The series acknowledges the viewer’s discovery of a fifth tape and then addresses someone specifically, revealing more about the tragic backstory of the character’s brother and their father. It mentions an incident involving a Spring Bonnie suit, accompanied by chilling human breathing sounds and the agonizing screams as the springlocks fail. The message divulges a secret about the character’s father, hinting at his continued presence in the building. The viewer is then guided to a canister of gasoline near a back entrance, suggesting a way to end the ongoing horror. The series concludes with a heartfelt message to the character Michael, expressing love and the promise of a happy ending, signifying the end of their long ordeal and the hope for freedom and forgiveness.
