I do not know why, but after all this, I can safely contact you. It looks like you have somehow reconnected now… Thank you»].       Fazbear's face was on the monitors.       Gregory: «Crap! How did you end up here? Oh! Wait…» – he said at first with bewilderment, and then with understanding.       «So… and can he hear me?» – the boy was thinking, but his thoughts were interrupted by Fazbear:       [Freddy: «I have access to almost everything, Gregory. So that is normal»].       «But of course!..» – the boy thought and smiled at these thoughts: «It's Freddy. Oh! Or even so! “#You’reFreddy”!» – after that, he couldn't stand it and started laughing.       The bear noticed this and started asking him, smiling a little:       [Freddy: «What is so funny?»]       Gregory: «Never mind, this is me just…» – he spoke barely through laughter, but still continued: «About my own. You're brilliant!» – after which the boy burst into even more laughter.       Fazbear also laughed awkwardly in response, clearly not understanding the boy's reaction. They would have continued to have fun like that, but after 3 seconds, heavy knocks began to be heard from the doors on the left and right. The boy started up and looked at the right monitor, which was connected to the camera behind the doors on the right side. Monty was there, and he was knocking on the door closest to the boy. After that, the boy quickly looked back at the left monitor and there was also Roxy scratching the door closest to him. Panic surged through the boy.       Gregory: «Damn! Freddy, I'm surrounded by Roxy and Monty. How can I get out of this office? Is there some kind of emergency exit here?» – he rattled off quickly.       [Freddy: «So-o… really… you're surrounded. But listen carefully! Below you – on the floor, there is ventilation. You might even be standing on it. Look around»].       After these words, the boy looked at the floor and saw a grille next to him. It really was ventilation. He ran up to her and looked down through the lattice. It was about 5 meters high, if not more. The boy was a little taken aback.       Gregory: «Freddy, are you serious? I'm going to crash to hell if I jump out of here!» – the boy said displeased, but his words were picked up by the animatronic.       [Freddy: «I have not finished yet. I will run right there and pick you up when you come down. But since all the doors are locked, you will have to use the control panels in the office you are in to open the aisles for me. The doors of this office are also equipped with electrical protection. To prevent Roxy and Monty from getting to you by breaking the doors, you will have to stun them with electric shocks using the buttons near the doors»].       «Ah!.. So that's what it was!..» – it flashed through the boy's mind.       Gregory: «Okay! Got it!» – he said in a daze and ran to the right door.       After the boy reached it, he pressed a button next to it, after which a current ran through it, and after that, Monty's growl was immediately heard, who stopped knocking on the door because of the stun. He was going to do the same thing with the door near which Roxy was, but he was stopped by the image of Vanny on the monitors. She approached the screen the same way as before and said:       [Vanny: «See you soon!..»] – and, after a few seconds, disappeared from the screen.       The bear returned to the screen again. His face was worried.       [Freddy: «Gregory! I can't stop her! Hurry up!»] – he said in a panicked tone, after which all the monitors switched to different cameras.       «Oh! Are you serious?» – it flashed through the boy's mind: «What kind of combo is that, huh?»       After these thoughts, his face became displeased, and he began to sink into himself a little mentally, but then he returned to reality and began to look at the monitors. Fazbear was standing in front of one of the cameras and waving his arms, drawing attention to himself.       [Freddy: «I am here!»] – he was talking, waving his paws near the door.       After that, the boy ran up to that monitor and pressed the button to open access to the door. It opened, and the bear immediately ran in there. Next, the boy ran towards the door with Roxy and pressed the button for an electric shock. On camera, she jumped away from the door, screaming a little and twitching a little. Gregory didn't like to look at it. He was sincerely sorry that he had to do this to them.       Gregory: «Sorry! But it's for your own good!» – he shouted a little and ran to the central monitors.       The boy ran up to the center just in time, as Fazbear was waiting for him at the next door at that time. The boy immediately opened the door for him, and the bear ran behind it again. After that, the boy rested for 3 seconds, and remembered something:       «Damn! I forgot about Chica!..» – Gregory thought: «I need to connect with her».       