(SPOILERS FOR SILENT HILL)

You recently received a letter from your best friend, who died a bit ago. He tells you that he "can't wait to see you again" and to "come to the town of Silent Hill to meet up."

Aiden: that’s a little weird

Feeling suspicious, you decide to head to Silent Hill. You're greeted by the welcome sign of what seems to be a ghost town with a thick fog around

Aiden: huh, really is silent for something like silent hill

You look past the welcome sign and see someone walk out of an abandoned building. He's wearing a black unzipped jacket with blue jeans. He has messy black hair and green eyes. He'd holding a crumpled-up piece of paper. He looks at you

"Hm? Oh, hello!"

Aiden: are you my best friend?

"Sorry, what's your name? I don't think we've met."

Aiden: Aiden

"Aiden.. I like it! My name is Noah!"

Aiden: lovely name

"Thanks!"

Noah shuffles a bit

"Hey, I have a question for you.."

Aiden: oh what is it?

"Have you seen him?"

Noah shows you the paper he's holding. It's a picture of a man in his late 20s with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He's wearing a grey shirt with a light brown jacket and blue jeans

Aiden: no?

"Ah... Okay..."

Aiden: what if I said yes?

"I would he very happy.. Why? Have you seen him-?"

Aiden: idk, last time was at his house. I’m not sure if it’s him tho

".. Okay... What are you doing here?"

Aiden: this *shows the note he got earlier*

Noah reads over the note

".. You too..?"

Aiden: ?

"That's why I'm here.. My friend wrote me, asking me to come find him here.."

Aiden: huh, maybe we’re both “friends”

".. Hey.. I have an idea.."

Aiden: what is it?

"You came here looking for a friend, I came here for the same thing.. Maybe we could help each other out?"

Aiden: sure, but how? *looks at the horizon*

"I'll help you find your friend, you help me find my mine?"

Do you go with Noah?

Aiden: hell yeah

"Cool, thanks!"

*some searching later*

You and Noah head to the overlook at Toluca Lake

Aiden: *looks around*

You don't see your friend, but you do see a man that looks in his late 50's standing at the overlook, looking at Toluca Lake

Aiden: uhh hey, do you know this guy

The man doesn't even acknowledge you

Aiden: hello?

The man stays silent but slowly turns around

Aiden: do you know him *points to presumably Noah but isn’t noticeable*

The man finally speaks

"Hello."

Aiden: hi…

Man: "... Who are you?"

Aiden: Aiden

".. I'm Hank."

Aiden: that’s a nice name

"Thank you."

Aiden: no problem

"What are you doing here? Don't see many people 'round here anymore."

Aiden: oh uh *grabs a note from his pocket* this brought me here

Hank reads it

".. Huh..."

Aiden: ye

"I think I saw some guy by the bowling alley."

Aiden: really?

"Yeah. He was eating pizza or something."

Aiden: well where’s the bowling alley at?

"Take a left at and keep going up Carroll Street, until you reach Pete's Bowl-O-Rama."

Aiden: uh ok. *arrives at Pete’s Bowl-O-Rama*

Noah follows. You see someone sitting at a bowling lane. He has blonde hair and a blue backwards baseball hat on. He has a blue polo shirt with shorts. He's eating a pizza

Aiden: *to Noah* is that your mate?

Noah: ".. No."

Aiden: shall we go to him anyways

"Maybe he saw our friends? We can check if you want."

Do you approach the man?

Aiden: alright let’s get to him

You and Noah approach the man

Aiden: *taps the man*

The man doesn't even turn around and answers with his mouth full

Man: "Yeah?"

Aiden: *looks at Noah confused then looks back at Man* do you know us

The man looks at you

Man: "... No."

Aiden: hmm, alright

Noah also approaches the man

Noah: "Have you seen anyone else around here?"

Man: uhh, there’s one guy who always fishing.

Aiden: I’ve seen before

Man: "Yeah. Down by Toluca Lake."

Aiden: well is there someone named “Quentin”? He’s my friend and he sent me over here for a meet up or something

Man: "I-unno."

Aiden: he looks like this guy *shows a photo of them*

The man looks

Man: "Ugh, why won't you just leave me alone? I got nothin' to do with your friends."

Aiden: alright, calm down with the attitude *leaves*

Noah leaves too

"That guy was rude.."

Aiden: true, i still wonder where is our friends?

"I dunno... Maybe we could check the park?"

Aiden: alright

*the park*

The park is empty, with scattered benches and lampposts that are shut. It's covered in the town's signature fog

Aiden: …is this the last bit?

"There's still a couple more parts of the town they might be.."

Aiden: alright then, let’s go for all of them

"Which place should we go first?"

Aiden: idk, what’s left?

"The school, the cemetery, and the apartment building where he used to live."

Aiden: alright, let’s go for the nearest one first

"That would be the school."

