Basically, Willy gets springlocked as usual, but the kids can't really move on while their killer is still alive, so they just kinda stick around. They do it just to torment him at first but after 30 dang years of being trapped in the same room and going through the FNAF 3 fire together they all get more used to the idea of being stuck with each other. The kids aren't Cassidy, the feeling of tormenting their killer gets boring after a good few decades for them. I mean, if I had been murdered by someone and got the chance to haunt them, scaring the shit out of them and making them regret what they did would honestly lose its fire after a decade or so. For me at least, don't know about you guys. It also helps that Afton in this AU is pretty much just a tired old man in a rabbit suit after the events of FNAF 3. If he was a crazy as he is in canon, the kids would NOT be sticking around with him. They only stick around here cause William is the only thing keeping them from moving on and they wanna be there to see when Afton finally kicks the bucket. Also messing with a tired old man in a rabbit costume may be the best entertainment they're gonna get in their afterlife.

The moment drawn above is Charlie coming across the group for the first time and just being completely baffled. She doesn't recognize Afton at first but when she does she's just wondering how the hell these kids got so calm around their killer. Afton was like an uncle to Charlie, so it's not crazy for her to still hold an IMMENSE grudge over him.

The reason Cassidy isn't with the rest of the kids is cause I'm going by the theory that her body was never stuffed into an animatronic and was just buried in the woods by William. Bro couldn't do basic math while on his killing spree and didn't have enough suits to stuff the kids into so he just buried Cassidy in the woods and left her there. Girly was literally forgotten by everyone, including Charlie, no wonder she's mad as fuck. We never see her in this AU but William definitely still sees her in hell. Yeahhh, he still has to pay for what he's done, whether he regrets it or not.

This isn't supposed to be a William redemption AU. Lowkey in any AU I don't think Afton can EVER be redeemed for what he did. No matter how many kids he killed he still KILLED KIDS. Like murder is already unredeemable enough, but KILLING KIDS?? Yeah he going straight to hell for that. In this AU Afton does show regret for what he did (cause here he killed the kids in anger/grief after Evan/C.C died rather than just for the love of the game). The reason this William isn't bonkers is cause he was never really alone, he had the ghost kids around him all the time. I mean, at least for your mental state that beats sitting alone in a room for decades with nothing but your own thoughts. Both the kids and Afton are calmer now cause of the years they were stuck together. The afterlife really is better with someone else, even if that someone else is your dead son and the children you murdered in the 80s.

The kids obviously don't forgive Afton, in fact no one forgives Afton. The kids aren't more calm around Afton cause they've forgiven him, they've just gotten used to having him around. Evan hates his dad for what he did, but like the other kids, he doesn't think much about his presence anymore. The kids have just spent so much time with this guy that he's just a part of their afterlife now. And like I said before, it's fun to mess with the old guy when he literally can't do anything to stop you. Beats just screaming at him every day. Especially when you're dead and you got nothing better to do other than follow him around and wait for him to die.
