Perfect Obedience Buff/Debuff? Spoilers

[TheNightglow]

So I was just randomly exploring and found the "beating heart", where I was told I was being freed from the "Perfect Obedience"
I was really confused what that meant because this obedience has never been mentioned anywhere before

now a long time after that I found a quest giver in a hospital and at the end of the quest the "beating heart" is mentioned as something I am not supposed to know about yet and I was given a debuff called "Perfect Obedience"

did I do those 2 sidequests in the wrong order? am i now forever stuck with "Perfect Obedience" because I did them in the wrong order? what even is this debuff doing?
the debuff description says nothing about what the debuff actually does

The game is broken in many aspects, quest continuity is one of them.

My theory is that the perfect obedience is a buff/de-buff you get for completing the Bee Queen quest. I also believe completing Act 2 main quest should remove that buff/de-buff but I still have it at the end of the game. I assume this will play some role at the end.

Yah you did them in wrong order.
I feel like "hollow" and "perfect obedience" were suppose to lock you into certain hidden endings but they couldn't finish it in time.

Another narrative choice they fumbled was siding with the butcher in A1, the game still progresses like you found the secret so the dialog makes no sense.
