Yeah that's what I'm thihnking, but realize maybe more like "care" or "was not concerned with anything else"

It also alows the perosn to have "some sort of control" being able to chose to exit, i think thats the most driving force here.

A lack of control, and fear... at least if YOU chose to exit, YOU are gaining control of the situation.

I think the vulnerability is what gets me up there. And maybe what got her.

Is is interesting I remember hearing about some case study of a woman who had some kind of issue that damaged her amygdala, might have been a TBI or even some deformity or something, I forget the deets. But basically the part of her brain responsible for the fear signal was damaged, and she was incapable of feeling it

So they studied her and in an attempt to confirm this did all these various tests and experiments to attempt to elicit a fear response. And only one of them worked

The only way she was capable of feeling fear was to be denied oxygen, to suffocate. I guess proving that suffocation is our most primal fear, independent of that part of the brain
