[ The flickering images at the edge of his vision, they only serve to heighten his panic. With everything as it is now he can't be sure of what he's seeing, if he's seeing anything or if it's just his fractured mind playing tricks on him, and he remembers the monsters that lurked here the last time. The dogs, the pendulum-headed monsters, the (mermaids) clawed and blind creatures scraping along the ground. He doesn't have a weapon this time, nothing - no gun, no pipe, not even the knife. He's defenseless if something attacks him, and it's not a good position to be in in Silent Hill.
But then he sees the boy. He knows, even from this distance, that it's not Josh - the kid is shorter, not as lanky. Younger. But still, it's a kid in Silent Hill, and more than that it's a distraction from his panic and aimlessness. Something to focus on.
Clearly, he didn't learn the lesson about the truth of kids in Silent Hill the first time. ]

Hey - hey, wait! I'm not gonna hurt you!
