Yes, yes, I know. The "Putting the Bite Victim Back Together Megathread" I promised earlier is coming. It's just... taking a while. I realized how much strong evidence PuppetVictim has and, while I don't believe it, it's taken me down a weird rabbit hole.

But we're not here to be taken down weird rabbit holes, we're here to talk about Midnight Motorist.

Once again, I will say that we are indeed in the Afton house. The blue walls match the FNaF 4 house (even if Scott is bad with architecture,) the outside resembles the house on the title screen of FNaF 4, and the owner of a purple car says "This is my house." The gray-shirted gray-texted person sitting watching TV is Michael, the older brother to the Bite Victim and frequent watcher of Immortal and the Restless - aside from delivering their one line that doesn't add much to the minigame, they serve no role besides tying this house once again to the Afton family.

True, the interior of the FNaF 4 house and the Midnight Motorist's house don't match at all, but just as Scott isn't the best with architecture, interior design isn't one of his strongsuits. Note that, in the FNaF 4 house, the TV set and the couch are facing the same direction.

But that doesn't answer who we are in the minigame. It wouldn't feel right to be William, since William tends to be represented with purple, and there would be no other person known for being a furry and breaking into windows to steal children away.

But what about Henry? Well, the main two times we hear Henry's voice are during the fire sequence and during the salvaging segments, where everything it lit in orange. The text from the FNaF 3 trailer - "He will come back. He always does. We have a place for him," - definitely seems like Henry given all the information we have now. And, just as Henry is an antithesis to William, yellow is the opposite of purple on the color wheel. If we were to associate Henry with one color, it'd be yellow/orange.

And there is some books/games confusion regarding the Afton residence and the Emily residence. Charlie's childhood home is the one with the secret underground bunker in it, and the hole in the ground outside where a Twisted animatronic came through.

The cleanest solution is to say William and Henry were married, but I know nobody would go for that, so I've come up with a different solution: Henry adopted William's children. He got them taken away somehow, and tried to protect them.

It makes sense. The whole "William being arrested" thing would put a dent in the timeline in terms of his kids being raised. Elizabeth and the Bite Victim would've already been dead, but Michael? He'd only be like... 13. So I say that Henry must've adopted the Bite Victim, Elizabeth, and Michael sometime between Charlotte's death and the Bite of FNaF 4.

This even helps with some of the housing weirdness. The house in Michael's nightmares and the one in the FNaF 4 minigames are different, which is why they appear so far away from each other on the Breaker Room map. The one on the left is the Emily residence - the one in the FNaF 4 minigames, Charlotte's childhood home, and the house seen in Midnight Motorist. The one on the right/bottom is the Afton house - the one in Michael's dreams, including Fun with Plushtrap, and the one that William spied on via the Private Room in Sister Location.

Midnight Motorist shows Henry going home to his two adopted sons, Michael and the Bite Victim, only to discover that the Bite Victim "ran off to that place again." "That place" is Fredbear's Family Diner, and the person who led him there is William. In a situation not completely unlike Mrs. Doubtfire, William uses a mascot costume to lure his son away from Henry and get in some good bonding time. This might even explain why he works at Fredbear's at the first place. But regardless, this is the night that the Bite Victim witnesses a murder at Fredbear's and became fearful of the animatronics.

Does this feel like speculation? Yes. But come in, it's Midnight frickin' Motorist. There's no theory that doesn't involve speculation, and I think this fits a lot of pieces together. There's evidence that Henry is the Midnight Motorist, but there's also evidence that it's the Afton household. This uses both sides of evidence.

Quite frankly, this was inspired by me watching MatPat's "The Monster We Missed" theory and getting frustrated that none of what he said made any sense. The idea that we've never heard the name "Michael Afton" is literally wrong, but I do think he made good points about the Afton house vs. the Emily house. And let's all just agree for a moment that my current theory, right now, is much better than my Mrs. Afton theory from the other thread.

Take care, ~Cutesy.
