** I assumed that either Golden Freddy or Abby grabbed some cash from Aunt Jane's wallet and used that to pay the fare.



*** As weird as may sound, some families might think the best course of action is to, well, "carry on" as best as they can, and that may include having more kids

* After this troper heard Lillard's annecdote about being unable to see out of the suit, this troper can't stop thinking: how would ''William'' see out of the suit? It's clear The Yellow Rabbit's eyes are not Afton's, they should have blocked his vision entirely. Or is Afton psychic?

***That introduces another plothole where, if Abby has a trust fund set up for her that Aunt Jane wants to exploit... why is Mike so hard up for cash and a job? If the trust fund is purely for Abby when she comes of age, it's not like she'll share that money with Aunt Jane anyway, and if it's for her well-being and growth, then why isn't Mike using some of that money to hire a babysitter?

** It's worth noting that $250 in 2000 would equal ~$460, so it's a little more enticing but not a whole lot. The movie novelization also mentions a trust fund set up for Abby which might be for a significant amount (to my knowledge it's not specified) that Mike states Jane is after. I feel like, if that detail had made it into the movie, Jane's motivation would have made more sense.

** There is no legal or moral rules stating that parents who lost a child can't get another one, and everyone handles trauma in their own way.



* The government stipend is a whopping $250 a month. Even if you're the most negligent parent possible, simply keeping a child alive will cost WAY more than that. In addition, she's willing to hire a lawyer and several goons and COMMIT MURDER all for a sum that would enable her to buy... 3/4ths of a Nintendo Switch.

** The implication that at least I got was that Golden Freddy's spirit is the one controlling the various supernatural aspects of the building, such as the doors opening, closing, and holding shut on their own. I believe this is the case as when Golden Freddy brings Abby to the pizzeria, he vanishes and then the lights around the entrance to the dining room instantly glow brighter as she walks through. The pizzeria's collapse in the climax is caused by an overload in the electricity, most likely the Yellow Bear's doing to seal off the Yellow Rabbit from the outside world.

** Those coins were likely just tokens manufactured for that arcade. A lot of arcades in the 80s and 90s used them and they would not have any value as money except maybe as collector's items (which nobody would've thought about when the place was shutting down). They weren't something valuable like quarters.

* Why were there still coins in the arcade machines? Why didn’t the people in charge of the restaurant collect them before shutting the place down?

** Mike was the last guard on shift. If he failed to properly secure the place when he leaves, he'd be responsible for what happens before the day guard (while there isn't) arrives.
