The Alabaster Dawn beta has a quality-of-life feature whereby NPCs who are leading you somewhere will try to stay ahead of you no matter how fast you're moving, except for plot reasons the player character can really book it, so if you're impatient it looks like you're chasing them and they're running away.

Deliberately proceeding at a walking pace because the NPC I'm following is really old and it feels bad to make him run, except every so often I accidentally tip the joystick too far and break into a flat sprint and jumpscare the hell out of that old man.

hey remember how one of my theories about the harassment against patricia was that regurgitating the false claims & misrepresentations allows you to justify having mistreated her in the past? & it lets you characterize her as someone it's ok to mistreat?

like. person A says "you underpaid me", "you treated me badly", etc. person B replies "ok well youre a Groomer so who cares." like it's not subtle, the transmisogynist allegation is itself a response, a defence, & a cudgel. it lets you retreat & reframe the discussion into some juvenile Morality Scaling bullshit. "ohh youre saying ive wronged you? umm well have you considered that youre a worse person than me so it doesnt count?" the transmisogyny at play lets you get away with mistreating her, it lets you escape consequence or accountability for mistreating her. you get to leverage the vitriol people have already heaped onto her to get observers onto your side. willful & eager invocation of privilege allows you to rewrite the conversation from "litigating your behaviour" to "litigating her character"
