However, James's darker side is revealed in some of his actions. He also expresses concern for Laura, attempting to follow her through Silent Hill so she won't come to harm.
When James first encounters Eddie Dombrowski, he becomes concerned for Eddie's welfare and advises him to leave the town. For example, he tries to help Angela Orosco cope with her emotional distress and tries to touch her shoulder to comfort her but fails. James is typically courteous to other characters he meets in Silent Hill. Maria describes James as kind Mary, in her letter to Laura, describes him as a little surly and says he does not talk much, but is sweet underneath his enigmatic exterior. James was originally envisioned with having two different sides to his personality.
