** The fact that Laura ''traveled to Silent Hill'' with the intention of seeing Mary again. This girl is eight years old, probably has no family to her name, but she made the trek to this deadly place in the hopes of seeing her mother figure again. And if the Leave ending is achieved, she is able to make peace with James and have a family of her own.

* The Leave ending. From the fact that Mary forgives James, apologizes for all the pain she caused him by trying to avoid accepting her illness, and tells him to live his own life. Then you see him and Laura walking out of the cemetery together, with the implication that he's honoring Mary's wish to adopt and care for the little girl she loved.

* It's meant to be awesome and triumphant in a dark way, but in another interpretation, the Pyramid Heads killing themselves as James proclaims he doesn't need them anymore is this for Silent Hill itself. Despite its demonic legacy and its "rules", James comes to terms with the guilt it had been bolstering and empowering -- and [[GracefulLoser it lets him go.]] Whether or not he learned his lesson is up to the ending you get, but if one takes Silent Hill as a sort of cognizant entity in its own right, it effectively PetTheDog, especially in the Leave ending by becoming one large psychiatric aid that broke James out of his suicidal intentions. Just compare and contrast [[SelfInflictedHell what it did to Angela.]][[note]]That is, if you subscribe to the theory that Silent Hill's influence is anything other than malevolent; it's just as easy to read it as the town surrendering because James overcoming his guilt and shame left it with nothing else to weaponize against him.[[/note]]

* Another very warped example being Pyramid Head himself - he's a monster, of course, and was created by James to be the one who makes him face up to what he did, but there's something oddly sweet about the fact that no matter how many times James sways from the path set for him by Silent Hill, Pyramid Head gives him chance after chance to get back on track, even if it resorts to literal life-or-death situations and the brutal murder(s) of your one "ally".[[/note]]
