What is the Stillness Ending?

Alternate Version of In Water Ending

The Stillness Ending can be considered an alternate version of the In Water ending. We see James sitting in his car and lamenting the loss of Mary, but before James drives into Toluca Lake, Mary appears in the back seat.

James apologizes to Mary, and she consoles him before vanishing and leaving her letter in the passenger seat. In this ending, James continues to carry his guilt for killing Mary, and drives into Toluca Lake.

The Stillness Ending mirrors the beginning of the game, focusing on Mary's Letter while James is at the Observation Deck. It can be inferred that James realizes that his fate at Silent Hill is doomed to be cyclical as he has not let go of his guilt. This realization ultimately pushed him to drive into the lake.

It's implied that James sends the car speeding into the lake without him in it to give mary a burial at the lake. When the screen goes black you can hear what sounds like a car door opening along with the rain getting louder between him starting the engine and him engaging the clutch. Also, before that, he asks Mary if she'll wait for him, meaning that although he will eventually reunite with her, it won't be anytime soon.
