A flicker of annoyance passes over James's face just briefly — he doesn't know why it irritates him, what she says, but it does. 'Tell me what you think you can do.' He's just some guy. What's he supposed to do?
"I'm not a cop, I—" he starts with a shrug, but cuts himself off as the realization of his own foolishness gives him pause. He doesn't need to be a detective to figure this out, does he? "Actually... wait, sorry. The town I was in before I came here, something was ... off about it, too. It's hard to explain. But that doesn't matter, the point is there were these, ah, puzzles? Sometimes. I had to solve them to get keys or information."
Like something was taunting him. Like the whole town was taunting him.
"I can help put pieces together. I can investigate. Yeah, I'm not a cop but exploring an old town for clues? It isn't exactly new to me."
He was also only in Silent Hill for, like, two days before he died so it's not like he has a long history of finding clues and solving puzzles but don't worry about that. Details, details.
