After Robyn had tearfully explained to James how and why she was in Silent
Hill, and after James had explained himself to Robyn, they'd all reached
the Silent Hill docks on the other side of the town nearer the amusement
park and the hotel. James had helped Laura and Robyn off the boat, and they
had begun to walk back around Nathan Avenue, which would hopefully lead to
the nearby town, Brahms.
"Mom and Dad were in on this the whole time?" James asked, "I always knew there was something odd about the way they'd edged me and Mary to come here so often"
"James... Do you think Mary was a demon, too? Like Maria, to lure you here?" Robyn asked
"No!" Laura yelled, "Mary was just as real as you or me! Don't talk about her like that!"
"Do you hate me for killing her?" James asked
"Partly" Robyn replied simply, "But part of me understands why you did it... and right now I'm too glad to have you back"
"You think I'm a murderer?" James asked, looking sheepish and sullen.
"No... Not really" Robyn replied, "Its not like what you did was completely sinless... But I understand why you did it. I know it's a horrible analogy, but its like when an animal is terminally ill, and the vet puts it down"
"That IS a horrible analogy!" Laura yelled, pushing Robyn slightly, "Can we not talk about Mary anymore?"
"Okay" Robyn agreed, "No problem"
Suddenly, her stomach ached and growled with hunger. She looked at Laura and James, who were gazing at her in slight astonishment.
"Come to think of it" Robyn started, "I'm really hungry"
"Look over there" James said, "It's a food shop... We'll get some supplies for the walk to Brahms"
Robyn jogged ahead of Laura and James through the shear hunger she was experiencing, and entered the building called: 'Alfred's food: For those condemned...' The rest of the sign was rubbed off
"Just like Silent Hill" James commented, "There was a character in a play called 'The Visit', Alfred Ill who was condemned to death... How cliché"
"The sign used to say 'For those condemned to hunger'" Robyn heard Laura say behind them.
Robyn burst into the building, and her heart stopped. She had been thrown headfirst into the 'other' world, and when she turned for consolation by James and Laura, they were gone...
