TOXIC SPIRAL AND FORWARD ESCAPE
A "toxic spiral" is a negative cycle or pattern of behavior that tends to worsen over time, feeding itself destructively. Negative actions or situations that reinforce and escalate each other, creating a cycle that can be challenging to break until reaching a point of no return, leading to a "forward escape."
The "forward escape" is a strategy where an individual or group attempts to resolve or escape a difficult situation by taking extreme or risky actions, often without fully considering the consequences. It's an attempt to get out of a problematic situation by adopting impulsive or desperate measures.
This is what happens to our next protagonist: The street was blocked, and she decided to drive her car through a pedestrian area during construction. As she progressed, the situation became increasingly complicated. Everything was insurmountable obstacles, and at that point, her only option was to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult it became, no matter how much damage it caused to her car, and no matter if someone got hurt. Including herself.
The slow motion of the day.
