Huggy is different || Poppy Playtime

Chapter 17 (end)

He is in front of me, I no longer have anything or anyone to defend me or help me, it's the end... The flames of the fire that submerge the factory will catch up with me and I will... To die with the others... Like a real coward...

- Come... Don't be afraid... You will be part of me, and perfect as we will be... We will become indestructible...!
- No... Please... Not that...
- Come, join us...

He approaches me, his metal hand far too close to my face, am I going to die ? Like that ? Right here ? At playtime Co ? It's so sad... I'm not perfect at all... I'm just a poor coward with no solution...

But suddenly, a huge crate that was hanging from the ceiling falls on the prototype 1-0-0-6 and keeps him on the ground. But who did that !? I look away and I see...

- Are you... Kissy Missy...? I ask.

She doesn't talk either, Like Huggy. She activated a mechanism to help me too, whatever her intentions, I have to help her get out of here.

- Come with me ! I'll help you get out of here !

She follows me and I see Poppy joining us, she too has decided to survive. Poppy leads us outside the factory, but Huggy isn't here, where is he !?

- Poppy ! Where's Huggy !?
- I don't know, I haven't seen him.
- Stay here, I'll be right back !
- 1-0-0-6, no ! Do not go...

I don't listen to her and come in again, there is already so much smoke... And the flames are so high, they will soon surround me !

- Huggy ! Huggy ! Where are you !?

I scream but I can't even get a response. I then arrive in the hall where I first met Huggy Wuggy, and I see him... Yes... It's him...

- Huggy... Big boy... Why are you staying here voluntarily...?

He's sitting in one of the vents near his hall, surely waiting... for death...

He has a pencil in his hand, probably the same one with which he wrote all those words in the conduits for the employees. What is he doing ? He writes something for me.

- "Go away ".
- No, I wouldn't go anywhere without you Huggy, if you stay here, I'll stay here too.
- "I'm not huggy".
- I know, I think I understood who you are, but don't worry, it's YOU, I came to seek, not Huggy Wuggy.

He looks at me with a sad look before taking his pencil back in hand.

- "Kissy ?"
- She's safe, I promise.
- "I did not want "
- I know, things have gone very far, you were created to be a weapon, but it's not your fault, don't be so hard with yourself.

He wants to be engulfed in flames, it's way too sad... I don't have the power to help him, but I don't want to let him die here, he's no matter what, my best friend.

- "Help me "
- I'm going to help you, but in exchange you have to come with me, please, Kissy Missy is also waiting for you outside, come on, let's get out of here, and this time, definitively...

He gets up, and we go slowly out of this conduit. The flames are immensely present, but we escape by sneaking. We leave the factory all the same just before the hall collapses, and we join Kissy Missy and Poppy while observing the destruction, of Playtime Co.

- It's over... I say exhausted.
- 1-0-0-6, we have no place in this world, we are no longer real humans, what are we going to do...? Poppy asks me to my left.

I don't have the answer, but no matter what happens, we will stick together. Because all four of us are just simple toys...

- I don't know Poppy, but we will always find a solution, together.
- Thank you, 1-0-0-6.
- Call me... Ayden... It's better...

We turn around and are about to leave, but Kissy Missy watches Huggy Wuggy carefully. It's quite funny, but also so sad, to see a divorced couple end up like this.

- I know you're not together anymore, but... Don't forget that the past "is behind us" let's go, it'll be fine...

Eliot Ludwing and his divorcee, had also become toys, Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy. Eliot had lived a very sad life, he lost his daughter very early. That's why he wanted to create all these "perfect" toys.

He wanted to create me, a toy-human, who could replace the affection his daughter had for him when she was still alive.

I guess he regrets his horrific experiences now, although nothing will ever be forgiven. I am a toy too. All four of us are going to try to rebuild our lives, as best we can.

But we will stick always together.
