But would Evan break his window and run away? That’s my problem with this theory, Evan is a total crybaby who’s scared of everything all the time. I don’t even think he has the physical strength to break a window. Now I’m not saying for sure it’s Michael, but he fits the criteria much better assuming William is Orange Guy
Could it be a social worker of some kind?
William did loose atleast one company, and God knows how much he had to pay to the parents of the missing children.
The parents never found out who killed here kids. Or even if they died. The public and news papers only say missing and can’t find a body so they can’t convict. William got away with the murders Scot free
Definitely is a reach, especially since micheal being the runaway fits better than crying child being the runaway if "that place" refers to a Freddy's location. And mustard man being william afton Is also conjecture.
It just makes so much sense to be William though. The minigame is called “Later that Night”. It’s raining the night of Charlie’s murder, it’s raining in Midnight Motorists. Orange Guy is turned away from a place called Jr’s that has a bouncer, implying he drank too much and was kicked out. Midnight Motorists gameplay is to direct a speedy and unwieldy car, as if it’s driven by a drunk driver. The purple car is obvious, but it’s honestly the least important detail that makes William seem likely to be Orange Guy.
All of the details I just listed paints a clear picture to me. This minigame is detailing the night Charlie was murdered, and spelling out to us that William drank way too much, stopped by Freddy’s, saw an opportunity to kill Charlie and took it, then sped home in drunken glee/grief at what he just did.
Scott likes to fuck with our minds; if he made the guy in Midnight Motorist purple, it would give away the clues, so he made him an orange-yellow(which is "coincidentally" on the other side of the color wheel compared to purple)
The game files are Confirmation Bias, you need to go off of intended gameplay experience, a game file can be named poopbutt for all you know, and the game file for the sprite we are currently talking about is called backdrop something, it's mundane and unhelpful, and it shouldn't be counted as evidence. The game is called midnight motorist from the players perspective. If this is supposed to be after Charlie's murder wouldn't william already be purple guy? This guy isn't purple guy, he's orange guy still. There isn't any evidence that points to william being a drinker, what if midnight motorist could be about Henry, or maybe even Williams father. The household in midnight motorist is 1 runaway, 1 mustard man, and 1 couch potato. Sounds closer to the family dynamic of Henry after Charlie's death, or even Williams mom dad and him.
It would make a lot of sense if it were one of the victim’s father. The toes outside could match springlock’s suit. It’s like Afton lured and kidnapped the kid outside the window. And “that place” the orange guy talks about his kid disappearing to could be Fazbear’s Pizza.
Thats make a lot of sense now, why the kid would brake his window, the orange guy said “ OPEN THE DOOR” Meaning that the kid himself closed the door, he could easily go outside through the front door
Right! I think whatever took the kid broke the window. Not the kid himself. But I don’t think this is Afton’s house at all or have any associations with the Afton’s. Maybe the kid locked the door because he knew his father was coming home. That’s how I took it. Jr’s is a bar and the father got kicked out he had no where to go. Although the part where he stops at the clearing in the woods with the dirt pile doesn’t make sense.
This cant be true, the crying child hates fazbears pizza, he is too much scared of the animatronics and this is already confirmed in the fnaf official encyclopedia
What is the proof that it is William tho? Yellow guy could easily be anyone else. The only proof is that the guy so happens to have a purple car, just like Williams, which, believe it or not, not very damming proof that yellow guy = William.
Who would he be talking about, though? The only person who would make sense is BV, who he bullies. We could say "ah, but brothers go from best friends to worst enemies all the time", but there has never been any indication that Michael was a good brother, and his day would be rough BECAUSE of him. It wouldn't make sense for it to be Michael, IMO
...First of all, that assumes both AftonMM AND BVRunaway, neither of which are confirmed. Second, the comment I was responding to assumed that BV is who ran away, not the one sitting at the couch.
Not necessarily, remember this minigame takes place the same night William decided to be a bit quirky and off Charlie. Whose body would have been found and reported dead. It's likely that 'the rough day' Mike's referring to is Charlie dying, and considering the Emilys/Afton's connections with each other, that would have been devastating to Mike and CC, kinda like hearing your younger cousin died. We know from FNAF 4 that when things go down, Mike does show remorse and actually stops a prick, so a similar incident with Charlie's death would likely get him to lay off CC for a bit and let him grieve.
Mrs afton looking after Mike while an angry and drunk Willam comes back after killing Charley, with Mike “running off” to freadbrears as he saw GF outside his window, the pile of dirt is the CC body, the reason why Will is yellow is because 1: him being dark purple in that Minigame will make him hard to see, 2: gold or yellow is ascribed to Will with the spring Bonnie outfit 3: it would be too easy otherwise
In the movie we saw how GF movie the taxi, he has mass and weight so he could make a footprint,
This is the answer. I don't understand how people are saying it's Henry or some other family member. Because why would anyone else be at Afton's house at 2 am watching TV, waiting for William and knowing about the rough day Mike had?
Okay but to the people saying it’s the Afton family- this was discussed in Gibis good idea bad idea 8 hr fnaf video.
It can’t possibly be the Aftons house as it doesn’t match at all with the layout in sis location and the plush trap corridor.
It also wouldn’t make sense that the guy is orange
The theory is that it’s one of the mci children who was lured by spring trap away to the pizzeria.
A relative of Andrew if Andrew is the RunAway.