The boy reached for his watch and urgently called her. They got in touch quickly. He didn't have time to say anything first, as a loud voice immediately came from the watch:       [Chica: «Gregory!!! Oh my God! Where are you?! Are you all right?!»] – she asked him in raised tones.       Gregory: «All right!» – he cut off seriously her and continued: «It's good that you're okay! Listen carefully, Chica! Get in touch with Freddy urgently so that he will give you instructions on what to do. If you can hear the alarm and know where it's coming from, then I'm there. But before you come to me…» – the boy was slightly interrupted by Monty's heavy knocks on the far-right door.       Monty: «You can hide. But you cannot hide!» – he shouted mockingly as he continued to knock down the iron door.       The boy continued to talk to Chica, but in slightly more raised tones:       Gregory: «Call Freddy! Urgently!»       [Chica: «Okay!»] – and they broke the connection.       The boy trotted to the door where Monty was and pressed the button to supply electricity to the door. On camera, the animatronic was abruptly pushed away from the door, under his loud growl, and he bent his back, trying to “come to his senses”.       Gregory: «Damn! Why can't you all just calm down? Damn!» – He shouted a little regretfully.       The boy might have wanted to get at least a little understanding from them, but at this point in time they were stubborn and didn't listen to him much. Gregory couldn't blame them for that, because he understood that animatronics couldn't control themselves fully right now.       The boy ran back to the center and searched for Fazbear on the cameras and, after 5 seconds of searching, ran up to one of the monitors, after which he opened the door to the bear. Then the boy immediately ran to the left door, knowing in advance that Roxy would rush there now. Running up there, he saw on camera that she had already gone to the far door and, swinging, was going to scratch it. At that moment, the boy pressed the button. The door sparkled again. Wolf jerked away from the door without touching it.       Gregory: «Well, thank God», – he muttered to himself, and then started shouting to her: «Roxy, will you calm down?! Let's just!..» – before the boy could finish, she interrupted him:       Roxy: «Oh, you are nothing!» – the wolf screamed and knocked hard on the door under the current.       After that, she screamed in “pain” in anger and barely moved away from the door, which had already stopped electrocuting her. She cowered, her arms hanging over the floor, and was beginning to regain her condition a little bit at a time.       Gregory: «Why are you so?!.. Damn it!» – he shouted to her and ran to the center.       At first, the boy wanted to say bad things about her, but then he dropped the case. Something told him at the end that it would be wrong.       After he ran up to the center, he saw on one of the monitors Chica along with Freddy, who were waving their arms towards the camera with all their might so that the boy would notice them. Gregory was very happy when he saw them together and didn't hesitate. He urgently pressed the button to open the door. They both ran into the aisle. From the ventilation, one could even hear the muffled footsteps of both animatronics. After a few seconds, they were on the next monitor. Gregory immediately opened the door for them. They ran in there without stopping. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then, finally, a voice was heard from the ventilation:       Freddy: «Gregory, come here! I am going to open the passage now!» – he spoke anxiously from under the ventilation.       The boy immediately ran around the central wall and approached the grille. Fazbear jumped very high up and grabbed it, trying to break it down. The boy was a little taken aback by such a high jump of the bear. After twitching on the grille several times, the bear broke it off and fell to his feet with it, after which he threw the grate aside. After that, he raised his arms slightly, preparing to catch.       Freddy: «Jump, Gregory! I will catch you!» – the bear said a little anxiously.       Gregory: «Um… Freddy! Are you sure it's safe?» – he asked with some fright, looking at the bear.       After that, Chica came up to Fazbear and also stretched her arms up, but slightly lower than the bear.       Chica: «Gregory, don't be afraid! I'll back you up!» – she said hurriedly.       «Crap… Well, my God… Well, why that's so?» – it ran through the boy's mind: «Wasn't it possible to just make some kind of emergency exit?..»       Freddy: «Gregory, hurry up!» – he said excitedly.       The boy was gradually adjusting to this jump. He sat down and swung his legs into the square hole. At this time, Monty had already started knocking hard on the door behind the boy, continuing to knock it out. The boy turned to the iron door, and then returned his gaze to the ventilation hole. Finally, having made up his mind, he said:       Gregory: «Goddamn it!» – then he pushed off and flew down.       