"Oh dearest Andrew, I mustn't hate thee.
Rather, I shalt partake in loving embrace of my predilection.
I shalln't depress thine role with contempt;
Rather, celebrate that glorious glimpse of light with which I hast been graced.
To misinterpretation, my betrothed, all praise be."

I love VengefulCassidy.
I love the aesthetic idea of Golden Freddy's spirit as an angry little girl with straight black hair. I love the idea that the story would end with Cassidy and Afton, Golden Freddy and Springtrap, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, in the charred remains of what was once Fredbear's Family Diner.
FNaF2 Golden Freddy is missing his left ear, and Springtrap is missing his right. This duality, regardless of original intention, was emphasized in the movie.
Symmetry, my friend!
In the movie and novels, Golden Freddy is a sort of "leader" for the missing children. In this way, the conflict between Afton and Cassidy is representative of the larger conflict between Afton and the missing children, the primary focus of the entire story.
Cassidy has previously been depicted as particularly angry.
She leads the charge in Follow Me, chasing William around herself. Golden Freddy's FNaF1 jumpscare feels angry, in my opinion, contrasting the others' animalistic squeals. UCN Fredbear's jumpscare is the same way, and FNaF4 definitely portrayed Fredbear as more aggressive than the others.
And anyway, considering Golden Freddy's especially supernatural quality, it's no surprise that Cassidy's so emotional. In FNaF, paranormal effects are rooted in strong emotions.
The movie's depiction of Golden Freddy's spirit is very well aligned with all this. The way he stares at the end, lingering just a bit too long, soaking in William's suffering, before shutting him inside... It fits extremely well.
Cassidy doesn't want to let go. In UCN's final cutscene, she's restless, struggling, and the music remains tense. In Happiest Day, she's the loner in the corner, the odd one out, the final spirit which can only be consoled when all the children are brought together.
"Leave the demon to his demons. Rest your own soul. There is nothing else."- Old Man Consequences
This is fitting advice for a spirit who refuses to let go. Stop struggling, leave him be. Rest. So she finally goes into the lake, to Happiest Day.
The game closes. UCN is over.
I love VengefulCassidy. It is a fitting conclusion.