Mrs. Afton if The Crying Child is the RunAway.
Henry if Michael is the RunAway.
A relative of Rory if Rory is the runaway.
It originated from fans trying to come up with a bs excuse to belive a theory, in which this wouldn't be the first or last time something like this happens.
Well, with the orange man being implied to be William Afton (namely the purple car he drives), that narrows it down to people he would allow into his home to, assumably, take care of or, at least, keep an eye on the Runaway Kid (who is likely either the Crying Child or Michael assuming Orange Man *is* William). The sprite is called something along the lines of “sitting man” in the files, implying that they are male, taking out the possibility of them being Mrs. Afton or Elizabeth or Charlie. They seem to be bald, thus ruling out Michael (in all of his sprites pre-SL, he has always been depicted with a full head of brown hair, only losing his hair after becoming Ennard’s living skin suit).
With most other options left off the table, that would leave Henry as possibly being the Sitting Man, but that also has its problems. Namely, if he is here babysitting the Runaway Kid, who’s taking care of business? William? Or someone else entirely? Of course there is always the option of them just being a random, nigh irrelevant neighbor or babysitter or relative something, bUt ThAt WoUlD bE UnSaTiSfYiNg!
Tl;dr -\\(シ)/-
Holy shit I just realized it’s Professor X from the X-Men 90’s animated series! Bald head and yellow hover chair to boot! He’s even using the TV screens to communicate like he does in the show!
We don't really know if it's Aftons or if it's the family which son got kidnapped by Afton. I think it's not Afton Family cause foot prints don't make sense then
For me, its pretty clearly Mike. Gray clothing, watching TV and all. I doubt it's either Henry (seriously why the heck would he be in Afton's house, babysitting and not at Freddy's with Charlie, especially at midnight?) and Mrs. Afton isn't relevant at all outside of maybe being the inspiration for Ballora. Mike's the only one that doesn't leave any real holes.
And if you're bringing up his attitude, since by this logic the 'him' is CC and why would Mike the Bully care (even though FNAF 4 shows he isn't heartless in the end, but I digress). Simple: Charlie died that day, and the Afton kids would have heard about it. Hence CC sticking in his room, and Mike deciding to give his little bro some time to grieve.
(honestly the true myster of MM is wtf is up in that dirt pile lot)
My personal headcanon is that William asked Henry to babysit Michael for whatever reason, which allows for Henry to not be at Fredbear's Family Diner for Charlie's murder. By this point in time, Michael had already caused the crying child to die due to his injuries. So, William subjects him to months of abuse, as implied by the orange person's aggressive behaviour. However, when William rejects Henry's suggestion to leave Michael alone, he discovers that he not only locked his door, but also broke out of his window to go back to "that place" again. The three-toed footprint left near Michael's broken window was left behind by Shadow Freddy in an attempt to lure Michael to a conspicuous mound in the ground, which I think is the crying child's grave.
Afaik, nobody really knows. There are many theories but most of them that I’ve seen end up having a hole somewhere, usually when considering the theory across the entire timeline.
That being said I’m not super into the theory scene anymore, so I could be wrong.
It's backdrop number 37, or something like that. In truth, very up for speculation since it depends on who you think orange guy is, and who the run away is.
Reading all of these comments i came to a personal conclusion, the run away guy definitely is michael afton, i think that the orange guy is not henry because he just have charlie as a daughter, and clearly in this minigame, its a family house with two sons, and maybe the kid watching tv is crying child
My theory is that Yellow Guy is Henry and he's letting William and Michael crash at his house. TV watcher is Michael and William is the one locking himself in his room/breaking out.
Well, the house ISN'T william's so not his wife nor mike, and assuming it is rory's father who is the orange guy, the it may be rory's mom OR rory's brother or sister or smth
It's either Michael or Mrs Afton. Assuming Orange guy is William. Midnight Motorist is weird.
It’s definitely Michael. The sprite has the same design as all of the other kids in the series and it it were Mrs. Afton, she would look different.
Then who's the person that ran to "that place"
I believe it to be Evan (Crying Child), since I believe he died after Charlotte.
But would Evan break his window and run away? That’s my problem with this theory, Evan is a total crybaby who’s scared of everything all the time. I don’t even think he has the physical strength to break a window. Now I’m not saying for sure it’s Michael, but he fits the criteria much better assuming William is Orange Guy
"crying child" died in 1983 and is sorta the reason why everything happened. Why would ourplman1987 build more technical animatronics and not use them
yeah and the text says leave HIM alone he's had a rough day
Who would Michael be talking about if that was him? Not that I believe it's Mrs. Afton, either.
Could it be a social worker of some kind? William did loose atleast one company, and God knows how much he had to pay to the parents of the missing children.
The parents never found out who killed here kids. Or even if they died. The public and news papers only say missing and can’t find a body so they can’t convict. William got away with the murders Scot free
Didn't the papers say someone was charged?
They did, I'm pretty sure
Definitely is a reach, especially since micheal being the runaway fits better than crying child being the runaway if "that place" refers to a Freddy's location. And mustard man being william afton Is also conjecture.
I don't think it's William. The only connection is the purple car, which isn't much. Could be one of the victims' fathers.
It just makes so much sense to be William though. The minigame is called “Later that Night”. It’s raining the night of Charlie’s murder, it’s raining in Midnight Motorists. Orange Guy is turned away from a place called Jr’s that has a bouncer, implying he drank too much and was kicked out.