For him, the fall lasted about 5 seconds. Everything slowed down for the boy as he fell, although, in fact, he flew to the animatronics' hands, at most, in a second. They carefully picked him up in 4 hands. The landing was extremely soft. The boy only felt 4 hands grabbing his shoulders, and he didn't even feel any impact. After that, he would come to his senses with his eyes wide open. The boy was moving away from this terrible action for him. Gregory was finally safe… But he just didn't know what was waiting for him next…       Chica: «Gregory!» – she said and abruptly hugged the boy to her, at the same time snatching him out of Fazbear's hands: «Thank God you are okay! I was so worried about you! I will not let you go anywhere else», – she spoke, squeezing the boy more and more tightly in her arms.       Gregory: «Chica… you're… going… to strangling me now!» – the boy said hoarsely with the last of his strength.       Chica: «Oh! Sorry!» – she said, pushing him a little away from her, but still holding him in her hands: «I didn't mean to».       The boy took a deep breath and cleared his throat slightly. And Fazbear stood by, laughing a little at the situation.       Gregory: «Phew… It's okay…» – he spoke while recovering his breath, and then calmly continued: «Alright, comrades. Anyway, I found a level 3 pass and some kind of disc that says: “Showtime”. However, alas, I did not find a device for controlling the scene. What should we do next?»       After these words, Fazbear thought for 3 seconds, and then he spoke:       Freddy: «Well, look… this disc will need to be inserted into the DJ's place. After that, technically, the performance will begin and it will be possible to control the stage directly from it. His very place is on the 3rd floor of the atrium – right in front of the stage, that is, in the middle of the floor. So… we will just have to work a little bit to get down. But it is not that difficult. We are not that far from the stage, therefore follow me. Let's not waste time», – he said and strode into the corridor, limping on his left leg and holding his “heart” with his right hand.       Everyone else followed him… Well… or… more precisely… Chica went after him with Gregory in her arms.       Gregory: «Um… Maybe I'll go too?» – he asked uncertainly, looking up at her.       Chica: «A little bit later», – she spoke a little sternly, without slowing down.       Gregory: «Well…» – the boy said, turning his head towards the bear.       Looking at Freddy, the boy began to get a little scared of this picture.       «Uh, ye-eah…» – thought Gregory: «His condition is quite bad. We need to hurry up with repairment», – After these thoughts, his face became a little more serious.       They walked through very confusing corridors for about half a minute… Turn by turn, turn by turn! Then to the left, then to the right… It was exhausting enough, but they finally reached the exit of the corridors. The trio went up the stairs and, passing through the door, found themselves right next to the stage. They climbed onto it, after which Fazbear pointed with his right hand to the middle of the 3rd floor and spoke:       Freddy: «Look. There is a DJ's place up there. Get in there and insert the disc. I will wait for you here», – after which, he lowered his hand, cringing a little.       Gregory: «Okay. Chica, let's go normally already?» – the boy was talking that, looking from the bear to her.       Chica: «Alright», – she said calmly, after which she put the boy on the floor, and immediately took his hand.       The two descended from the stage and started walking at a fast pace through the atrium.       In itself, this place looked interesting. There were dining tables in the center, and a large number of attractions surrounded them from all sides: Fazer Blast, Monty's Gator Golf, Roxy Raceway, Bonnie Bowl on the 3rd floor and others. There were also a large number of small and medium-sized shops around, along with cafes. The atrium itself was simply huge. If someone had tried to bypass it completely, looking into every corner of it and examining every floor, while not even entering the attractions and shops, it would probably have taken about half an hour, perhaps more, but this isn't for sure.       Let's go back to Chica and Gregory. They walked along the sides of the atrium behind the photo booths so as not to attract the attention of the security bots. Moreover, as it turned out, Monty was also standing at a post with a searchlight on the roof of some red structure, open from all sides. He shining on the dining tables, examining every small detail.       Monty: «Hey Kid, come on out. We're only trying to help», – he spoke loudly, but calmly at the same time.       Gregory: «Aha!» – the boy retorted in a whisper to Chica: «Of course, I already believed it!.. I've already seen your help», – the boy spoke with displeasure.       She only chuckled softly at his speech and kept walking.       Chica led the boy carefully, sometimes hiding him behind her at critical moments. They moved closer and closer to the escalators leading to the upper floors.       