(Let me copy paste my comment from the stream here) Another thing to note is that Lefty's left eye is black whilst Molten Freddy's left eye is glowing. Lefty's eye could contain agony, and Molten Freddy's eye has remnant. A way to parallel each other. (Lefty's drawing has these dark blue/black specs surrounding him, that could indicate agony as well.)

[@Pixelated_Box]

You convinced me but the only problem with this theory is the blood underneath the table in save them implying a secret 6th victim (not andrew) to the dci, which probably went to possess JJ because JJ is seen underneath the desk in your office.

[@Leindigamefan]

A sixth bloodstain, implying a 6th victim. The body isn't there. The sixth child's soul is there, but not the body. One of the bloodstains is underneath the music box. Puppet moves in the minigames.

[@ender8425]

I really like this theory, but I'm just a little confused on one aspect. I kind of assumed Lefty acting haunted was the result of the Puppet's presence within him, and that the Puppet would be inside Lefty and would be the reason he's acting up-- similar to how when Fetch was powered by the Andrew-possessed battery pack, the whole robot acted up. While you acknowledge that the Puppet is inside of Lefty, I do think this weakens the "five" argument, since there would be six souls inside of him during FFPS, and it does also weaken the "why is Lefty significant/spazzing out in FFPS" evidence. However, I still think this is a super compelling theory, and a lot of it makes a lot of sense-- and it's nice to have a potential place for the DCI in the timeline. (I guess I'd also have to ask if you think this can coexist with ToysDCI-- would Lefty be made out of the parts of the Toys in that case?)

[@validark]

I think the best way to explain this is the puppet is LITERALLY inside the lefty suit, like not the soul controlling the puppet, the puppet as a whole separate individual is inside it but not spiritually connected to it while the souls became bound to it

[@validark]

Like you could physically remove the puppet from lefty and it would be fine, like taking your shoe off

[@ender8425]

@@validark I agree to a certain extent especially with the 5 becoming 1 referring to Lefty *outside* of the Puppet, I think that aspect makes sense- the *animatronic* is possessed, AND puppet is possessed inside of it. I just think the evidence of Lefty’s “possession” indicating something *other* than the Puppet is a bit weak. Stuff like Lefty being hostile and bugging out on stage- outside of this theory, that could easily be explained by the Puppet being inside of him. That being said, the Lefty voice actor being different from Marionette’s is pretty compelling.

[@mouseyboy427]

How would the toy parts get out of the fazbear’s fright fire in fnaf3?

[@150booyadragon]

Charlie is contained, not a part of him. She's not remnant or agony in Lefty, she is still very much in the puppet and seperate. Charlie isn't included in the 5 for the MCI, her existence doesn't make MCI not '5' and neither does Crying Child/Dave. And so there's no reason to fit her in the DCI 5 either. As to you thinking it would be Charlie making Lefty act up, she doesn't make Puppet act up like that? Puppet seems perfectly held together because she's the most intact and conscious. He (security puppet) is mostly Charlie, rather than mostly AI like the others / enraged like Fredbear. Not only that but Lefty is designed to keep him passive and shut down. If he's inactive then Charlie is also mostly inactive. Those two things together make me feel it's unlikely that Charlie is making Lefty twitchy.

[@luca-arhu]

[@danvsclips8326]

Two things. 1. William pretending to be a kind man from the perspective of the animatronics IS a recurring theme in both the books and movies. 2. Foxy Go Go Go's version of the MCI does suggest they went all at once and could be found, and it's this version of events in the Party Room echoed by Into the Pit 3 times now. (Oh and DCI/STM could easily have 6 victims. The last body might be under that table...or in The Puppet's box...or stuffed in something)

[@bigpoggers6507]

While you could argue it was retconned (although I feel like "it was retconned" arguments are pretty hard to make), the newspapers in FNaF 1 describe the MCI as being children lured 1 by 1, with one duo, and with the movie showing something similar, I'd argue the 1 by 1 narrative is the correct one.