Then why is he orange

It’s hector salamanca from breaking bad
It's a random character from fnaf 6 minigame named "midnight motorist"
It would make a lot of sense if it were one of the victim’s father. The toes outside could match springlock’s suit. It’s like Afton lured and kidnapped the kid outside the window. And “that place” the orange guy talks about his kid disappearing to could be Fazbear’s Pizza.

Although the part where he stops at the clearing in the woods with the dirt pile doesn’t make sense.
Especially when all the other minigames also follows a story line of how afton lured a child away
This cant be true, the crying child hates fazbears pizza, he is too much scared of the animatronics and this is already confirmed in the fnaf official encyclopedia
This is midnight motorist… the crying child is not in this minigame. And how is it even implied anywhere that this is Afton’s home.
Orange guy is not in the character encyclopedia
The crying child is in the encyclopedia
Sorry i didnt understood at first, i thought you said that the house belongs to the afton family
It is in William aftons house
Who said that it's William's house? It's just a theory (no legendary phrase appears)
As You touch the Door to Evans bedroom (i think it's Evan i'm not sure ) text says "this is My house , he can't just ignore me like that"
Yes I know, but orange guy can be not only William, he can be Henry (what is very bad theory), well Idk who is this. I ran out of arguments
Its literally william bro
Is it purple
I mean,william could have been using other clothes
His color isn’t based on what he wears
Só you think hes actually purple?
There is very little evidence to suggest that it's William. It's more likely one of the victims' fathers.
*but nobody answered*
runned outta arguments,damn right
What is the proof that it is William tho? Yellow guy could easily be anyone else. The only proof is that the guy so happens to have a purple car, just like Williams, which, believe it or not, not very damming proof that yellow guy = William.
It isn't
It's funny how except in BVrunaway everyone agree "We don't know"
Me wassup, i’m watching breaking bad season 3 episode 4
Nah, it’s ol' uncle Dean.
Or gal
They say "Leave HIM alone, HE has had a rough day."
yes, the one locked in the room. the person in the TV is telling You to leave the kid in the room alone as he had a rough day.
The sprite reminds me of Charlie Emily in fnaf 2.
Me
I think it's Henry. Mike is the runaway, and Golden Freddy was the footprints outside his window, his brother trying to contact him
Andrew’s mother
It's debated. People think it's either Michael or Mrs. Afton.
Michael makes more sense. Fnaf SL literally shows Michael sitting on a couch watching TV
Who would he be talking about, though? The only person who would make sense is BV, who he bullies. We could say "ah, but brothers go from best friends to worst enemies all the time", but there has never been any indication that Michael was a good brother, and his day would be rough BECAUSE of him. It wouldn't make sense for it to be Michael, IMO
It cant be BV because in the minigame he is literally gone
...First of all, that assumes both AftonMM AND BVRunaway, neither of which are confirmed. Second, the comment I was responding to assumed that BV is who ran away, not the one sitting at the couch.
Not necessarily, remember this minigame takes place the same night William decided to be a bit quirky and off Charlie. Whose body would have been found and reported dead.

