TAPE 1 - WELCOME_BACK_EMPLOYEE.mp4
A worn-out CRT monitor flickers to life, bathing the break-room in sodium light.
A stock-footage host, face blurred by tracking lines, lifts a paper hat toward the lens.
> "Congratulations on becoming a vital part of the Grill & Grin family!"
The audio warbles; the word vital echoes twice in two different voices.
The host lowers the hat, but his hand lingers as though he's listening to something behind the camera.
Static punches in, and the frame jumps.
Now the same host stands in a hallway you've never seen. The lighting is wrong-too dark, too green.
In the bottom-left corner, auto-generated captions sputter:
[ MARV SPEAKS ]
"Congratulations on...becoming...becoming...belonging."
You pause. Rewind. The host's lips never form the word belonging.
Another skip: an end-card appears-white on black, plain text.
> PROPERTY OF FAZBEAR SYSTEMS. DO NOT DUPLICATE. DO NOT EXIT.
The tape auto-rewinds; the screen asks if you would like to replay.
You haven't pressed a single button.