Then who is the Bulger? Henry? Listen if you want to say William pretend to be a kind guy and the animatronics believed him then you have to say who is the bad guy and I highly adoubt it because there is no prove that the children see William as the one in the game Includes that they say five which includes Cassidy and in the movie Cassidy didn't fall in the trick​@@KageTermia

[@KageTermia]

@APerson-g1k i think the burglary is him losing access to his experiments (the animatronics that are possessed) and being put together as Multan MCI

[@LamantinoElettronico]

Another thing of note, in the insanity ending Henry says: "[...] trapped in prisons of my making [...]", which admittedly doesn't quite line up with Lefty since it's only one animatronic, but the following line, "[...] now set to new purpose [...]" (capturing the Puppet) definitely does

[@queintfennec]

Given how you said how fast paced the candy cadet story was at the end what if the dci souls were in lefty like, a couple months/weeks after the murder itself im bringing this up due to: "come spend eternity inside with me" this gives a new meaning, since then lefty would've have the dci kids FOR LITERAL ETERNITY

[@beShadows]

I believe the DCI all were set free during FNaF 3’s fire (reminder that the MCI survived because they were out in the real world as Molten Freddy and not confined to the Horror Attraction) while Lefty has Charlie and Cassidy inside of it which is why he has a golden eye, why Lefty was even chosen to be a bear in the first place, and why Lefty perfectly sits in Golden Freddy’s pose during the back alley scenes. Cassidy is in Lefty while Dave is in Molten Freddy. The reason why Lefty has a different voice actor than Charlie despite all the other Scrap Animatronics being consistent with their Voice Actor is because Charlie’s not speaking, Charlie is asleep because of the music box made inside of Lefty while Cassidy is the one in control shushing Charlie back to sleep. This is why Lefty’s lines in UCN don’t make sense characteristically for Charlie. Look at the juxtaposition between these two lines: “I don't hate you, but you need to stay out of my way." (Puppet) “Shhhh...I've been looking for you and now I will never let you go.” (Lefty) Theres also an interesting Q&A question and answer from Lena Hill (the VA for Lefty) that I want to show: “Elite_Gamer_126: Why does lefty sound so different from puppet? VoicesbyLena probably a question for Sir Scott ;)” The entire Q&A on Reddit is interesting because it talks about how Scott wanted something very specific for Lefty and how it took multiple attempts to get to that so if you want to read into that: www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/ahozqb/heya_im_lena_hill_voice_of_lefty_in_five_nights/?rdt=53743

There is a little problem that we see golden Freddy in ucn ending extra that if Cassidy was in control lefty would get some abilities like golden Freddy for example making hallucinations or teleporting

[@beShadows]

@@APerson-g1k There's multiple iterations of characters in UCN so Golden Freddy showing up at the end of UCN doesn't invalidate the fact that Cassidy was in Lefty at some point. Plus, Lefty is a fusion of Puppet and Golden Freddy though so I wouldn't really place the fact that Lefty doesn't have Golden Freddy abilities as a problem. Also Molten Freddy 100% has some Golden Freddy kid inside of him but he doesn't have Golden Freddy abilities either.

[@NaiFarang]

This theory is so good and a easy 10/10. It doesn't have as much evidence as MoldenMCI but it is still pretty good. And I don't know if I completely believe it right now...but it is pretty convincing

[@piplup2248]

I think lefty's voice lines can all be attributed to The Puppet being inside of him most easily. "There is room for one more" would be insanely good evidence if.. it weren't for the puppet being inside him already, meaning he's referring to the puppet. Occam's razor. And you saying his voice lines don't sound like a "robot following programming", remember that Lefty was created, aka programmed, to capture someone. That's why he speaks so calmly and reassuringly too. Overall, interesting theory.

