Firstly, let’s talk about candles. There are two types of candles we can find in the game - bacon soup candles, used by every ink creature in the game - and long, white candles, used exclusively by Sammy.

Now, let’s consider Sammy’s timeline during the game: In Chapter 2 he is killed by the Ink Demon. By the time of Chapter 3, he has completely revived - we can hear his voice saying “We’ve all been waiting, and now he will set us free” if we play the instruments in Chapter 3 in the right order. Furthermore, the official BATIM hot topic Sammy event states that Sammy doesn’t remember the attack by the Ink Demon.

Then we meet him again in Chapter 5, and he is yelling about being “betrayed” by his savior. His voice sounds very unnatural there.

Here’s a question for you: how did Sammy go from loving Bendy and being fully revived in Chapter 3, to hating him in Chapter 5, while sounding unnatural, as if he was mid-revival?

What if I told you that we actually met Sammy in Chapter 4? We just didn’t recognize him.

The swollen searcher is Sammy! There is Sammy’s mask behind the pipe, and Sammy’s candles are laid out around it.

In the Secret Ending, you kill the newly revived Sammy with a scythe - he is a Searcher. That is what he becomes after being killed and before being fully revived.

But how did Sammy die in Chapter 4? I can explain that as well:

Remember those 2 strange messages in black in the room after we exit the vents?

It’s strange isn’t it? Someone is telling us to “come up and see them”, yet once we get to the top of the stairs, there’s no one there.

But there WAS someone waiting there - before we entered the room.

If you go up to the top of the stairs, stand on the little ink splatter and look up, you will see another ink splatter up on the ceiling. Something was hiding there. That thing lured someone up and jumped on top of them. It then dragged their body down the stairs, hence the long splatter of ink leading down the stairs.

But who was the victim, and who was the perpetrator?

Sammy left an offering by the statue. You don’t find those offerings in any place other than here and back in Chapter 2 - it had to be his.

And notice this strong One-Eyed Bendy symbolism on the posters behind the statue?

One-Eyed Bendy murdered Sammy. That’s why Sammy attacked Henry in Chapter 5 - after being murdered by his Savior, Henry used Sammy’s ink to create the gear in order to get to the other side of the chasm. In fact - that might have been the plan all along.

PS. Shout-out to Some Random Gal of the Secret Vision Hunters discord, who was a MASSIVE help with this discovery!

EDIT: Turns out the One-Eyed Bendy isn’t actually a Bendy! It’s an ink creature wearing a Bendy costume.

“I would question them for a bit. Can’t risk letting danger into our home but I’m sure we would get along just fine! Offer them a cup of tea perhaps?”

Anyways! I did this yesterday, but for some reason, Tumblr wouldn’t post it. So here it is again! Boris is glad he’s your favorite, his posture that of confidence. Forgive me for the snout and hand issues, I’m still learning to draw anthropomorphic characters. Hands, however, have always been a problem for me.
