   Summary

   Three souls reach for their afterlife after all the torment caused by William Afton. Except:
   Cassidy wakes up at home, to the sounds of her brother telling her to wake up.
   Charlie wakes to her father's cheerful singing from down the hall.
   Michael wakes to a sobbing younger brother begging for help with a nightmare.
   A killer is on the loose, and none of them can remember who it is. A killer is on the loose, and they can't remember the order of the victims. A killer is on the loose, but they have to figure out how to be alive again.
