   Summary

   What if William Afton died a Liiiiitle bit earlier?
   Once said thing happens, his eldest son, Michael, gets placed into a very special orphanage, Playcare.
   He meets new people, starts to fix his behaviour and makes friends!
   Sounds like a heartwarming story, doesn‘t it?
   But we all know, things can not be that simple.
   …
   When you trade Freddy‘s for Playtime, was there ever a choice in either of fates design?
   Or was it just fate playing a cruel joke on you?
