What's the story behind Her Fearful Symmetry? (Spoilers for HFS)

[excelatrate]

One of the three new quests in Redux, I was able to wrap my head around most content in the game except this one.

Was the guy simply going insane and fell in love with the literal apartment complex?

I remember at some point there was a conversation about the building having an AI? Was it seducing him...For some reason? We find him crushed and wrapped in cables, not attacked by the monster at large so the building killed him? Or did he do it himself to try and "merge" with the building?

Super confusing stuff.

Simply, yes he fell for the building and it crushed him for it. I think that's the general idea behind the side quest.

I'd actually dive a little deeper than that. I don't remember the name exactly
but when scanning some materials in the lad's room you find trails of a ... how you call it "AA glitch?" Basically the system error behind the Nanophage plague (not only that but an article about nanophage is in his own computer). It is said that Nanophage can cause what appears to be psychotic symptoms. The lad fell in love, thought the building called to him and as he tried getting deeper and deeper inside of it, the lockdown hit and the automated doors crushed our hapless Casanova to death.

In all honesty I found these side jacks really underwhelming (apart from anon quest, which was genuinely interesting), like they were made in a hurry as an excuse to ship out the redux version with full price.
