From the Fazbear Frights story, The real Jake, we know that the voice Simon, the animatronic friend that lives in the cabinet in Jake’s room, comes from Jake’s father, Evan who is speaking through a baby monitor. Later in the book, during the first night after knowing about Evan’s death, Jake’s caretaker hears Jake having a conversation with someone, even though she told him that Simon wouldn’t be coming. Back in Sister location, if the players goes into the office, they can see the golden Freddy plush toy along with a monitor. This leads me to believe that the two different color text palettes that are used at the end of FNAF 4, belong to a kid possessing the Fredbear, and the other one, the one who says “I will put you back together”, belongs to the person speaking on the other end of the walkie-talkie. Now if we take a look back at the Midnight motorist mini game, we know that the crying child broke out of his room by smashing the window and that there are footprints with three toes on the ground. In my previous theory on how Henry and Crying Child could’ve had more of a connection than we realized, I pointed out that the Fredbear springlock suit also has three toes. Now I’m The Real Jake, Jake’s care taker says that once Jake is well enough, he will be able to go over to the cabinet and see Simon in person. What if something very similar is happened with the crying child in that scene? The Crying Child could talk to whoever was on the other side of the walkie-talkie about his father William, how he gets abused by him, and how he’s afraid of the animatronics. When it comes a certain time, the other person on the other end of the walkie-talkie could say something along the lines of “ When (such and such) happens, I will become big enough in order to protect you. I’ll find a way outside your window, and help you escape. We can face our fears together.”

The figure was nothing but shadows. Rabbit ears protruding from it’s head. Nothing but darkness.
“Thank god, it’s almost over,” William smiled.
The shadow rabbit took William’s hand.
Suddenly, they were in Town Square, dreary and damp.
“It’s a shame,” a woman said passing by. “Not like anyone would mourn him.”
“Mourn him?” a man next to her laughed. “I think people are happy he’s finally dead!”
“Someone’s dead?” William asked.
The spirit took him to a pawn shop. A group of people were sharing things.
“I got this from his kitchen,” a man said. He placed several forks, spoons and knives on the table.
“I got some of his clothes,” a different man said. He placed several blazers and dress shirts on the table.
“Amateurs,” a woman smiled. “I got his bedsheets.”
The woman placed several purple sheets and blankets on the table.
“Isn’t his body on the bed!” one guy asked. The woman only smiled like a psychopath.
William looked at the ghost. “I get it. This unmourned guy could be me, can we go now?”
The ghost pointed onward, teleporting the pair into a dimly lit room with a body on it.
“Nope!” William said, showing some small pit of sanity.
He looked over at the spirit. “Ghost, show me who feels something about this man’s death!”
Suddenly they were in an old rundown house. A father walked in and hugged his wife. “The man who killed our son is dead,” he said.”
“Murder? Disease? Benji, you didn’t kill him, did you?”
“Marta, I’m not stupid.”
William looked at the host in slight anger. He felt bad for this man, when the only feelings brought on by his death was joy.
“Ghost, I beg of you. Take me to someone mourning a death tonight.”
In a flash, they were at the McNally household. William quickly counted; Michael, Roxanne, Margie, Evan…
“Where’s Jake?”
Evan and Roxanne hugged in tears. “I can’t keep going like this,” he said.
“Come on, Ev,” Margie hit his back. “Stay strong. It’s what Jake would have wanted.”
William’s hands turned to fists. “Tell me! Tell me who this dead guy is!”
The ghost waved his hand to the door. William walked out into a cemetery. He followed the shadowy rabbit straight to an overgrown grave.
William Afton
1944-1993
William was speechless. Him, no one cared about him. No one bothered to mourn him, only to steal his belongings.
“Spirit, tell me. Is this what will always happen, or can it be changed?”
The ghost was silent.
“Tell me that I can change this! I’ll be better. I promise!”
William woke up. He was in bed. It was morning.
He looked outside the window. A kid passed by, tugging a sleigh.
“Hey you!” the older man shouted. “What day is it?”
“It’s Christmas!” the child said.
William grabbed his coat and pulled out a wad of cash. Bought five hundred dollars.
He threw it towards the kid. “Go to the butcher shop and get the prized turkey on display, and I’ll pay you.”
The kid excitedly grabbed the money and ran to the shop.
“Vanessa, get my coat!”
William stopped by the charity.
“Hello, are donations still open?” he asked Devon when he opened the door.
“Yeah. Why?” Devon was skeptical.
“Just put me down for about two thousand.”
Devon's eyes lit up and he ran inside. “Will do, sir!”
Next stop was the McNally house.
“Is Evan home?” He asked.
Michael called out for his brother. Evan and Jake walked up to the door.
“Who’s this little guy, Ev?” William asked.