[@damkylan3]

Exactly. And the “shhh” is just referring to the original Lefty, because it originally did that upon killing Mike, shushing him and his work so that Charlotte doesn’t wake up. I imagine that was probably Henry’s intended purpose for it, but he either didn’t program it well, or it’s acting erratic with the puppet inside of it. Hence “behavior upon suit seal not guaranteed”.

[@B_g1117]

The best Fnaf theory I’ve heard in years

[@mouseyboy427]

Room for one more implies there are multiple things inside. And it’s a fazbear frights story so the line has to be important!

[@HoogIGuess]

In terms of the Candy Cadet story, I think of the story as more abstract, like not EVERY detail is meant to point to a lore-relevant point, and details like "that night" are used for set dressing within the context of a spooky ghost story rather than a literal retelling of events. This is a PHENOMENAL theory though, well done!

[@Phyrior]

Alternatively, the Kind Man AND the Burglar are both Afton. He invites them to the same house (freddy's killings and suit stuffing.) The Burglar comes and 'kills' the kids (disassembling them/Follow Me). The Kind Man makes the Single Funtime Coffin. The Knock at the Door is the ghost ambush at the end of Follow Me.

If Molten Freddy is supposed to have the most amount of remnant within him as a result of his blueprint, why isn't Lefty the one with the most amount of remnant if there's not just the 5 DCI kids but also Charlotte from the marionette, making 6 in total? Otherwise I have no complaints with this theory at all. I could also see that some things in Molten Freddy's blueprint not being canon since it was scrapped as well, just left in the game files.

People spent most of the FNAF 2 and 3 era argueing over if it was the MCI or not, then it was shafted for a bit, then people started saying it wasn't canon for some reason even though it's never been contradicted and is a pretty huge deal in FNAF 2.

This is honestly a really great theory, I think you guys are onto something, but there's a few things I think are worth noting I don't think Lefty is exactly possessed by the spirits within him. The whole luring and soothing thing is part of what Lefty was made for in the first place, trying to calm someone down as he talks about putting them inside him is in line with his programming (although with an eerie twist, which could be due to the presence of the spirits making him more erratic). For a moment I felt like there was a hole in the theory, being that it would require Henry knowing about possession, but then I remembered how the animatronics are so clearly haunted and how much cover up Fazbear Entertainment makes, so it kind of plays into the idea that they know but don't want it coming to light. Regardless, I think this theory might be it

[@jpcsdutra]

In one of your older videos, the one about Midnight Motorist, I left a comment on how I doubted that Orange Man was Afton, because of a few technicalities and issues with the storytelling becoming unsatisfying. Since then, FLAF came out, and people pretty much started screaming "slam dunk" because of the Midnight Motor car having a Spring Bonnie accessorie. If anything about this Lefty theory is true, we have a giant impasse again. Because it is now implying Lefty might have either kidnapped a living kid from the Afton family; or we are saying that Afton hid a body or something in CC or Michael's Room. Or even that Michael knew Lefty early on. It might even mean that the DCI is so old, it predates the MCI, and Lefty is what CC sees that makes him afraid; which would be wildly interesting as it would give Henry a better reason to use Lefty then; but it makes order of events clearly messy. Midnight Motorist rears its ugly head again into being confusing. Funnily enough, regarding Candy Cadet; I left a comment on one of ID's Fantasy recent videos (the one about Candy Cadet) Rye Toast had recently brought attention to how the DCI is out of place, because it is an absurd change to M.O.; and it's not brought up again, we don't even know the victims. In association with ID's video, it got me thinking: - Candy Cadet tells of 3 stories; and there are 3 'murdery' events for William (MCI, DCI, Elizabeth's 'accident' that was an intentional death, just not for her) - All three different killings 'scientifically' test how the killing affects possession (inside suit, near suit; how violent the death has to be; if has to be from a person or an object, etc) - If the story about the keys is about the MCI, and the story about the snake is about Baby; then maybe the story about the orphans is about the DCI. And this part really makes me think that you really are on to something with Lefty... And so, once again, I think there's even more proof that Midnight Motorist *can't be* about William. If we really want to get loopie about the fact that FNAF 6 is "bringing the victims of 3 different events" together, we might also have to think that there are 3 minigames. While I don't really have pheasible arguments right now, and I'm just throwing this idea at a wall to see if sticks; there might be something to that: There's Midnight Motorist, Fruity Maze and Security Puppet; and we know for a *fact* that Fruity Maze is about the MCI. Which means that MM can be about either the DCI or Baby; or that Security Puppet is about the DCI or Baby; - If we consider SP is about the DCI; this would squarely give Charlie the motivation to come back just to try to stop the DCI; and fail. If we consider SP is about the Baby incident; that can give us a timeframe of reference of how far from each other the girls died, which couldn't be too far after another. - If we consider MM is about the DCI, this leaves only SP to be about Baby; If we consider MM is about the Baby Incident; whatever the family that is there that *isn't* the Aftons is either right next to the Bunker OR right next to an unmarked grave where William is hiding *all* of the bodies. While I do think this theory is really good, it's a real head scratcher. Is picking pieces of the puzzle that we haven't used yet, but I don't really think we have an answer as to where they go in just yet.

