Searching for Another Conclusion

Searching for Another Conclusion is a book that can be found on a table in Room 205 of the Wood Side Apartments in Silent Hill 2 and only appears after completing the game once.

There are three different variants of the book which give vital insight into getting the different endings; however, it seems to be random which variant is given.

The Road to Tomorrow (Clue for "Leave")

 * "The first step to a healthy
 * life is to avoid illness. That
 * may sound obvious, but it's
 * also very important.
 * Instead of working to heal
 * yourself after you're sick,
 * it's better to avoid getting
 * sick in the first place.
 * Also you have to maintain a
 * positive, optimistic outlook on
 * life. It's no use worrying over
 * things that have happened in
 * the past.
 * You've got to get outside and
 * play in the fresh air once in a
 * while, instead of just sitting
 * inside reading difficult books."



How to be a Happy Couple (Clue for "Maria")

 * "Do you really love her?
 * In sickness and in health?
 * If you truly love her, then you
 * must act. It all depends on how
 * hard you fight for her.
 * Whatever happens, don't give up.
 * Always try just one more time.
 * Even though there may be hard
 * times, never turn to another
 * woman.
 * And if it comes to it, you must
 * be willing to protect her with your
 * very life. After all, true love means
 * a willingness to sacrifice.
 * Be true to your heart and with
 * luck, things will work out in the
 * end."



Choosing Death (Clue for "In Water")

 * "When life is filled with nothing
 * but despair, some people choose
 * to end it all.
 * I once chose that path for
 * myself as well.
 * At the time I felt that I had no
 * other choices.
 * After I made my decision, it
 * became the only thing binding
 * me into this world.
 * Sometimes I would cry to myself
 * while thinking of the past, but
 * mostly all I did was plan over and
 * over again how and when I was
 * going to kill myself.
 * I did stupid, dangerous things.
 * I figured it didn't matter since
 * I was going to die anyway, so
 * I went out of my way to invite
 * disaster.
 * I stopped talking to people and
 * it didn't bother me even when
 * friendships grew distant."
