If you don't know what it is, here's an old post about it: The Midnight Motorist Blackout Theory : r/fivenightsatfreddys. I feel like it gives a satisfying answer to Midnight Motorist that also explains other mysteries in the franchise.

Neither Charlie nor Sammy are named in the games. So, for Charlie to exist in the games despite never being named, that means Sammy likely exists in the games despite never being named. He doesn't even have to be CC like my previous post suggested, but he has to BE there because both Henry and Charlie are. He could be the current CEO of Fazbear Entertainment, he could be CC, he could just be around. But he's there.

If you don't know who Sammy Emily is, I'll summarize for you: Sammy Emily is Charlie's twin brother in the original novel trilogy, and the second child of Henry Emily. In The Silver Eyes, he's introduced as a victim of William Afton who was kidnapped in 1982. However, we learn in The Twisted Ones and The Fourth Closet that Sammy wasn't a victim of William, but rather Charlie, with Sammy seemingly never being killed. Sammy has never been mentioned by name since, and he's conspicuously absent from the movies, where Charlie dies the year he was supposedly kidnapped.

With that out of the way, let me point something out. In The Twisted Ones, Charlie is kidnapped by Twisted Freddy (whose normal form looks a lot like Funtime Freddy) and is taken to an underground version of the FNaF 2 location, complete with a bunch of BBs and posters of the Toys. If the theory that the FNaF 2 location used to be Fredbear's is true, that means a child of Henry Emily is taken to an underground recreation of Fredbear's by an animatronic that looks conspicuously like Funtime Freddy. Luckily, that event only occurs in the novels, and isn't important to the games...

...right?

Part 1: The Setup

In Sister Location, we see quite a few things that connect back to FNaF 4. We see observation rooms based on locations in the FNaF 4 house(s), the Fredbear Plush with a device of some kind, and we seemingly see another room in the between-night TV sections. Most importantly, however, we something that on the surface is unrelated to FNaF 4: we see a child's body inside Funtime Freddy. If you've read Dittophobia, however, you'd know that the FNaF 4 Nightmares were originally experiments involving fear gas. As such, it's likely that Funtime Freddy was used to bring not only the protagonist of Dittophobia to the bunker, but also Millie from Count the Ways and anyone else involved in the experiments.

Now, that begs the question: who was the one Funtime Freddy kidnapped in the games? Well, let me answer that question with another question...

...why do Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare have mouths on their torso?

Part 2: The Reveal

Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare are unique because they seemingly aren't part of the experiments, but rather products of the mind of the person experiencing them. If that's the case, why do they have those mouths? It can't be because of Elizabeth, because Baby is completely absent from the Nightmares. Well, the reason is simple: the Crying Child from 4 was kidnapped prior to the events of the game.

That's why the Fredbear Plush says to "remember what you saw", why the Crying Child is so scared, and why William is even monitoring him in the first place. The entire week leading up to his death was planned, with Mike being ordered by William to do the things he did. Then, when the Crying Child was of no more use to him, William ordered Mike to cause the Bite, leading to the Crying Child's death. But that begs the question: who IS the Crying Child, then?

Well, if you read the title, you probably already know the answer: he's Sammy Emily. Sammy Emily's kidnapping was the "wound first inflicted on me" Henry mentions in FFPS. Sammy Emily's the Foxy Hook in TC:THSY. Sammy Emily would have as many connections to the Puppet as the Crying Child because the Puppet is his sister. Sammy Emily in the games was kidnapped and ultimately killed by William Afton, just like Charlie claimed happened in the novels.

Now, this may seem like a large leap to make. After all, if this event didn't happen in the novels, why would it happen in the games? Well, let me direct your attention to the Memory Error note from Secret of the Mimic. In it, the games' Mimic (a robot recreation of Fiona Murray) remembers events that only happened in the books. With that in mind, look back to The Twisted Ones. If robot recreations of existing people can remember events that occurred in different continuities, what does that say about Charlie remembering a kidnapping that never happened?

With that, I rest my case for now. I've had this in the backburner for a while and I'm still brainstorming what this would mean, which is why it's a theory to be built upon.

Edit: To add onto this, if Sammy is the Bite Victim, that makes the Happiest Day image in FNaF World Henry, Charlie, and Sammy.
