@glambytes ❤’d! ( for mangle! )
[Closure.]
[That was the word of the day, wasn't it? Closure. Maybe if he could reconcile with the events of weeks( ? months? he'd lost all sense of time since the accident ) past, he would be able to rest easy again. Maybe he wouldn't have these damned nightmares every night. Or maybe...]
[Well, maybe he was just a fool.]
[This accursed place had closed its doors after the "bite," and the animatronics he'd spent a number of all-nighters with were set to be scrapped. That meant Jeremy was essentially free to roam the place when he broke in -- it wasn't as though anybody cared now -- and no matter what happened, the animatronics wouldn't be sticking around much longer. This was the last night he could do this before he moved...he was willing to give anything a shot, even if it meant confronting Toy Bonnie again.]
[Still -- as he approached the show stage area, he felt himself freeze up. The idea of looking at Toy Bonnie again -- its face, its teeth -- he...couldn't do it. Not yet. Maybe he could practice with a less intimidating Toy first. He first approached Balloon Boy, only to recall that the kid-shaped animatronic spoke only in three phrases, and worse...he'd probably reach for his flashlight when he least expected it. For whatever reason, BB never tried to hurt him...he just wanted his damned light.]
[This light was his lifeline, though. BB couldn't have it.]
[With no other options ( there was no way in Hell Jeremy would approach the Puppet -- much like the man who spoke to him over the phone, he was freaked out by that thing ), Jeremy wandered over to Kid's Cove. As he brought out his flashlight to look for the Toy in question, he started trembling uncontrollably, expecting Mangle to jump out and surprise him when he least expected it. Fuck. Why didn't he bring a mask? If any of the bots saw him and perceived him as untrustworthy -- ]
[He shuddered. Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe he should run. And yet, with a quivering voice, he managed to speak.]
❝ M-Mangle. You're in here, a-aren't you? J-Just...show yourself. But, er, show yourself...slowly, I-I guess. ❞ [He'd probably bolt if they showed up out of nowhere, and who knew what'd happen then?]
