No context whatsoever. Writing these kind of things are very interesting, I say, but it's tiring at the same time.

I don't know where to go from here so this might be the last part. But don't worry, if the end comes out well, there will be a pt3.

3rd person's POV:

The tea steamed up as Henry poured some in each cup, measuring in his head for the right time to stop.

It has been a few hours now that Dave explained to Henry why he's not this 'William Afton' that Henry might be talking about. Of course, these explanation can end up in small arguments over what's true and what's not, pointing out several similarities and accusing the other of lying.

Henry listened to most of it and did accused Dave of being William that happened to be brain washed by Cassidy. Even if Dave doesn't know who that's supposed to be.

"What about me? What am I like in your universe?" Henry questioned Dave, picking up his still warm cup of tea and taking a sip. Dave furrowed his brows and refused to answer but he knows he's got to, either way.

The room was quiet as Dave tried to think of a simple and not offensive explanation about how Henry in his universe is a piece of shit.

"Well, first of all, you're magenta." Dave clapped his hands together, pointing his finger tips at Henry. "And..." Dave hesitated, glancing to his right to try and avoid eye contact.

Stalling for as much time as possible, Dave continues searching his mind for more distant memories of his childhood and adulthood spent on Henry. It gets difficult at some point that Dave sighs and falls back into his chair, getting a disappointed look on Henry's face.

"Look, if you're not comfortable then you could've told me from the start." Henry said softly, placing his cup down on the coaster.

Dave nodded, understanding that he just disappointed someone his age. Someone who reminds him too much of both Henry and Old Sport. It has been a few minutes since the misunderstanding incident that happed in this very living room, Henry and Dave had time to get to know each other better. But, in fairness, it mostly consists of Henry asking Dave a bunch of weird and confusing questions that the purple man might not have an answer to.

"Okay, listen, it's my turn to ask you questions now." Dave said, pointing his index finger in Henry's direction with a serious face. Henry looks up from his tea and nodded with no sign of hesitation, clearly understanding that he had asked Dave too much and it's about time that he returns the favor.

Dave smiles and was about to open his mouth and ask until Henry stopped him with a gloomy and hussed voice. "It's about William, right?".

Dave was taken aback a little, almost afraid of Henry even if he's completely different from the magenta iguana back at his original reality. Some things still scare him until this day which is Jack's 'legacy' smile and, just in general, Henry.

Henry placed his teacup down carefully and looked up at Dave, adjusting his glasses. "Like I said before, William is a friend of mine from long ago." Henry started explaining, looking up at one of the hanging pictures on the wall. Dave just waited for a further explanation of who the hell this William guy is supposed to be so he can understand why Henry thinks he's him. Including the burning hatred that he has for him.

"He was more like a business friend. We started FredBear Family diner together before stepping up to Freddy's and further." Henry explained, thumbs fiddling with each other. "But, during our time working with Freddy's, kids started dissapearing everyday when the restaurant open."

Henry stopped, eyes looking down at his feet with no intentions of continuing the story. Dave sips his tea and waited patiently, knowing that mentioning the past is not as easy for other people. Well, mentioning Henry was really easy but it did take some efforts.
