## Plot

Waking up from another period of rest, Toy Chica finds Toy Bonnie in the security office and goes to speak with him, curious to know what it is that he's doing. He informs her of how he is keeping Springtrap at bay using the building's audio clips, and cautions her against wandering through its corridors due to the still-present issue of Springtrap and his Phantoms. She leaves him to his devices, and goes outside where she finds Bonnie lost in thought. After managing to get his attention, he tells her about the task Golden Freddy has entrusted him with and voices doubt about who he wants to save while he still has the power to do so, before the ability is passed on to someone else. Toy Chica suggests that he aid the Puppet first so that they may receive guidance on how they can combat Springtrap, and while Bonnie agrees with this, he states that there's still the issue of finding out how they're supposed to find him in the first place.

Elsewhere inside the building, Springtrap laments his inability to stop following the child's voice whenever he hears it being played and tries to figure out how he can bypass it, shortly before being alerted by Phantom Freddy about the appearance of two sudden visitors; knocked unconscious by a concussive blast from what can be assumed to be Toy Chica from the future (whose presence has not been clearly explained)- with Golden Freddy of the past at her side (an also unexplained presence)- Springtrap wakes up later with no recollection of what occurred, while Phantom Freddy goes berserk and suddenly disables a nondescript electronic offscreen. Following this, Springtrap comes to the discovery that the Phantoms are able to destroy whatever device is causing the sounds to be played, and immediately plans for an assault on the security office.

With this now transpiring, Bonnie and Toy Chica have moved on from the discussion about saving their lost friends and now talk about the latter's insecurities with her new costume, the former reminding her that it had saved her life while telling her that she shouldn't worry so much about her appearance. Toy Chica then mentions how she had actually felt strange and watched when in her old costume, alluding to the presence of part of Nightmare's soul (which is explained later on) and being told once again by Bonnie not to worry. Afterward, she decides to be honest about why she came out to talk with him and makes it clear once more that there was nothing between her and Toy Bonnie, pointing out that she still loves him but almost had her heart broken when he lashed out at her for the misunderstanding. Disappointed with himself for behaving so irrationally, Bonnie requests that she give him more time to sort out his feelings, to which she gladly agrees before they go back inside. Up on the roof, having watched the two converse before their departure, Shadow Freddy then notes to himself about how the animatronics are unaware of their origin and that he needs to "protect them at all costs" (a quote which is later revealed to be contradictory of his intentions), so far satisfied with everything going "according to the plan".

After this happens, the security office is sabotaged by Phantom Balloon Boy, and Toy Bonnie becomes unable to operate the audio, who in turn warns the others about the incoming attack so that they can prepare for Springtrap's arrival. As fate would have it, Phantom Puppet shows up alongside Springtrap, and Bonnie attempts to reach him so he can begin the recovery process. However, the two are abruptly cut off from one another by Phantom Chica as they rush toward each other, and Bonnie instead enters her mind where he is taken back to the 1987 pizzeria.
