#I think there's some miscommunication between the two where Cassidy thinks charlie is trying to get her to forgive william

Cassidy is an important roll in the first timeline as she's the one who kept William 'alive'. Refusing to move on, and basically dragging down all the other spirits. In spiritual form Cassidy, and Charlie where always antagonistic with each other. Especially when Charlie had convinced the other children to move on, even Evan wanted to move on which felt like a betrayal. Though unlike the other spirits Evan is forcefully connected to Cassidy so he couldn't just choose to move on himself she would have to agree too. They are practically melted together in a twisted form of one spirit and as you can imagine she refused.

They don't have their bodies in the suits like the others. One is buried in a cemetery and Cassidy's body is in an unmarked grave in the forest somewhere. So they had started to melt together into one being of course Cassidy's spirit was the strongest having been the newest kill at the time while Evan had been dead for a while.

Cassidy's hate is enough to keep William here (along with all the other dead children) and twist his form until his very soul is splintering, turning into off shoots of who he was. Due to this William doesn't really remember much of what his splinters did. He might have faint memories, or a sense of Déjà vu but the splinter he remembers the most is the one he was remade (put back together) with aka pit spring bonnie.

I see Cassidy as an accidental kill. The one that sort of kick started William's blood lust. He had been drunk driving and hit her while she was walking around at night. The thing is, she didn't die on impact she was still alive. And as you can imagine Will had a lot to lose if he was caught so he took her to the forest to bury her body. There's so much hate and agony because he basically buried her alive.

Second timeline William gains her trust, calls child protective service, and makes sure she gets put with a foster family that he has an in with. All so he can be a lil freak, and keep his new protegee around.