Finally, after 2 minutes, they made their way to the escalators, and then went up them. Roxy was patrolling on the 2nd floor. It was already a little harder to get past her here, as there was too much open space. Fortunately, the wolf patrolled only the photo booths, walking around them. They carefully walked together to the escalators, which, as if for evil, were just near the photo booths. Chica hid Gregory behind her for the entire second floor. After that, they stopped 10-15 meters from the photo booths and waited for Roxy to walk around them so that they didn’t fall into her field of vision. 10 seconds later, she walked behind the photo booth. Chica took the boy in her arms, hugging him to her, and then quickly and, at the same time, as quietly as possible, went to the escalators. After that, she continued to carry him, climbing up them.       Roxy: «You think you're better than me?» – the wolf spoke loudly and discontentedly in the distance, digging in the photo booths.       «Damn! How selfish and narcissistic she is!» – it flashed through the boy's mind.       Gregory: «U-uh, yeah…» – only this escaped from his thoughts in the form of a whisper.       After another 3 minutes of hanging out on the 2nd floor, they finally reached the 3rd floor. There, Chica put the boy on the floor again and began to lead him by the hand to the DJ's place at a fast pace. It was easiest here, since no one was in the way, except for the security bots. They reached their destination in 20 seconds, after which she let go of the boy's hand.       Chica: «Well, here we are. Now put a performance disc in that circle over there», – she spoke and pointed with her finger at the place for the disc.       Gregory: «Affirmative. Thanks», – he spoke and walked towards that device.       When the boy approached him, he took out of his pocket the very disc for the performance, then inserted it into the circle and pressed the start button in this device. After that, a second later, holograms of all 4 animatronics appeared on the stage in full growth and the main music of the mascots played for the whole room. They were carrying musical instruments and each of them moved in their own way, though in slow motion:       Monty was tapping on the bass guitar and playing it a little, while swaying from side to side with his whole body and tapping the floor with his right foot, and he also smiled a little at the audience;       Roxy played the keyboard guitar and, apparently, sang along a little, rocking back and forth, and just like Montgomery, tapped her foot on the floor;       Chica played a simple electric guitar in the shape of a star, watching with her eyes every movement of the strings and at the same time swaying her body a little to the rhythm;       Freddy, who was holding a microphone on a bracket and singing something into it, rocking back and forth with it.       It all looked quite fascinating for a boy. The only thing he could say was:       Gregory: «Wow!..»       Chica was only touched and chuckled at his gaze on this beauty. At that moment, the boy's watch received a call, which he immediately answered.       [Freddy: «Well done, superstars! Now come back here to the stage. A stage control panel has appeared here, which will send the stage down. I am waiting for you»].       Gregory: «Accepted! We'll be there soon…» – he said and cut the connection.       The boy would have stared at these holograms until he was blue in the face, but he had to go to Fazbear and help him.       Gregory: «Well, Chica, let's go back», – he was talking that as he approached her.       2 steps away from her, he was led a little to the side. Chica was a little startled by this. Nausea was coming to the boy again, along with interferences in his eyes and ringing in his ears.       «But how did she end up here?» – he thought.       The boy put his right hand on his head and began to approach her again.       Gregory: «Damn… It's even better to run», – the boy spoke listlessly.       Chica: «Are you all right?» – she said worriedly and walked up to the boy.       Gregory: «Chica, we urgently need to get out of here before she grabs us… I feel her», – he spoke with a slight crouch.       Chica: «Okay! We'll be going soon!» – she spoke worriedly and quickly picked up the boy in her arms, hugging him to her, after which she ran back towards the escalators.       As they approached them, the unpleasant feelings lessened their effect on the boy.       Gregory: «Thank god! She's not in front of us. We're leaving her», – he spoke to her with some relief.       Chica, without slowing down, ran down the escalators to the 2nd floor. Fortunately, Roxy was no longer on it, so they easily made it to the next descent. Thus, they got from the 3rd floor to the 1st in just a minute, but then abruptly stopped… It was on this floor that everyone crowded. Roxy was circling the dining tables, and Monty was pacing back and forth near the stage. Chica hid the boy behind her back, while holding him in her arms, and told him seriously:       Chica: «Hold on tight».       