The Broken Loop

Chapter 30: 'Exit?'

"Someone said that Freddy was inches away from a child before he started arguing with the puppet! It shouldn't have been that close to the edge of the stage! And don't tell me that someone put it that close or the child walked up to it, because the security guard said he moved towards the child when it was only him and the child in the room! He said he thought Freddy would have grabbed her until the puppet started talking and arguing with him!" William shouts.

"What do you mean he would have grabbed the child?" I ask, freezing. I was worried that changing the program would have caused that child to die.

"That's what the security guard said, Henry! You making that decision could have ended in death if her parents and friends didn't show up!"

I was still frozen, back then I thought that I nearly caused the death of a child.

"I know you feel like you haven't been doing much for the company. But you've been doing plenty, especially with your mental state."

"My mental state?! What's wrong wit my mental state?!" I said angrily, now unfrozen, staring at him.

"You've been drinking a lot, the death of Charlotte and Sammy going missing broke you and is taking a toll on you, not to mention your suicide attempt five months ago." William explained, no longer shouting, and is instead talking in a calm tone.

"Next time, talk to me first, Henry. If you do something like that again, something bad could happen." He said as he walked out of the garage.

Surprisingly, I believed him for a while, at least until I found out the truth behind the Funtimes, Ballora, and Circus Baby.

If I didn't change Funtime Freddy's coding that day, that child would have died.

And I have no doubt that William knew that, and that he went back and redid the wiring to change that.

When everyone was done eating, we all decided to head to the couch to figure out what to do now.

"There has to be a way out of here somehow, are you sure that you've tried everything?" I say to Henry, who just woke up and is now back to being silent, when he went to sleep? I have no idea, but he's awake now.

". . Yes, I am sure. But it always ends in me playing The End." He hesitantly replies.

"But that was during the time loop." Susie points out.

"She's right. There is a chance that retrying something that you've already tried might work this time." Linda says while looking at Henry.

"What about his memories?" Buddy asks randomly.

"What about them?" Linda asks, turning to look at the wolf.

"Aren't they still in those statues?"

"Who thought of that? You or Franks?" Sammy asks the wolf, who raises his hand.

"So, Wally?" I ask.

"Yes, Wally did." Buddy replies while Wally nods.

". . About my memories. ." Henry starts. We all look to him.

"They have been coming back on their own. Either I randomly remember them, or they come back as a dream." He explains.

Interesting. I think.

"That's great!" Sammy exclaims, Tom and Wally nod.

"Anyways." I say after a few moments.
"What is something you have tried to do?" I ask Henry.