“This is my son, Jake.” Evan held Jake close.
“I heard about Jake’s little…condition.”
“And?”
“So I’ve decided to raise your salary and do everything I can to provide for your family.”
“Excuse me!”
“Sir! I got the turkey!”
Final stop, Michael’s party.
William knocked on the door and Michael answered.
“Hey dad. Merry Christmas,” Michael said shyly.
“Merry Christmas son. Tell me, is the party invite still available?”
Michael nodded in excitement and let his father in.
William had never been happier.
(Sorry this one was shorter than my usual series are. I wanted to get this out before Christmas so I could take the 24th and 25th off. Also, credit to @AubergineMan1987 for most of the ideas.)
Vanessa led William into yet another timewarp. When he opened his eyes, he was in the morning. A cheery, snowy morning. Christmas morning.
Kids ran up and down the streets, playing with their nearly unwrapped toys.
William looked at the ghost. “What’s the point of this?”
Vanessa shifted in her floor length black dress. “Follow,” she said simply.
The ghost took Afton to the McNally house, the impoverished home of one of William’s employees, Evan McNally. Evan’s wife Roxanne and his brother Michael are eagerly prepping the table for dinner, a family friend Margie helping Roxy in the kitchen.
Evan smiled as he opened the door, his young son Jake in his arms. To William’s surprise, Jake was frail, bald, pale and depressed with sunken eyes.
“Momma! Margie! Uncle Mike!” Jake cheered. “We went by the church this morning! I hope that as the people saw me, they felt blessed that they don’t have cancer like me.”
Roxanne gave Michael a worried look, one shared by William to ghost Vanny.
“Is that kid gonna make it?” he asked.
Vanessa shook her head, the light reflecting off the gray streaks in her hair.
After visiting some Christmas celebrations around the world, Vanny dropped her guest off in front of Charlotte Emily’s house, where Michael was.
“Alright,” Charlie said. “Michael, it’s your turn.”
Michael smiled, clearly drunk off his ass. “Who’s cruel, mean, stubborn and greedy as a scrooge?”
Charlie eagerly raised her hand. “It’s Uncle William!”
The group laughed and made a toast. “To William Afton, for being such a good joke!”
William made his way back to town square. He looked over at Vanessa in slight horror. Her hair was gray, her face covered in wrinkles.
“This is where I take my leave,” the ghost said. “But I have one last thing to mention.”
Vanessa unzipped her dress and ripped it off, revealing her regular bunny costume under it. Clutched onto her arm were Balloon Boy and JJ.
“What in God’s name is that!” William shouted, a normal reaction for seeing a Balloon Boy.
“They are the most fatal flaws of humanity. BB is ignorance and JJ is want. JJ is humanity's desire for more. BB is mankind’s ignorance to those in pain. Beware them both, especially the boy, as he shall be your downfall if you don’t shape up sharpish.”
And with a blink, Vanny was gone. William ran through the town square only to see a dark, mysterious figure in front of him.
As I have stated many times, we have many characters named Michael, Mike or some other variation and (as of December fourth 2021) we have eight different characters named Mike, Michael or Mick.
Here are those characters and a brief description (in order of introduction):
Mike Schmidt, our protagonist in FNaF 1. Nightguard
Michael Brooks, a friend of Charlie Emily from the Novel Trilogy. Was killed by William Afton in 1985 and possessed Golden Freddy. Parents are named Joan and Donald.
Michael Afton, our protagonist of FNaF SL, and possible the protagonist of FFPS and FNaF 3, as well as the Foxy Mask Bully in FNaF 4. Son of William Afton, older brother of Elizabeth and CC (and the best Mike)
Mike, a minor character in Into The Pit. He is friends with Chip and Oswald and is part of the 1985 segments.
Mick Callahan, character in The New Kid. He was friends with Devon and Kelsey before the incident.
Michael, character in The Real Jake. He is Jake's uncle, Evan's brother and Roxanne's brother-in-law. He lives in Europe and is described as being emotional and acting like a robot
Uncle Mike, character in Jump For Ticket. He is Colton's uncle and works as a mechanic
Mike, character in You're the Band. He helps Sylvia and saves Timmy from the Puppet
So, let's see who we can combine into two characters.
The obvious ones are Mike Schmidt, Michael Afton and YTB Mike. I don't think I need to go over the Mike Schmidt=Michael Afton theory, because I think it's mostly accepted as true.
YTB Mike is also a nightguard, knows the pizzeria is haunted and wants to help people. Very Mike Afton like behavior.
