He gave me a hug, I feel his arms embrace me rather than his teeth devouring me. I knew it, Huggy may have been created to kill, I can't deny it anymore, but also, to give big hugs to his friends...

- Thank you, Huggy... I promise to find a solution, and get you out of here...
- He doesn't talk, only the smartest toys can talk.
- Huggy is not stupid !
- He is one of the first, perhaps even the first, "a try".
- What try ? What are you talking about ?
- They say that a person is represented by their favorite toy, surely you can't be the only one to prefer Huggy, right?

What does she mean ? Huggy Wuggy toys there are millions of copies, of course I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers him to other toys. But... Does she want to talk about the experiments...? People from everywhere, transformed into toys...?

- Huggy, look at me, who are you...?

He looks me in the eye with his big black eyes, but they can't answer me for him. I wish he could talk like Poppy, she annoys me so much...

- Huggy, big boy, can you hear me ? Understand me ?

He makes no gesture or movement in response, yet I feel like he understands me, I'm sure. He's hiding something, I don't know if it's at me or... Because of someone else's presence...

- Hey, is "something" preventing you from speaking, Huggy...? I whisper to him.

He doesn't show anything back, but I see his eyes move quickly to point to his left. Left ? I look around, and see another locked door. Is Poppy inside ?

I approach the door, try to open it, but nothing works. I try again, but Huggy suddenly walks away.He even leaves the laboratory, passing through where he had entered earlier.

- No, wait ! I'm coming with you, I won't leave you alone anymore, even if it's at the risk that you devour me !

He looks at me with his usual smile, well, the one without his horrible teeth, and continues on his way while I follow him closely. He walks along various paths, until he arrives in front of a television which he turns on by himself and which then broadcasts a simple... Advertisement...?

"His name is Huggy!"
Huggy Wuggy, when he hugs you, he will never stop!
Your friend Huggy!
Huggy Wuggy,
it will squeeze you until you burst! »

Huggy's song loops as he stares at the screen with... nostalgia...? Does he miss the time he hugged others ? Surely... He was created for that, deep down, maybe he doesn't like to kill...

- Oh... Huggy... I said to him with pity.

He then points to something, it's... Elliot Ludwig...? The founder of Playtime Co ? Why is he pointing to a poster of its creator ? Him... He also miss him...?

- Huggy, it's nothing, I'll help you-

At least, that's what I thought before he suddenly ripped off this poster, tearing it wildly. Is he mad at him ? Against... His own creator...?

- Listen, Huggy, it's going to be fine, you and I got stuck here, but I'm going to help you, I promise, okay ? Take it upon yourself for a few more hours, then we'll get out of here.

No need for an answer to understand that he's okay, I'm going to get him out of here, but before that, we're going to have to get rid of Poppy's surveillance, I also have to find the truth, behind experiment 1006...