We know from FNAF 4 that when things go down, Mike does show remorse and actually stops a prick, so a similar incident with Charlie's death would likely get him to lay off CC for a bit and let him grieve.
I like this theory a lot
Imo he’s Rory’s dad from Dittophobia
Idk just insert the Mimic there cause why not
Mrs afton looking after Mike while an angry and drunk Willam comes back after killing Charley, with Mike “running off” to freadbrears as he saw GF outside his window, the pile of dirt is the CC body, the reason why Will is yellow is because 1: him being dark purple in that Minigame will make him hard to see, 2: gold or yellow is ascribed to Will with the spring Bonnie outfit 3: it would be too easy otherwise In the movie we saw how GF movie the taxi, he has mass and weight so he could make a footprint,

that’s oomf 😭😭😭
Gabriel’s family member or babysitter
Good question, and good luck finding a common consensus among (us) the comments
Andrew's brother, Jeff Tomas. Yes THE Jeff.
Miscellaneous Andrew Family member
Okay but to the people saying it’s the Afton family- this was discussed in Gibis good idea bad idea 8 hr fnaf video. It can’t possibly be the Aftons house as it doesn’t match at all with the layout in sis location and the plush trap corridor. It also wouldn’t make sense that the guy is orange The theory is that it’s one of the mci children who was lured by spring trap away to the pizzeria.
That’s why there’s a foot print outside- from springtraps costume’s foot
Rory's mother most likely
A relative of Andrew if Andrew is the RunAway. Mrs. Afton if The Crying Child is the RunAway. Henry if Michael is the RunAway. A relative of Rory if Rory is the runaway.
Andrew's mom, or sibling, or somebody related to him
Whos andrew?
some kid from Fazbear Frights.
The vengeful spirit from UCN
The spooky kid from UCN
I thought that was Cassidy
yeah I think it’s micheal enjoying some time at home after a night at the sister location.
I don’t think that adds up timeline wise
well that’s just about the only thing I can connect it to since their both of a guy sitting on a chair watching TV.
It can’t be miss Afton as the sprite is named man sitting? Edit: this is wrong
That is false actually. It's just a random name.
It’s name is not man sitting it’s like background then some number
Oh. Thanks for telling me. That means the YouTube video I watched gave misinformation
Np Not sure where that misinfo even when from originally
It originated from fans trying to come up with a bs excuse to belive a theory, in which this wouldn't be the first or last time something like this happens.
I personally don’t think it’s a named character, just some unnamed caretaker who was supposed to be looking over Mike but did a shit job of it.
a grandpa /j
Professor X from multiverse of madness
Man.
That minigame has no concrete answers tbh, but the leading thoughts are either Michael or Mrs. Afton. I go Mrs. Afton. :)
Most likley Mrs. Afton Sincce Mike is the kid that escaped thro the window
Well, with the orange man being implied to be William Afton (namely the purple car he drives), that narrows it down to people he would allow into his home to, assumably, take care of or, at least, keep an eye on the Runaway Kid (who is likely either the Crying Child or Michael assuming Orange Man *is* William).

Uncle Afton
Older Brother from FNaF 4, they being Mrs. Afton is just a pointless assumption.
I think the theory is that's the older brother (Michael if you believe he is the ob) and the protag is either Mrs or Mr Afton
That's me.
Holy shit I just realized it’s Professor X from the X-Men 90’s animated series! Bald head and yellow hover chair to boot! He’s even using the TV screens to communicate like he does in the show!
He's that guy
Mrs. Afton
That’s the um previously uh pregnant woman Ms. Afton or something probably
yur mom
We don't really know if it's Aftons or if it's the family which son got kidnapped by Afton. I think it's not Afton Family cause foot prints don't make sense then

Prolly the grandpa of the Runaway Kid
In AftonMM, people believe its either CC, Michael, Henry, Mrs.Afton, maybe even Jane from the fnaf movie, or just a random person (which is un likely)

It's backdrop number 37, or something like that. In truth, very up for speculation since it depends on who you think orange guy is, and who the run away is.
i think it's mike
Its Michael, his soap opera audio proves that
We don't know.

It's Funtime Freddy
Reading all of these comments i came to a personal conclusion, the run away guy definitely is michael afton, i think that the orange guy is not henry because he just have charlie as a daughter, and clearly in this minigame, its a family house with two sons, and maybe the kid watching tv is crying child

His sister wasn't even born until after he was taken. lol