Gregory: «Okay», – he answered softly and grabbed her.       They moved quietly around the corners of the atrium, passing by dining tables and photo booths. Fortunately, the wolf was walking on the opposite side from them. They could only hear from her sometimes something like… sniffing? Um, yeah… This made the boy a little uneasy. She decided to look into one of the photo booths on the other side, but, as always, she didn't find anyone.       Roxy: «Sneak away, little coward», – she spoke after that with mockery, but at the same time you could feel the notes of anger in her voice.       And these two at this time just calmly and quietly walked around all the photo booths and finally reached the place intended for the audience so that they could stand and look at the scene with animatronics. It was in this place that Monty walked around. Fortunately, he walked away from them and didn't look at the two. With the help of loud music in the room, they made their way to the stage noiselessly for the others and, already there, Chica lowered the boy to the ground in front of her. The bear was waiting for them right there near the control panel.       Freddy: «Alright! Go!» – he said and pressed one of the buttons on the control panel, after which the stage began to descend, raising fences at the edges.       They, with acceleration to a certain speed, began to slowly descend.       Freddy: «Well done, guys! You did it fast enough! We will be there soon», – he spoke joyfully.       Everything was favorable, when suddenly, don't understand how, the Moon came out from under the stage and hung on it, waving at the boy.       Gregory: «Moon?..» – the boy asked in surprise, looking at him.       At this, the Daycare Attendant simply jumped off the stage, disappearing from their field of view.       Freddy: «We forgot about the Daycare Attendant's rounds. It is 02:55 AM now. We need to hurry to the charging station», – he spoke restlessly and in a slightly drooping tone.       The stage just at this time smoothly descended to the stop, while removing the fence at the edges.       Freddy: «Follow me», – the bear said and limped at a fast pace through the technical corridors.       Everyone followed him at the same pace.       They walked for a long time under the evil laughter of the Moon from behind. The trio didn't stop for a second so that the boy would not be caught. Chica sometimes looked around, looking for the animatronic with her eyes, but he was nowhere to be seen. Only occasionally could his angry, hoarse voice be heard.       After a little less than a minute of walking along the forks in the corridors, they reached the charging station without incident.       Freddy: «Get in there together, and I will find another one in the meantime».       Chica and Gregory obediently went to it. Before they were about to enter it, she took the boy in her arms, and only then did they enter the station, closing it behind them. The two turned towards her window and, just at that moment, a crash was heard outside. They both looked through the glass and saw that Freddy was lying on the floor unconscious, and Moon was holding his legs, pulling him along. Seeing two of them in the window, the Daycare Attendant slowly waved to them.       Gregory: «Moon, what are you doing?» – he asked in perplexity.       After that, the Daycare Attendant continued to drag the bear away with him.       Gregory: «Stop!» – the boy screamed in despair and pounded on the window with his hands: «Don't touch him! Come back!»       Next, the boy turned to the one holding him in his arms and began to speak to her decisively:       Gregory: «Chica, we need to get out! We can't leave him!»       Chica: «Gregory, calm down…» – she said a little sadly.       Gregory: «Calm down?!» – the boy asked that in surprise: «Chica, we're going to lose him now! Let me out of here!» – he spoke restlessly.       Chica, after these words, only slightly turned her gaze away from him.       Gregory: «Oh! Come on, my God! I'll go myself then! Release!» – he was demanding.       But Chica stood still, thinking about something, and didn't say anything to him.       Gregory: «Come on, damn it, huh!» – he said and tried to get out of her grip, but she only pulled him closer to her: «Chica! Well, what are!.. you!..» – the boy spoke frantically, while trying harder and harder to get out of her hands, but in vain: «But why?!.. Why are you standing and?!.. Doing nothing?!..» – he spoke with resentment already, after which he went limp in her grip and began to sob.       Chica: «Gregory…» – she spoke in a soothing tone.       Gregory: «Chica… but we gave the Moon our Freddy to… to be torn to pieces…» – he spoke through tears.       Chica: «Gregory…» – she still insisted.       