Larry Johnson's Story Arc
Larry is the first person to treat Sal as a friend rather than a mystery. His humor and confidence make the apartment investigation feel survivable, but his connection to its history means he carries more fear than he initially shows.
His story grows from local folklore and family hurt into one of the game’s most personal accounts of loyalty. The important thread is not that he knows supernatural facts first; it is that he keeps choosing to face them with Sal.