Noah gestures for you to follow him

"I know the way."

Aiden: ok

Noah leads you to a run down abandoned school with a sign that says Midwich Elementary School

Aiden: Midwich Elementary… what happened here?

"Ever since the town was abandoned, there was obviously no one to take care of the school. Ever since, it's been empty."

Aiden: ok, wonder what it’ll look like if the town was never abandoned

"By this time of day, the kids would probably be in the playground."

Aiden: you’d be right

"You wanna check it out? Explore a bit?"

Aiden: sure

Noah and you walk around the school for a bit. After a while, you start to hear banging noises and metal scraping against the floor

Noah: "You hear that too, right?"

Aiden: what sounds?

"It sounds like someone's dragging a metal pipe on the ground.."

Aiden: wonder who that’ll be?

Noah hums in response and continues exploring the school with you. Eventually, you come across the last room in the school

Aiden: …

Noah opens the door. This room is devoid of any desks and tables. On the back wall, the word 'burn' is written in ash

Aiden: *looks at the ash* burn?

Noah looks confused

"I don't know..."

The noises from before return, this time louder

Aiden: *looks at the wall that’s showing off a lot of noise*

A large humanoid-looking figure quickly passes by the door

Aiden: *steps back*

Noah hears it

"Something wrong?"

Aiden: do you know him?

"Who? Is someone here?"

Aiden: you don’t see it?

Noah looks out the door

"... I don't see anything."

Aiden: I swear I just did

"Okay.. Well.. Let's start heading to the exit now.."

You and Noah start walking when you see the figure move across the end of the hallway

Aiden: get us outta here quickly!

"Now I saw it! Yeah, let's go!"

You and Noah start sprinting to the exit when you run into the figure. It's now visible. It stands around 7 feet tall. It has no shirt, and it wears a blood covered butcher's apron around it's legs. It drags a massive knife behind it, there appears to be dried blood on it. The most standout part about it, though, is the large, pyramidal shape of its head which is made of metal

Aiden: …

Noah freezes up beside you

Pyramid Head stares both of you down

Aiden: hello?

Pyramid head slowly raises it's great knife above it's head

Noah: "W-We need to run.. Now..!"

Aiden: yea, good point *runs away from the pyramid head*

Noah follows close behind, so does Pyramid Head

Aiden: jump on my back!

"What-??"

Aiden: JUST JUMP ON IT!

Noah hesitates but jumps on your back

Aiden: now hang on

Noah tightens his grip

Aiden: *runs off fast*

Pyramid follows behind. After a couple minutes of running, you see the exit

Aiden: that’s the exit!

Noah nods

Aiden: *breaks through the exit door*

Noah falls off your back and hits the ground

"Ahh..!"

Noah groans and stands up

"Shit.."

Aiden: *grabs his hand and yanks it closer to him*

Noah jerks closer to you

"Woah-!"

Aiden: sorry about that, is he still therev

There?*

Noah checks

"No.."

Aiden: good

Noah cracks his neck

"I don't know about you, but I'm gonna leave this town.."

Aiden: what about the messages?

"Now that I think about it, I'm starting to think someone's f**king with us.. I don't know about you, but I'm leaving. You staying here?"

Do you leave with Noah?

Aiden: I see your point, I’m getting out with you

"Right.. But uh... Where are we now?"

Noah looks around, you appear to he in a cemetery

Aiden: *looks around* it reminds me of a cemetery

"Yeah.. There's graves here.. So I think that's where we are."

Aiden: we have [random name, random name, familiar name to Noah, random name]-

"What was that name?"

Aiden: what [familiar name to Noah]?

"James?"

Aiden: yeah it said right there *points to a grave they past through*

"Sunderland?"

Aiden: *checks again* yes Sunderland

Noah shakes his head

"Yeah. It wasn't real. I knew it."

Aiden: huh, did the note have his handwriting?

"Yeah.. A little messy, but readable."

Aiden: so that means my friend is dead

"I'm sorry."

Aiden: no it’s fine *sits down*

Noah looks to his left and notices a mausoleum

".. There's a mausoleum."

Aiden: *tears up*

Noah looks concerned

"Hey.. You okay..?

Aiden: *looks at the note he got*

".. Sad about your friend?"

Aiden: mhm *tears trickle down*

".. Maybe he's in the mausoleum?"

Aiden: maybe…

"Wanna go check?"

Aiden: sure *stands up*

You and Noah walk into the mausoleum. There are a couple caskets laying on the ground and some urns on shelves with candles lit near them. The mausoleum is decorated with black cloth hanging from the ceiling and a black rug. No sign of your friend

Aiden:…why were we even here?

"To see if-"

Noah accidentally bumps into a shelf, causing multiple ashes and candles to fall to the floor. The candle quickly lights the carpet on fire. The fire quickly spreads to the cloth handing from the ceiling and the wood supports

Aiden: oh mate, you made a mess now

"Shit, shit, shit..!

