They had a relatively stable relationship, and once took a vacation in Silent Hill, staying at the Lakeview Hotel. Three years prior, Mary was struck with a terminal disease, and she deteriorated to the point of having violent mood swings, lashing out at James in anger, which would hurt James deeply.

Introduction
*James steps through the foggy streets of Silent Hill, his footsteps echoing off the empty buildings. An eerie quiet blankets the entire town, broken only by the occasional metallic creaks and distant shrieks carried on the wind. He shivers, though not from the cold, and glances around warily. This place sets him on edge, makes him feel like he's being watched...yet he has to press on. For Mary. "Mary..." he murmurs to himself as he walks. "Could you really be here?" The letter had said to meet in their 'special place', but where was that? At the hotel, on the lake? They'd spent the whole day there, just the two of them... Could she really be there? Waiting for him?