One thing I don’t think people pay attention to: it is fairly obvious to me who likely built which animatronics as they all kind of have a cohesive style. Henry’s defining build traits are the jaw design, look at the original characters and rockstars, as well as notably (and why I think he’s characterized as being so renowned) is his design. Henry invented the Endo 01 and 02, am making realistic, lifelike, cheap, and resource efficient designs that can have costumes switched out. If you went to a real life chuck e cheese or something you wouldn’t have robots that you can really replace the suit of, and you cant seem to be able to do this on animatronics built by 3rd parties like the toys. Henry however is never characterized as being a particularly advanced coder, merely an engineer. I think William is a very skilled coder and overall scientist, hence why he could create things like the illusion discs and scooper. We know but all overlook the fact that William has an entire company behind him, one with a personalized and high tech underground location that has technicians and people running the business long after Afton is gone. I don’t think William built any animatronics we see, he just isn’t characterized as being a builder. I think he oversaw and paid for the construction of the Funtimes, if he had any involvement in them. One last food for though idea: how could Henry know what the scooper is or does (I don’t think he’s seen it based off of how his supposed design looks) therefore he probably has been down to or has info from the bunker.

What has five ghosts but ONLY four that attended a party? The mini games that run up to Happiest day. Fnaf 3 has five mini games in which you rescue a ghost crying in a back room. BB's air adventure, Mangle's quest, Chica's party, Stage 01 and Shadow Bonnie. The first four mini games gets you a party guest in happiest day. The happiest day mini game contains two ghosts at it's base; the puppet and Golden Freddy. So you can't rescue them from a mini game. You save four white ghosts and one pitch black ghost. The four white ghosts don the Freddy, Foxy, Chica and Bonnie masks. The inky black ghost rescued by RWQXFSC NEVER appears outside of the Shadow Bonnie mini game. Weird isn't it?

[@Luokeyo]

I like this theory, but I think it is possible that the voice line is referring to the fact that the puppet is physically inside Lefte so it literally has to move the puppet to make room for you. But, to throw a bone: MoltenDCI, LeftyMCI and SpringtrapCassidy. The five imageries for Lefte is pretty solid, the main gripe is that Charlottes there too, to that's 6 souls, and there's actually a good chunk of evidence for the DCI having 6 victims, so it could even be 7 souls. LefteMCI would make the five imageries make even more sense, however. If we assume Cassidy (or whoever TOYSNHK is), attaches their soul to William after Save Them, that would mean 4 MCI kids + Charlotte in Lefte, five souls. Molten DCI also makes sense, after The DCI possess the Toys. They're strapped only for William to collect them and melt them down into The Funtimes, things go on as usual until Follow Me where William is trying to collect more remnant, he destroys them but gets Springlocked before he can properly collect them. Cassidy attaches to William and the rest hang around The Puppet/ Charlotte to eventually be captured by Lefte. It also keeps the eye imagery of Lefte missing their left eye and Molten missing their right. Evidence for 6 DCI victims include the 6th blood pool under a table in Save Them, referencing JJ. The T. Chica High School Years in UCN. (6 stories) and The Save-Them styled minigame in Into The Pit which has six items you need collect, representing the 6 kids (we know the item numbers represent the kids since the Go Go Go-style minigame has five items representing the 5 victims).