Gregory: «And you didn't even… even do anything!.. Well, how!.. Is it?..» – more and more, the boy went into a sense of hopelessness.       Chica: «Gregory!» – she said with a note of displeasure and turned the boy to face her.       Gregory: «What?!» – with even more displeasure than hers, he asked her and began to move away from crying.       Chica: «First of all, it would be too dangerous for you! I have already let you go in the kitchen once, and then you went missing! I will not let you go to the mercy of fate a second time!» – she spoke with displeasure and decisively, while with concern.       Gregory: «But I told you that I can stand up for myself! I'm still alive!» – the boy answered stubbornly to her.       Chica: «And what would have happened to you if we hadn't come for you and picked you up in the ventilation?» – she asked more calmly, but reproachfully.       Gregory: «I don't know now. But then I'd have found a way out! And I'm sure of it!» – the boy was still telling her stubbornly.       Chica: «Well, you know, you shouldn't rely on luck here!» – she spoke with even more displeasure.       Gregory: «Well, okay there, but here!.. We abandoned him! You can't do that to friends! He wouldn't leave us like that!» – the boy spoke with discontent and resentment: «Well, and how is he supposed to treat us now? And I'll tell you how…» – the boy said and made a heavy, long pause, after which he continued, looking straight into her eyes: «How to betrayers!» – he said this in a low, fierce tone and turned away.       Chica: «And here we are just moving on to the second one, Gregory», – she spoke more calmly: «Freddy made sure that the two of us did not get caught. He made sure that at least one of us remained conscious. And so… we would all just died very heroically and nothing more», – she said a little with a grin: «And do we really need this?»       The boy was perplexed by this speech and directed his gaze at her.       Chica: «And finally, who told you that we abandoned him?» – she asked, looking into the boy's eyes with a smile, but without waiting for an answer, she continued: «We will definitely have to come back for him. Moreover, he was probably just taken to the spare parts and maintenance department. The Moon is unlikely to harm him. So… don't worry. All for the best!» – she spoke soothingly.       Anger, guilt, and understanding bubbled up in the boy. He was trying to digest everything she had said.       Gregory: «Damn…» – the boy said and paused for a while: «But you're… right», – the boy was talking that, scratching his head and turning away from Chica, and then he began to curl up into a ball: «I'm sorry, please, for saying all sorts of things to you. I'm still a bit slow-witted», – he said with a feeling of guilt and put both his hands to his head, holding his hair tightly.       She just laughed a little and started talking:       Chica: «Don't apologize. Everything is fine. I understand you».       Gregory: «No, really… still…» – before he could finish, he was interrupted:       Chica: «Gregory… calm down… Everything is fine!» – she spoke calmly, stroking the boy's head.       The boy hesitated a little, and then straightened up and just hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go of the animatronic. She just responded to his embrace with her own, continuing to stroke his head.       After another 30 seconds, they left the charging station without letting go of each other. The two headed towards the vertically opening gates that lead to the location with the endoskeletons.       Gregory: «Chica, where are we going?» – he asked calmly.       Chica: «Before we go to the parts and service department, you need to have a level 4 pass. And it will be possible to get it in the security office, which is just not far from here», – she explained calmly.       Gregory: «Understood», – the boy said and stopped hugging her: «Then let's go like this?» – he said and pointed to the floor with his hand.       Chica: «No. Right now, you better stay close to me so that you do not get pestered by endoskeletons».       Gregory: «Endoskeletons? Who is this?» – he asked with interest.       Chica: «Well… it is like you – people – have skeletons. Only we still have some kind of AI in each endoskeleton, that is, a mind. Therefore, due to the virus in the establishment, you would better stay close to me», – she spoke seriously.       Gregory: «Okay», – the boy said affirmatively.       They moved towards the vertical gate, which rose up when they arrived at it. Then Chica went inside and went with the boy into the dark technical corridors. She began to open one thick iron door after another with the help of control panels. By the way, on peace door there were pictures of endoskeletons and people near them, to whom they sometimes slip a first-aid kit, then help with something else. Each of these images had checkmarks that were strangely crossed out with purple crosses or lines. There was even a bunny painted in the same color on the last door. The boy, of course, didn't quite understand what this meant, but he could imagine a little that something was wrong here. He made a note in mind of it, just in case.       