Sounds like a glitch. He should just walk away. Additionally (at least when I've played) part of the trigger script slows your movement down so it isn't actually possible to run at him and get directly in his face.

I'm not sure it's a script, I thought it was you just losing your sanity...no you're right my bad

But yes I did try to run up to the Mr.Face, and I couldn't, and I also tanked the shit out of my sanity.

I think after that I collapsed at least 3 times from loss of sanity lol