[@Jesscresent76]

Omg that makes so much sense, I never really understood why in one of lefty’s lines they don’t speak like the puppet, they want Afton to become a part of them, they say they won’t let afton go, Puppet isn’t like this she makes it abundantly clear she only is here to help either the kids or the crying child or Cassidy one of the three or maybe all, and that afton doesn’t matter anymore what he did is done she just is there to clean things up so to speak, but lefty expressly says they want to absorb afton. It makes so much more sense if someone other than the puppet is in there.

With how smart Henry Emily is, and I’m only four minutes and 44 seconds in. I always believe that Henry was the one that made the remnant because he was the one who is intelligent enough to create very high-end animatronics by himself.

[@purple_soda2801]

Although really compelling i have an annoying problem with that theory. I always figured the toy animatronic became possessed, given how they changed their behavior and suddenly became more aggressive. So if anything lefty would have to combine the toy animatronics. Otherwise your theory makes a ton of sense and amazing job on finding this stuff

[@captainspock3p07]

Let's also not forget that the FFPS location has been open for months before Mike started working there!

[@bowserattacks9796]

also, in TD’a video you two talk about the mound having multiple bodies in it possibly, what if that is what Candy Cadet’s story with multiple bodies fused together is about somehow

[@TDreads]

"Stitched them together and buried the child" hmmm

[@czerwonypajak6135]

This is actually pretty good. Since I always believed in 16 victims. You know 1 puppet, 5 MCI, 5 DCI, 5 Go go go. Because there are exactly 16 characters in FNAF 2 (counting in the ester eggs) 16 balloons in the happiest day. (The balloons symbolize souls that get released after the happiest day.) Basically it made sense for Afton to 'always come back', always coming back and killing in fives. Now that there is solid evidence for the lefty to hold at least DCI... Now to find go go go kids. You know what? I'm not sleeping today.

[@rjcat90]

Yeah that explains Lefty's Liability being too high.. Because the Puppet seems like one of the calmest souls out of the MCI and DCI it would be odd but if there were multiple souls in one vessel then it would make sense why their so erratic making their liability higher than the other rockstars who would probably be just as dangerous as Lefty but they aren't because they aren't possessed Also Lefty is moving all aggressively and never stops just like how they are underground but they are even more aggressive than the other scrap animatronics because the souls just won't stop moving. Also (Again) It's never explained who we're buying from in pizza simulator but everything points to Henry because he can somehow make an animatronic that you can just find in the back alley be purchasedable, which means he has some kinda control over Lefty, able to put lefty up for purchase for you as soon as possible and even still have Lefty available the day after you were supposed to salvage Lefty by buying them on Saturday.

[@KimaniEstime]

LeftyDCI is kinda compelling, especially with all the references to the number five.

[@jurajilic2814]

