Huggy doesn't know who I am, he doesn't know anymore, and I don't know why. I remember spending time with him when I worked here, but well, that was 10 years ago, what did I expect...

- Huggy, why are you saying that...?

He erases what he wrote earlier to write something else. I wait, and after a few minutes, I read what he wrote.

- " I have never seen you " ...

It's not even that he doesn't remember me anymore, it's that he doesn't even know who I am. But then... Why is he helping me...?

- Why are you helping me then !? I get angry. And who are you !? Go ahead, write it !
I shouldn't get mad at him, he's the only one who really helped me here, but the fact that he says that really hurts me.

He writes again, so I read his reply.

- " You are special ".

Special ? Me ? I do not understand anything...

- So, answer ! Who are you !?

He hesitates for a moment, staring at me for a long time, but erases to start writing again. I then read his response, but I'm sure he's lying to me right now.

- " I do not know ".

He's lying, I'm sure, he knows it, and that's probably why he's the only one who can't even speak or communicate.

- Never mind, excuse me, I lost my temper because... Me, I remember you, and what you said, I mean, wrote, pains me... I would have liked that you remember me...

It's the truth, it really saddens me. But he answers something, he writes again. I look, what did he write this time ?

- "It was not me, it was him".

Him ? Does he want to talk... About someone else...? But who...? Is he talking about the time I used to talk to Huggy in the past ? So it wasn't him when I was talking next to him ? Was that another Huggy Wuggy statue ?

- Who was it !? Tell me, please...

He thought for a moment, staring into space, but ended up writing something again.

- "It was Huggy Wuggy" ...

What ? Wait... What is he implying...? I was talking to Huggy Wuggy...? So... Playtime Co's real mascot ? But then, him, the Huggy Wuggy who is right in front of me at this moment, who is he...?

- Oh... But who...? Never mind...

I prefer not to insist further, he lied to me earlier, so that means he could do it again. But I got some useful information, Huggy and the other toys, are people who have become against their will, real toys...

We then leave after having eaten horrible leftovers that have surely spoiled for a good hour.

Huggy seems to be normal, without excessive anger or sudden fury... We pass by a poster of "Kissy Missy" and Huggy suddenly stops in front of it before looking at it with... Tenderness...!?

- What is !? Is that your girlfriend Huggy...? I tease him.

He doesn't answer, but snatches the poster again, not abruptly, but rather to keep it close to him.

- You know her, don't you ? I ask him. I mean... Really...? not as a toy only ?

He says nothing in response except a saddened and nostalgic look that wants to answer me that yes, he knows her well humanly.

- Hmmm... I'm thinking. Did you know each other...? Were you a young couple ?

He shakes his head, no.

- Married couple...?

This time it's a yes.

So Huggy was actually married to Kissy Missy, so they were two people turned into toys ? But who are they ? It's such a sad story...

- I'm sorry for you, Huggy... Come into my arms, I'll help you find her...

I give him a hug to console him, which strangely seems to work and then we get back on the road. I hope to find Kissy Missy, to please Huggy, and above all, to reassure him.

In the meantime, we must continue and find an exit. But I hear strange noises, like metal scraping against a wall... Is this... The prototype of experiment 1006...?
