I heavily recommend listening to this song. It’s so beautiful. Amy Lee is truly a legend. The amount of emotion she can put into a song is exceptional.

He looks deep into his mind, every corner, every possibility, and yet still not finding the answer. He’s always so close to finding out but always being too late. The imprint of Garret’s disappearance sticks with him. It will never leave until some type of closure is found.

When I first listened to Understanding, the intro reminded me of the FNaF movie version of dream theory and how Mike tries to search in his dreams to try to find the answer of who could have taken in Garrett.

The police falsely assumed that Andrew didn't even make it to Freddy's the night he vanished due to him not being in any of the camera footage. Poor kid just wanted to escape from his abusive family for a couple hours 😞

Once the police could search for any clues, they were all gone. Since all possible leads led to a dead end, he was written off as just some other runaway.

The reason why he’s the forgotten Afton victim is because he wasn’t reported/viewed as one. Ruthlinn and Everlee (his parents) took a couple days to inform the police of his disappearance.

It also fits canon and AU Michael Afton

Figure.09 low-key reminds me of Andrew too idk idk

Meteora could have saved her idk. She just needed to hear Faint and Numb.
