| REFUSAL - DELUSIONAL DAUGHTER |

Understand the Delusional Daughter ending in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, where Cheryl clings to a fabricated memory of her father.

In this scene, Cheryl speaks to Harry, stating, "Dad. You are a hero. The man who died, that wasn't my father. That isn't who I remember. Those memories are all I have - you're all I have." Harry, appearing uncertain, echoes Dr. Kaufmann's words: "I'm not even a ghost..." Cheryl then embraces the memory of her father and begins to cry.

This ending signifies Cheryl's inability to accept her father's death. She remains attached to the idealized 'Hero' figure she created in her mind. The dialogue between Cheryl and Harry is essentially a conversation she is having with herself. The 'Harry' aspect of her psyche expresses doubt about his own reality, but Cheryl suppresses these thoughts by comforting Harry, who represents her own mind.
