Intro realm where you first meet Puck - enemy swarm disappears if you come to this location

After Puck gives you the Abeyance card and you open the portal, a swarm of Bound appear.

Retreating down this corridor toward the chest at the end will at some point cause all remaining enemies to disappear.

Not clear if it is intended.

If you die to the enemies, Puck will say something in the Abeyance Realm, but if you fight and survive / enemies disappear, Puck does not reference it.
