//Heeheehee starter for @spring-locked-rabbit
Henry's hands are placed firmly on the wheel. Just hours ago, and this is nothing short of a miracle, he had to pick up the only remaining Afton from this dark, cursed location. Michael, the boy lost his mind- Something set him off so bad, so intensely, that his ability to function had simply ceased to exist, and he needed uncle to come and save him- though he never enjoys getting in such close contact with him.
Michael is a brilliant reminder of what once was something perfect, and beautiful. His sheer existence, and resemblance, often taking the now tired man back to a better time. Back when he had friends, and loved ones. But now, as all of that is so far away, it's simply a grim reminder, the way Michael looks at him. The things he's done to that boy, man, simply out of guilt-by-association.
But, when Henry came for him... Something called to him. Something old, something familiar- he knew the moment he entered who resided here. Who he was meant to find.
He felt her. It's so strange to say, but it's true! In this disgusting attraction, he knows not a single hall, not a single direction- and yet, something lead him straight to his instrument Michael. That had to be it. An image from the boys past, back to haunt him- broke his mind. Right?..
Henry exited his vehicle and trailed inside the rotting walls. The air is dark and heavy, and his mind becomes occupied immediately. He found his way back to the office room and sat in the creaky chair, unaware that the team working the archives had 'found one. A real one.' Unaware of Michael's true breaking point. Sitting back, letting the feelings sink in, allowing himself to ease.
Voice rough and coarse, not suitable for childcare, he continued anyway, hoping to heal these ever-chipping walls. "M-My grandfather's clock.. Was too large for the shelf.." It was almost painful. Singing again. Especially the tune Charlie, and now the puppet, know so well. Though, they are not the only ones. "So it stoo-.. Stood ninety years on the floor.." From this, Henry continued, hoping, hoping, hoping, hoping, to see his baby again. Any single one of them, at this rate.
