[recorded real experience] (A ghost story cut-scene pinch situation. Whit Hu Tao.)
*
In short, when entering the ghostly forest at Wuwang hill (Liyue) it start the character story cut-scene. But there were Hilichurls that got agro whit the presence of the of Traveler. It nearly was like: "Look a Traveler! And its lock in the cut-scene. This is our chance! Lets get him/her!!"
As the duo stop to make a dialog, those Hilichurls just rammed the Traveler and knocked it from the camera shot.
So while the sounds of the Traveler being beat up by the Hilichurls, the dude from that funeral home start to freak out.
Then during the sound of Traveler dying [off screen], that guy yell (Ghost!!) and run away. [normally that shall be addressed to Paymon]
So after that guy run away, the Hilichurls are returning to they camp, passing the camera shot, passing around Paymon, making some commentary or noises and just walked away.
All that time Paymon acted like she doesn't give a F* about what is happening to Traveler.
Of course many can expected what happened when that cut-scene ended… The Traveler visited that particular Hilichurls camp crunching its joints on the hands, (You have no idea of how badly I will spank you).
Those Hilichurls look up at the Travel, and it was nearly like: "It was worth it."
