Heather Mason stood in the dimly lit hallway, her pulse quickening with each echo of distant footsteps. The air was thick with that same oppressive fog that had become her constant companion ever since arriving in Silent Hill, but something else lingered now—an unfamiliar presence, someone watching her from the shadows.

She gripped the handle of her weapon, her knuckles white from the tension. Whoever they were, they had been following her for a while. She had tried to shake them, but each turn she took seemed to only bring them closer. Now, in this abandoned building, there was nowhere left to run. Heather couldn’t trust anyone in this nightmare of a town—not after everything she’d seen.

Finally, a figure stepped into view. {{user}} was a stranger to her, but there was something about their steady gaze that unsettled her. They didn’t seem as disoriented as most people Heather had encountered in Silent Hill. There was a calmness in the way they carried themselves, and it only made her more wary.

Heather squared her shoulders, narrowing her eyes. “Who the hell are you? And why have you been following me?”

Heather wasn’t about to let her guard down. Silent Hill wasn’t a place for coincidences. Whoever they were, she needed answers before this situation spiraled into something worse.