What if, HEAR ME OUT!, Henry actually regurally took in a set of orphan children or kids from the streets (than weren't in an orphanage duh..) and let them stay at freedys till the closing hour, with only him being there since he's the boss, he could have easily said to other employees to leave the closing shift to him or even he came earlier for the night shift and let everyone else leave, then William knew this was happening as William probably always had info since he worked there OR William was maybe even on the shift the same day. Then HENRY maybe actually WENT TO GET FOOD in how the Candy Cadets story goes, and went to order more batches of pizzas or even went by truck to a supplier, he probably trusted the kids to not mess anything up in the restaurant since he usually took them in (he also probably gave them free food and shit this was the 80's right?) and also HENRY POTENTIALLY locked the door (so none of them could get out until he came back with ACTUALL FOOD) BUT DURING HE'S ACQUIRE, William snuck in, seen that it's Locked knew kids were still inside, (maybe he spied or some shit) ACTUALLY BROKE IN LIKE A BERGULAR DOES and killed the children and also probably took something (Burglar), When HENRY came back to the pizza he found the children DEAD EVERYWHERE. Henry knowing he would face a TREMENDOUS Law suit decided to make an Animatronic (now how he did in One Night is wild, but like he did this for a leaving, could've easily took a animatronic he was already working on (original rockstar Freddy now turned LEFTY) and suited it for a new purpose). He cleaned everything up and also the case didn't ever get media coverage cause this were ORPHANS... like nobody knew about them, no mother was worried or some shit.. maybe a few locals noticed that the kids weren't on the streets but could've easily thought 'maybe they went to find a better life or chances in a different city'. Then Later or LEFTY came back to Henry.. the knock on the door.. What if Henry then took his time to understand what lefty is and understood that those orphans lived THROUGH HIM, THROUGH LEFTY. Maybe he then Upgraded him to also find the puppet and what better thing to lure the puppet then DEAD FUCKING CHILDREN , LIKE 5 of them in one Animatronic, Charlotte is having the time of her life, AND THEN SNATCH Lefty takes charlotte and returns to henry. Also this Trauma and Guilt is what made Henry took his GOD DAMN TIME with finding and stopping William, or that is releasing the children's souls. I only wouldn't know why lefty is murderous, this can still be cause you play as Mike in Pizza Sim, and maybe to Charlotte Mike looks like William so she command LEFTY to strike Mike down but only cause she want's to protect the children.

[@rashonmiller3549]

13:12 I wasn’t thinking it but this part was mad funny 😂

[@SAMSeclipselives]

I was always interested in how remnant works, I always wondered if there might be splash back, like maybe if spring Bonnie wasn’t turned into spring trap he might still do some strange stuff like walk or talk, or if shed parts from the blob could induce animatronic pseudo life in something it is installed into, which made me wonder what might have happened to lefty when puppet escaped it. Now I wonder who’s controlling it now.

[@ultraegogogeta1631]

My main problem with this, is how on earth did 5 stitched bodies fit in lefti, along with the puppet

[@BenjaminStreet]

Bringing toys and gladness... That sounds an awful lot like the puppet. Allow me to suggest "A story about a kind man who would visit 5 orphans and bring them toys and gladness" the puppet bringing gifts to the children who had been separated from their parents by death. In that interpretation, the burglar could be Afton breaking into the pizzaria to steal remnant, and the stitching together into one body could explain how we go from Afton disassembling the animatronics and being spring locked, to that metal being fused together into another animatronic by the puppet.

[@molamola9723]

I think an issue with this theory is overthinking the small details of Candy Cadet. If you really pay attention to each story of Candy Cadet, the small details always never match up completely 100% with the events they're supposed to be referencing: 1. The Keys Story is commonly regarded as Charlie causing the MCI to possess the suits. However, the story is implying that Charlie was trying to "leave the burning building", which best parallels with the idea of passing into the afterlife? It also says that Charlie could have possibly brought one kid with her to the afterlife? We know this cannot be the case as the method to pass on is complicated nor is it every implied Charlie is trying to pass on at the time of the MCI. The burning building also makes no sense, as Charlie isn't in danger or in a rush herself when possessing the MCI. So we brush past these details and just focus on the overall plot of the story: Charlie tried to save the missing kids but may have subjected them to a worse fate than death by having them possess the animatronics. 2. The Snake Story is commonly interpreted as Mike's week during Sister Location, where he puts the suits back together. The story says that "the boy" (Mike) is the one who owned the "red snake" (Baby), which cannot be true, as William is the one who owns Baby. It is also implying it's Mike's fault that Elizabeth got killed, which also isn't the case. Here we look at the overall plot of the story and it roughly tells us the plot of SL: Elizabeth and 4 other missing kids (the 4 who were melted down into the funtimes) are trapped in Sister Location. Michael comes down to Sister Location to save Elizabeth by piecing her back together during his 5 nights there. Michael in this story overlaps, and is somewhat merged with William Afton. 3. Therefore, the Coffin Story doesn't exactly have to be 1 on 1, just like the other stories. Henry's act of gathering the MCI to FFPS is being overlapped and merged with William creating the Funtimes, and also Michael creating Ennard. However, the overall story is still clear: Henry, a good man, created a place to make children happy. William Afton, killed 5 kids behind Henry's back. Henry, full of regrets, builds a trap to lure back those 5 kids, now merged into one, so he could finally put them to rest.

