Plot[]
Sylvia is a single mother who is worried for her eight-year-old son, Timmy. He claims to have visited Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and met the animatronic characters despite the fact Freddy’s hasn’t existed for a long time after a “tragic incident” around 30 years prior. Sylvia feels that he has become two different people; the Timmy who she always knew, and then some other who talks about events that he couldn’t possibly have witnessed. Dr. Monroe asks when the behavior started, and the story cuts to a week prior.
Sylvia is planning Timmy’s Freddy-themed birthday party after he gains an obsession from the internet. Her husband was killed in a construction accident just before he was born, and she wants to give Timmy a wonderful life despite this. Sylvia purchases a Freddy Fazbear mask from an auction site, and when she tries to purchase more later the seller is gone. It arrives two days before the party in a battered box. The mask is weathered, heavy, and smells of mothballs, but she freshens it up. At his party, Timmy loves the mask and he puts it on, inviting two of his friends to join him as Bonnie and Chica to sing. To this, Sylvia exclaims, “You're the band!” That night, Sylvia hears screams from Timmy’s room and he says he saw something dark by his bed, but Sylvia finds nothing.
The next day, a man approaches the house claiming to be looking for his dog, and he makes remarks about the Freddy decorations still up. Timmy begins talking about dead kids at Freddy’s, found lined up against the wall wearing party hats, which he claims to know because he was there. Timmy continues to act unusual by doing things he ordinarily would not, such as liking things he never used to and having large tantrums when he didn’t get what he wanted. Sylvia decides to schedule an appointment at Pediatric Psychologists for the following day. After dinner, she sees a man staring at her through the kitchen window and calls the police. She then hears whispers in Timmy’s room and finds him talking to a shadow, which spots her with its beady white eyes and retreats into an air vent. Sylvia calls her mother and asks to stay with them.
Back in the present, Dr. Monroe believes Timmy is dissociating, and while she still needs to see him more to learn why he is exactly, she advises Sylvia to talk to him about experiences they’ve had together and things he likes. At Sylvia’s parent’s house, Timmy’s grandparents tell him their plans to bake cookies and build a birdhouse, activities Timmy enjoys, and Sylvia feels relieved to hear that he’s excited. Then, Sylvia’s dad tries to give Timmy a steak knife to cut his steak, but Timmy tackles him and tries to take the knife away, not wanting him to “hurt Timmy.” When he’s pulled off, he says that he saw the knife and had to “protect the others.”
That night, Sylvia hears all of the dogs in the neighborhood barking, and when she goes to check on Timmy she finds the window open and him being lured away by a shadowy figure. She chases after them, but she’s pulled into the bushes by the man who was in her yard looking for his dog, and she realizes he was also the face in the kitchen window the previous night. The man explains that his name is Mike and he’s a security guard at the old Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and he suspects that Timmy’s mask was the head of an animatronic bear that was stolen a few weeks ago. He says the mask may have harmed Timmy, and he has already broken into her house to take it back. Mike thinks he knows where they went, and he drives her to the remains of the old Freddy Fazbear’s.
They find Timmy on a small stage standing between Bonnie and Chica and performing a song. Sylvia runs towards the stage, but black-and-white-striped tentacles shoot from cracks in the walls, wrapping around her limbs and waist. Another wraps around her neck and Mike tries pulling it off, but she tells him to focus on Timmy instead. He waits for the song to reach a crescendo before putting the mask on Timmy, causing its eye to glow, and yanking it off. As Mike pulls Timmy off the stage a ceiling panel opens and the Puppet descends. Mike opens his mouth to scream and covers Timmy, but the Puppet stops as Freddy Fazbear emerges and takes his place on stage with his head returned. The song starts again and the Puppet retreats, freeing Sylvia.
As Mike drives them home, he explains that something was alive in Freddy’s head, and it entered Timmy when he put it on. The Shadow, according to Mike, knew the thing was inside Timmy, and it was trying to get it out. Mike makes Timmy and Sylvia promise to keep everything a secret. The next morning, Sylvia is happy to have Timmy home and safe, and they decide to stay home to spend the day together.
Speculation[]

"I was the first! I have seen everything!"
This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied. |
- While other characters named Mike have appeared multiple times in previous stories, this one has the closest connection to Mike Schmidt from Five Nights at Freddy's, with both being nightguards at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and seemingly aware the animatronics are possessed somehow.
Trivia[]
- This is the seventh and final story to have a happy, uplifting ending. The other stories are Into the Pit, Out of Stock, Coming Home, Blackbird, The Cliffs, and The Scoop.
- The description of the pizzeria is similar to the one in Gumdrop Angel, with a hallway decorated with pictures of the animatronics that connect the dining room to the entrance and both having a ceiling hatch.
- Even though it's a scrapped story, it's theorized that the bedroom Larson visits in the #11th epilogue during his hallucinations is Timmy's bedroom, and Eleanor attacks him in there. This would make this the twelfth story to be connected to Stitchwraith Stingers, the others are Into the Pit, To Be Beautiful, Count the Ways, Fetch, Out of Stock, 1:35 A.M., Step Closer, Dance with Me, The Man in Room 1280, Blackbird, The Real Jake, and Hide-and-Seek.
- This implies that Eleanor was involved in events of this story, either being the original seller of the mask or being the shadow that Timmy saw multiple times throughout the story.
- This story is also specifically connected with Into the Pit. The description of the tragedy that caused the closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is the exact same as Oswald's.
