I think I’m a monster

So I was just liberating Kishibe Village, and I killed several Mongols (as you do). One of the remaining guys was intimidated, did the bit where he dropped his weapons and fell on the ground. Normally, this would lead to him running away, but nope. He just kept scooting backward in terror and I just kept walking forward with my sword raised. I have the game paused right now, and he still hasn’t run away yet.