So, they reached the security office in 5 minutes, without disturbing any of the endoskeletons. The two approached the security desk, after which the animatronic put the boy on the floor so that he could take the pass.       Chica: «Take it away and we will go find Freddy», – she spoke calmly, while cautiously looking back at the endoskeletons.       Gregory: «Okay», – he said and walked over to the table.       It had a miniature Fazbear's head on it. The boy, as always, pressed on his nose, after which the container opened. From there, he took a level 4 security pass, put it in his pocket, closed the container and went to Chica.       Gregory: «Done!» – he said softly with some joy.       Chica: «Great! Are working further…» – she said jokingly and took the boy in her arms.       The way back was no longer as confusing as the route here, since all the doors were already open. Therefore, both of them went out in a straight line to the vertical gate and went through it again. Everything about everything took about a minute. They walked towards the doors of the parts and service department. After they got there, they opened the first door, but then they heard someone talking behind the second door, which led to the department itself. The two started up and hid a little near the wall, while looking out of the window a little.       Vanessa: «So, you say you haven't seen the boy?» – she asked, drawing out the letters in the words.       Freddy: «No, officer Vanessa», – the bear spoke very calmly.       The guard was standing in front of him, and he himself was lying on some kind of cot, located in some kind of iron cylinder. His head was detached from his body. Thus, he was immobilized. What pleased the boy was that it was repaired (everything was put in its place, including the jaw). For this, Gregory was, in a way, grateful to the unknown repairman.       Vanessa: «So that's how it’s…» – she spoke with some suspicion: «So you haven't seen Gregory… Oh! By the way, do you know how I found out his name?» – she said, raising her arms up, and then crossing them over her bust: «I could hear you talking all the time. Gregory do this… Gregory do that!.. And there was your voice! Exactly yours! It's very nice, yeah?» – she retorted with displeasure.       Freddy: «Officer Vanessa, all the Faz-Watches sound like me. It is the default voice option», – the bear was still talking calmly.       Vanessa: «Um, yeah…» – she spoke distantly: «In any case, I'll not be able to let this boy go from here, since he isn't in the database, and, accordingly, I simply have no one to give him to. So… he'll have to be left here until the proceedings about who he is begin», – she finished without a single emotion.       Freddy: «Well. I can help you find him, Officer Vanessa!» – he said a little joyfully.       Vanessa: «Well, no… You're staying here. You've already done such things this night that it'll be difficult to sort them out even in 2 days. At least you won't interfere with our work. And look, Freddy… if God forbid you hid something from me, then you're going to the dump! And your shell will be changed into a new endoskeleton. But in the meantime… rest», – she said and calmly moved towards the stairs leading to the 4 doors, with images of 4 mascots, respectively.       Freddy: «Officer Vanessa, do not leave me like this!» – the bear spoke with despair.       The guard didn't listen to him and just walked through the door with Roxanne's sign and disappeared from everyone's sight.       Gregory: «Um, yeah…» – he spoke with some displeasure.       Chica: «Well… Let's go to him», – she said and moved with the boy in her arms to the second door.       After they entered, Fazbear greeted them.       Freddy: «Finally, you have come!» – he said joyfully: «I already thought that I would stay like this here forever!.. Please help me connect my head to my body», – the bear spoke more calmly.       After the two came closer to the cylinder, Chica released the boy and put him on the floor. He began to approach Fazbear.       Gregory: «Thank God you're okay!» – he said a little anxiously, and then continued: «Let's start connecting now… But only how?»       Freddy: «Well, look: there should be a terminal near the protective cylinder that can set a repair or improvement program. There you select the desired item… Then follow the instructions. Only according to the instructions! Do not make mistakes. I am a little out of my mind right now…» – he spoke with some excitement.       Gregory: «Okay!» – he said in a cheerful tone and walked over to the terminal, turning it on.       After that, some kind of sound signal was played, indicating successful activation. Next, a list of 4 items appeared on the terminal monitor:

“Power upgrade”,

“Claws upgrade (unavailable)”,

“Voice box upgrade (unavailable)”,

“Ocular upgrade (unavailable)”.