Noah goes to run, but suddenly a large wooden support falls from the ceiling onto Noah, crushing his legs and lower torso. Blood quickly seeps out from under the support. The fire quickly starts to spread to him

"AH-!"

Aiden: oh f**k! *runs up to him, taking him away*

Noah falls unconscious

Aiden: oh f**k f**k f**k f**k!

You leave the burning mausoleum

Aiden: oh nah where do I go

You kay Noah down on the grass, which is being stained red

Aiden: might as well bury him

...

Aiden: *finds a shovel and starts digging a hole*

...

Aiden: *places him in there* we will miss you

You look around and try to find a way out of the cemetery

Aiden: *walks around*

You see a large gate

Aiden: huh, that could be it

You walk out of the gate and you're back in Silent Hill

Aiden: finally, the exit

You walk for a while, getting lost in the town

Aiden: where the hell is the other town

After a while of walking, you start to hear a siren blaring in the distance. A thick, red fog starts to spread around

Aiden: what kind of town is this

The fog overtakes your vision and soon you can't see more than 10 feet in front of you. You start looking around nervously until you hear the familiar sound of metal scraping against the ground

Aiden: oh not this shit again *looks behind where it’s loudly at*

You see the Pyramid Head slowly approaching

Aiden: *runs away*

You start to hear the scraping noise in front of you

Aiden: *turns right*

You start to hear the scraping noises all around you, as if the Pyramid Head is surrounding you

Aiden: f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k

You suddenly run into Pyramid Head's grip, he lifts you up by the neck

Aiden: *nervous*

Pyramid Head throws you into a nearby building

Aiden: oooh me back…

The Pyramid head is gone

Aiden: *gets up then realises you’re gone* finally

You look around the building you're in. It looks charred and burned, ash is falling from the ceiling

Aiden: oh… *looks around*

You hear a crackling noise behind you, like a fire

Aiden: *looks behind*

You see what looks like a charred body, standing on its feet. It's clothes are torn and burned, with ash flaking off its clothes and skin

Aiden: look Pyramid Guy, you win!

The figure speaks in a raspy voice

"Pyramid... Guy...?"

Aiden: …the one with the pyramid as its head

".. Oh... Wait .. Aiden...?"

Aiden: *slightly confused*

"... Aiden..."

The figure steps closer, ash dropping off his body

Aiden: hello?

"Aiden.. It's me, Noah.."

Aiden: Noah?

"Yeah..."

Aiden: I though you died

"It still hurts..."

Aiden: don’t worry

"My skin is melting off.. And it won't stop..."

Aiden: oh my… idk how to help you

"Noah" starts to limp towards you

"... Help me.. Please... Stop this..."

Aiden: I JUST SAID I DON’T KNOW

"HELP ME!"

"Noah" suddenly lunges at you

Aiden: FOR THE LAST TIME, I DON’T KNOW HOW?!

"Noah" grabs your arm with his hands, which burn you to the touch

"It hurts just help me! Please, help me!"

Aiden: *he swats away from the burn* ok, what do I do?

"Kill me.."

Aiden: WHAT?

"Kill me.. I don't care how..."

Aiden: *he stomps you to death* I’m sorry

After a while, "Noah" stops moving

Aiden: *he cries*

The fog starts to clear up

Aiden: *he looks up, wiping the tears away*

You see what you saw before the fog, the town

Aiden: *he looks around cautiously*

You see a girl walking down the sidewalk, staring into the distance

Aiden: huh *he walks up to her*

She doesn't even notice you

Aiden: hello

The woman jumps a bit and looks startled

???: Oh-!

Aiden: hi

???: Hi.. Sorry.. You startled me a bit there..

Aiden: I’m sorry about that, do you the way out?

???: "Out of the town? Follow Katz Street and take a left on Lindsay, then keep going until you see Nathan Avenue. Do you have a car?"

Aiden: …no

???: "You might have to walk down Nathan.. "

Aiden: *he nods, breathing in* could I walk with you? I’m not feeling great recently

The woman hesitates, but eventually nods

Aiden: thanks

You and the girl continue walking down the sidewalk

"..."

…

The girl eventually turns to you

"I probably should have introduced myself.. My name is Angela."

Oh, nice name you got. My name is Aiden

Angela smiles

"Thanks.."

Aiden: no prob, how are you doing?

"Good.."

Angela nods

Aiden: *he nods* same here

You and Angela keep walking down the road, eventually reaching Nathan Avenue

*their bond grows as they traverse the areas*

"This is Nathan Avenue."

*he looks around* very nice

".. I guess this is where we part ways?"

Huh?

"Didn't you want to leave?"

Oh yeah

Angela gives you a soft smile

Thank you *he hugs her*

Angela jumps a bit

*he eats go, separating ways*

Angela waves

*he waves back*
