[He just shakes his head at all of this. They fucked everything up for Heather, and she was going to try to accept some of that blame? No way. He wasn't about to allow that. Even if she wanted to say it until she was blue in the face.]

Yeah...

[He agreed with that much. Most everyone on the Tranquility would agree.

Fuck those guys.]

The truth is... I mean—the full story is, my parents were a part of that cult. I—I didn't really have any clue until everything went to hell. Their forefathers founded our town—four families, originally. In return for leaving Silent Hill, they swore to a pact that every fifty years, they'd sacrifice one of their children. One from each family.

[He looks up at her. If they were going to get these things off their chests, it might as well be now.]

The people before us fucked up. Not us.

[... Sorta. He still harbors some guilt about what happened, but he still blames the fucks who'd agree to something so awful.]