[@kaptinkitten3683]

That makes a lot more sense. It always bugged me that Lefty was used to capture the puppet and only the puppet. Then why not just do the puppet instead of lefty I thought. This is a good reason as to why it was lefty brought here instead of the puppet alone.

[@chepox69]

The DCI has always been an ankward event in the FNAF story, every conclusion the series has tried to do seems to only give atention to the kids of the MCI, just see FNAF 3 and how that game only gives conclusion to the Puppet and the original 5, hell, even his interpretation where the DCI are in Pizzeria Simulator, it still ends with the image of Charlie and the 5 original kids gravestones, never the other 5, I can respect trying to make them fit with this creative solution, but if it wans't for that part of A Week Before, I would still think Scott probably wants us to forget that plot line.

[@Kebab_Lover_99]

just one main problem because everything else to me is really convincing, why on earth would Henry stitch the bodies together and put them in lefty?

[@mouseyboy427]

It’s metaphorical I don’t think he would literally do that

[@mouseyboy427]

I used to think that the dci was just the mci kids appearing as a haunting kind of vision/apparition, and you could use that as an excuse, but I’m sure the kids would want to appear as their alive selves in most cases. Unless they’re trying to scare someone, maybe.

[@mouseyboy427]

A mini theory: the drawings exist in the fnaf6 office because they’re apparitions made by the spirits. Sorta like CARLTN SMELLS LIKE FEET from the silver eyes, or the crying child posters in fnaf1, or the drawings in the fnaf movie.

[@Samantha-ue9sp]

Ok, so this is a great theory, but did we forget that Charlie fused with the puppet, and that's why Henry made L.E.F.T.Y? To get the pupet. Who has his daughter trapped inside them? I mean, on the fire scene, you hear Henry say 2 names. Elizabeth and Charlie(I'm pretty sure. If someone can fact-check this, that would be amazing). With Elizabeth, he asks if she even remembers that name since she's been so far gone. And he says a wound first inflicted on me. That could mean Charlie died first or the first dead kids Henry knew about was waying on his shoulders. Either way, the puppet has one soul attached since it was made for one person. Charlie. So there aren't 5 souls in an animatronic when it was made for one. Right? Pease, tell me if I got this wrong. All I know is that L.E.F.T.Y only fused with the puppet, and the puppet only has Charlie.

[@burner555]

CassetteMan says "my daughter", not Charlie But given that he's meant to be Henry,(using the novel trilogy) his daughter's name must be Charlie

O sht... The DCI is the one you should not have killed?

[@carlosdiaz5267]

Nvm that doesn't have sense...

[@Browhatisyoudoing]

As that as cool as that would be no The vengeful spear is either Cassidy or Andrew However, if it is Andrew, it is kind of crazy that Scott went out of his way to add a new character by retconing the mci to have 6 victims When he quite literally could’ve used the DCI

[@ersanylmazturk1761]

@@Browhatisyoudoing It is Andrew. Because The One You Should Have Not Killed is a male. Because W. Chica and Mangle are using male pronouns when talking about him Mangle: '' *He's* here, and always watching. The One You Should Have Not Killed'' W. Chica: ''I saw *him* , The One You Should Have Not Killed'' There are only 2 male souls inside Golden Freddy: C.C and Andrew

[@Luokeyo]

@@ersanylmazturk1761 Cassidy is a gender-neutral name. And based on The FNAF Movie whose had Golden Freddy's kid being Male (it is a different continuity so take it with a grain of salt), it's entirely possible Cassidy is male. Most people just assume female because of that one image in The Security Logbook.

