Gregory and Cassie nod and run off, they're planning to enjoy a good evening together before heading off on this horror mission... Vanessa sighs as the door closes...

Vanessa: This whole damn time... A damn faker was controlling me... A FAKER!

Vanessa sighed, trying to think back. It made more sense that the microchip that got inserted in her head when she first put on that rabbit mask and the fact that Afton could mind control her were all Mimic. Vanessa sits down in the desk chair, burying her face in her hands and talking to herself...

Vanessa: I guess an angry animatronic with virus chips and mimicking powers makes more sense than literal mind control... But this whole time... I was never working for William Afton... it was a damn fake... 

Vanessa takes a deep breath...

Vanessa: I guess Afton really did die in that fire... One tragedy ended... then this Mimic showed up, and took its place... But... maybe Greg is right... maybe Tangle did kill it...

Vanessa leans back in the chair... sighing again...

Vanessa: If that damn machine is dead... I'll make sure it can never happen again... I can make something to make sure it'll never come back...

Vanessa gently rubbed the side of her head where the microchip was injected... She nodded to herself and grabbed her phone... dialed a number... she held it up to her ear...

Vanessa: Hello, Boss..? I'm gonna need to take a bit of time off... I'm gonna need surgery...

Gregory and Cassie run through the Pizzaplex, hand-in-hand. They have until midnight to have fun, so where to start?

Cassie: Let's go to the West Arcade!

Gregory's eyes widen

Gregory: Nonono, no way, no way I'm going there!

Cassie: Why? Don't tell me something ELSE happened that night.

Gregory: Y-yeah... umm... so, I had to go up to the West Arcade that night... and some experimental DJMM mode activated, and he chased me down all throughout the arcade... so yeah, that kind of scared me...

Cassie: Seriously?! What DIDN'T happen that night?

Gregory: Umm... Roxy and Chica never hurt me, so that's something.

Cassie: *giggles* Yeah, I guess that's something. Come on, let's go, don't worry, I'll be right there. It's not like DJMM gave you any crazy nightmares too, right?

Gregory: Oh no, he did, I just mention them less.

Cassie rolled her eyes playfully. 

Cassie: Alright, alright, we won't stay long. Don't worry, I'll be by your side the whole time. At least let's go say "hi" to him, then we'll leave. Deal?

Gregory: *sighs* ...deal...

With Gregory's reluctant agreement, Cassie leads him up the escalators and to the West Arcade elevator... Gregory sighs... he is still utterly horrified by the 25+ foot tall DJ. The elevator door opens, and the sounds of kids and arcade machines fill the air. And amongst the noise is a softer, familiar tone. It sounds like the music the DJ played when he chased Gregory down

Gregory and Cassie stepped out of the elevator, and Cassie led the way over to the right, leading straight to the stage. On the stage, DJ Music Man was just vibin' like usual, exactly as Gregory saw him last.