Michael (TRJ) and Uncle Mike (JFT) can't be Michael Afton because they both have nephews and that requires siblings. I don't think they are the same either. Michael lives in Europe and is described as robotic. Uncle Mike lives near his nephew, works as a mechanic and seems genuinely nice. (also, I'm not sure if Uncle Mike is Aiden's dad, but it's possible)
I used to think Michael Brooks and ITP Mike were the same, since they both lived around the 1985 time period. However this theory doesn't really hold weight since Michael B. died in 1985 and I think Oswald would mention his new friend being among the bodies that Pittrap leads him to.
I don't think Michael A. is ITP Mike either, because Michael A. would be in his early teen years during 1983, so he was likely still a teen in 1985.
So, that's my lame theory. If anyone has any ideas, let a girl know
Into the Pit/To Be Beautiful/Count the Ways/Epilogue 1/Fetch/Lonely Freddy/Out of Stock/Epilogue 2/1:35 AM/Room for One More/The New Kid(pt. 2)/Epilogue 3/Step Closer/Dance With Me/Coming Home/Epilogue 4/Bunny Call/In the Flesh/The Man In Room 1280/Epilogue 5/Blackbird
It was a beautiful moment.
Michael was out retrieving whatever was left of Julius. He does that every month on average, he tries to do it more often. Kelsey and Alec were left alone with the ghosts.
Delilah and Pete were watching movies. Alec was at a cooking lesson. Kelsey and Andrew were in the garage. Kelsey was reading to Andrew.
Kelsey was drawn away from the book by loud noises. Kelsey and Andrew got up and followed the noises outside of the garage.
Standing in the trash was the Stitchwraith.
“Jake?” Andrew asked. “Jake!”
He ran up and hugged the wired amalgamation. Jake’s ghost materialized, bald, frail and pale, on the verge of tears.
“Andrew?” Jake said. He pulled him closer. “What happened? How are you not-” Jake sniffled back tears. It didn’t work, he was a shower.
“I MISSED YOU!” Jake pulled him so close Kelsey could feel the pain of almost being choked.
“Umm, welcome to Michael Afton’s house.”
“Afton!” Jake took a defensive stance.
“No, it’s his son. He’s nice. When I got kicked out of the Stitchwraith, he picked me up and helped me. He also got the doll and the Foxy.”
“And who’s he?” Jake pointed to Kelsey.
“He’s my cousin. He’s like a brother to me, so you need to be cool to him.”
Jake nodded. He pulled Andrew back into a hug. “I missed you so much. Like, I killed two people, and helped kill some weird clown girl. And that’s just some of it. I’ve killed so many people.”
Andrew hugged him back. “It’s ok.”
Alec dipped his head outside. “What’s going on?”
“Andrew found his friend,” Kelsey smiled.
“Do you want to come back in? Back in the Stitchwraith?”
Andrew nodded excitedly. “YES!”
Kelsey barely saw anything through the glow, but he assumed it worked.
Margie, Michael and Greg stared at Jake’s grave. Flowers decorated the bottom. Margie liked to think he found peace. She liked to think he was visiting arcades, and eating pizza up in Heaven.
Jake's uncle put a hand on her shoulder. Jake was right. He did act like a robot.
Greg was inconsolable. His girlfriend tried to comfort him, but it was no use. He felt like he had let Jake down.
Margie placed a bouquet of assorted flowers in front of the grave. Greg placed a few daisies next to it. Michale put a picture of him and his parents in between.
“Say hi to my brother for me, nephew.”
Greg pulled himself away, unable to take it. Michael still remained expressionless. Margie wanted to ask, but instead stared at the grave.
Jake McNally
Beloved son, nephew and friend
2017-2026
Margie stood up and headed out of the cemetery to her car. She stared at the Simon doll in the back seat.
“I’m gonna donate you,” she smiled. “Give you to a kid who can use you, Simon.”
It still brought tears to her eyes remembering how Jake passed on. “He didn’t deserve it. He was such a nice kid.”
Still, she got in the car and made her way home, despite how much it pained her.

All we know is that they didn’t claim William as their family member.
In The Real Jake, the father’s name is Evan and the uncle’s name is Michael.
If they’re actually Aftons, what happened to the bite of ‘83, and where is Elizabeth? Is she Eleanor?
I’d like to know your opinion on the matter.
Michael Afton
Michael Brooks
Mike Schmidt (who may be Michael Afton)
Michael (Jake's uncle from the Real Jake)
Mick Callahan (from The New Kid, Mick is short for Michael)
Mike (one of the kids Oswald meets in Into The Pit)
Mike (Colton's uncle from Jump for Tickets)
Turns out the Michael was a very common name, being the number one from the mid 50's to late 90's.
Still, you should not name seven characters Michael. I like the name fine, have my own far share of characters named Michael, but seven! I've never gone over three with the same name.
And on top of that two Fritz's, three Jeremy's and we almost had Vanessa's.
I'm not mad. Just, I find it kinda funny that there's an actually explanation for it.