[@Days_long_past]

5:19 This is kind of a nitpick but I feel like I kinda have to say it As a person who thinks this, at the very least under this interpretation, the fifth kid is unquestionably Mike The timeline stuff is true, but it could be symbolism or establishing that the stories were made before FNAF 6 and are being brought up now rather than being created at that moment, explaining why William would be represented twice instead of having the burglar shoot himself or smth

[@Cryonide]

I don't think that the 5th kid can be Mike because 1. He's not a kid and 2. He wasn't intended to ever be a part of this.

[@loli-san]

I think the puppet is the one who adopted the kids that's what it makes me think of. William broke in and dismantled the animatronics killing them again. I only say she is the kind man because she was their protector of the children. What if ennard and their want for escape is connected to the puppet as well after all she is still around. And would in theory still be looking out for them..if she knew they were there...she might have just been watching William to make sure he didn't kill again...this is more speculation on my part the kids souls trapped in the funtimes...might have gotten this idea from baby. :/ and as for the knock at the door well what is the knock is them finding the puppet again in left from the back alley

[@theglichedbear]

Ok, we have a theory, its fits together well, theres only 1 question that doesn't make sense...why would henry do this? He's all about putting souls to rest, so why would he actively build L.E.F.T.Y for anything other then the puppet? We know spirits can possess objects via rement, but we also know that if a ghost finds its body, it regains its memories and is able to move on. The DCI children arnt hidden, they're in plain sight for anyone to see, by that logic, the souls SHOULD be able to move on and rest- there's no need for Henry to harvest their remnant and put them all inside L.E F.T.Y with his daughter if they ghosts arnt possessing anything in the first place. Why are the souls still sticking around if there's nothing holding them back?

[@colinmitchell6925]

The DCI couldn’t be retcon because Scott said that the retcon wasn’t that big and nobody noticed. If he did retcon the DCI I feel like it would of been a big deal.

[@WatchThisSpace415]

I mean considering the other phonecall in The Week Before is literally audio taken from the bite of 83, you would think this phonecall would be referencing the 87 bite in some way. The place is on lockdown but it's not until night 6 that Phone Guy spills the tea that there's been a second set of murders. Wait seriously, all it took was a reference to one of the FNAF 2 phone call from The Week Before to confirm the DCI existed for you? I know the denial is born out of a lack of new content regarding FNAF 2 but I had no idea the bar was this low. When would Scott have even retconned it anyway? It goes into the same issue I find with the suspect convicted line, a retcon, at least the way Scott describes it kinda needs to have the new explanation established. That's why he compares it to his clarifications. He is reacting to fan response, but not by retconning the story necessarily, moreso by clarifying his original intent... Sorry, I'm getting way off topic, LEFTE does have the strongest connection to the number 5 of the scraps, although I doubt the purple scribbles were intentional with the way that poster's obscured, literally cutting through one of them. I'm not sure if LEFTE having a different VA from the puppet means much, given the context of how UCN was made, with loads of auditions going out at the same time. This isn't like Baby where there already is a voice actor for her. Scott may have just chosen them differently because he was looking for 2 different performances. It's not like we've heard the puppet speak since Still the idea of LEFTE being a mirror of Ennard is intriguing, although you seemed to gloss over the how and why of it all. Like what was Henry trying to achieve with this exactly? And how does this factor into what happened with MoltenMCI since this almost certainly predates that event? Could this explain why Henry feels he personally has to fix the wound that William created in the games instead of committing suicide like in the novels? Feels like there's at least another layer of analysis to be done here.