      After that, a voice similar to that of the intercom began broadcasting throughout the room:       Dread unit: «Select one of the programs».       Gregory: «Well… there is only one variant available: “Power upgrade”. Well and… it's probably for the best».       Freddy: «Good. That is exactly what you need».       The boy used a kind of keypad to select the above item.       Dread unit: «Great! The animatronic will be turned off for the duration of the operation. Step into the protective cylinder and follow the instructions. Making mistakes – not recommended».       After these words, the cylinder door opened. The boy was about to go inside, but he was stopped by the hand.       Chica: «Gregory», – she asked with a little excitement.       Gregory: «Ah? What?» – he asked a little surprised.       Chica: «If you suddenly forget the sequence or something else, then contact me. I will give you a hint», – she spoke softly, but still with excitement.       Gregory: «Okay. Thanks», – the boy said, not quite understanding her concern.       Chica: «Be careful».       After these words, she let go of his hand. The boy stood for a while, and then went inside. The cylinder door closed behind him. Chica stood outside the cylinder window and closely watched every movement of his hand.       Dread unit: «Great! Now come closer to the animatronic. The operation will start in 10 seconds».       The boy went to the cot and stood on its right footboard and slightly approached the contact wires on the body and head. After another 3 seconds, the voice continued:       Dread unit: «Connect the wires in the sequence that will be shown to you now».       After that, 4 light bulbs on the Fazbear's body flashed in a scattered sequence, and then went out.       «Um… What the delusion?» – ran through the boy's mind: «U-um, ye-eah… But okay. In a way, it's convenient».       The boy began to connect the wires to the bear's head in this sequence. He did it in just a minute, as the wires inserting like buttons into their sockets. After that, the claw of the unit, which held the head of the Fazbear, inserted the head into the body with an extremely light movement.       Dread unit: «Great! Now we proceed to the debugging stage. Go to the panel with the buttons. It is located at the back. The debugging process will start in 10 seconds».       A rectangular iron panel was stretched out from behind. The boy got off the footboard of the bunk and went to that square. There were 4 buttons of different colors on it. Gregory began to wait for the following instructions…       Dread unit: «Starting the debugging process. Repeat the sequence that will be shown».       After that, the buttons began to light up and go out one by one. The boy had to click on them in the same order.       «Um… And what is the point of this debugging?» – thought Gregory: «I can't even debug anything. I just have to repeat the right sequence… Um, yes… But alright!.. Without a difference…»       Chica: «Give you a hint?» – she spoke through the window, trying to hide her anxiety.       Gregory: «Ah?.. No-no… I was just thinking about my own», – he said as if nothing had happened.       The boy began to repeat the sequence, pressing the buttons in the same order. This process was repeated 4 more times. Thus, it took about a minute and a half to debug.       Dread unit: «Great! The debugging process is completed. Exit the protective cylinder and use the terminal to complete the power upgrading process».       The cylinder opened. After that, the boy immediately ran up to the terminal and selected the “Complete upgrade” item using a special keyboard. After that, the same sound was played as when the terminal was turned on.       Dread unit: «The animatronic is on».       After 10 seconds of lying motionless, Fazbear moved slightly and moved his fingers on his hands, then moved his legs, and then completely sat down on the bunk, dangling his legs. Chica and Gregory were simply glowing with happiness. Their friend was back to normal! The bear got up and exited the protective cylinder, after which the door closed behind him.       Freddy: «Great! Now I'm just like new!» – he said joyfully: «And now, as I understand it, my energy supply was increased, somehow».       Chica: «It's just wonderful!» – she said and came over, hugging him.       The boy just chuckled looking at it, and at the same time enjoyed this moment. All together again!       Freddy & Chica: «What is funny?» – they said in surprise in unison, and then after both said the same thing, they laughed a little.       Chica: «Alright… Come on. Come to us too», – she spoke softly and held out her hand towards the boy.       The boy stood for a while, and then, with the words:       Gregory: «But, well, these are shitheads, huh…» – went up to them.       They only began to smile more after this phrase. Both animatronics, after the boy approached them, pick up him and hugged him in their arms.       And here it's again… Again!.. Again, they hug together, only this time in the parts and service department. The travelers are the ones, however…       So… Gregory is gradually beginning to understand the institution, especially since he already has a fairly high level of access. The boy can already go to almost any important place in the Mega PizzaPlex! Almost everything is going according to plan. But there are still a lot of questions and cases that he still has to solve. And so, they will appear further and further, as they study the situation. But for now… he can relax with friends for a while…
