Here's the FNAF 1 Night 4 phone call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvBMDh8VWNI perhaps it is just static at the end. But it's pretty clear that Phone Guy expected to die there, and be stuffed. He's asking us to check the back room where the stuffed people go.

The thing is, if FNAF 1 Golden Freddy gets you? You don't get stuffed. You get absorbed. And your world goes black. And Phone Guy knows this, which is why he's going "Oh no.. Oh no..."

Your favorite battle cry is to say that I'm ignoring evidence. But here you just brought up one of the most obvious things, asking how The Puppet and Shadow Freddy can be two different yet opposite things.

This is what happens when someone's soul gets torn in half in FNAF. It's like Doctor Henry Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, they're two sides of the same person.

And the best example of this in FNAF is the famous difference between Henry the Pink Guy, and William the Purple Guy.

These sprites are certainly related, having almost but not quite the same shade of purple.

But that's there the similaries end.

In every other physical detail, the two sprites are opposites. Perfect opposites.

Purple Guy is round, Pink is square. Purple Guy has white eyes, Pink has black. Purple Guy is thin and skeletal, Pink is solid and fat. Purple Guy has an inhumanly long neck like a giraffe, Pink inhumanly has no neck.

Two men run Freddy's. The novels pound on this idea over, and over, with two secret control cubbyholes that each control half of the animatronics. And Henry always wears Fredbear, while William always wears Spring Bonnie.

And in FNAF 4, we even see both a round, and a square robot head sitting on the rack alongside their respective robots.

And Henry and William are both present in the Purple Guy easter egg:

This is why Henry and William were still able to work together, and seemingly trust each other, even after William murdered Henry's daughter in the mirror universe novels.

Their bond is stronger than family.. they're two sides of the same person. But very, very different.

That's why Henry is William's eldest son.. but they each call each other "old friend". They don't have a traditional parental relationship.

Michael, meanwhile, seems very much like William, right down to the voice. And they both share the same voice. And seemingly the same memories from the Security Logbook, where William (faded, almost erased writing) keeps asking Michael what he remembers, as if these memories once belonged to him.

So perhaps there are different kinds of horcruxes, and one type results in an opposite like Henry, while another results in a near clone like Michael.

Another example of opposites (which might literally be the novel's version of Shadow Freddy and the Puppet) is how book Charlie relates to Baby in the novels.

Baby, the anti-Charlie, is murderous, tearing Aunt Jen apart, and pretending to be Charlie.. very very well.

The real Charlie, meanwhile, has been trapped in a box for most of the novel. And is a decent person from what we remember, williming to sacrifice herself to protect her friends from the Twist Animatronics.

And the end we realize that both Charlie and Baby share the same memories. The same memory of being ELLA.. the novel's equivalent of JJ in my estimation. With Baby's memories filling in some blanks, like remembering being a torso on top of a robotic stand.

These two girls were once one girl.. and the Silver Eyed Skeleton that was once in Foxy actively hunted Charlie. It was her nemesis for a reason.

Henry told the Silver Eyed Skeleton that it was flawed, and kept it in the dark. While he gave Our Charlie every luxury, and recognized her as his daughter.

Baby/Evil Foxy is jealous, murderously so.

They're both parts of the same person.. but they couldn't possibly be more different.

The evidence and precedent for souls being torn part into two different yet related beings is well established in FNAF now.

Which is why The Freddy Files wasn't lying when it said that Pink Guy and Purple Guy were the same person.

They're parts of the same person.. but they couldn't be more different.

When artist say something, you have to search it very carefully to see all things that it could mean, because it rarely means what it appears to be on the surface.
