I started playing Metroid Dread a few days ago, and had something happen that really baffled me.

So, I was in this E.M.M.I. Zone early on, and when I went through this door, suddenly it looked like something flashed in front of the screen for a split-second, and then the game acted as if the E.M.M.I. had captured me. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed at the counterattack timing, so my game ended, and I had to continue from the last checkpoint just outside of this E.M.M.I. Zone.

But, how did the E.M.M.I. suddenly get to me like that? Looking at my mini-map, I see the red dot indicating the location of the E.M.M.I. in the upper-left a decent distance away from me shortly before I'm somehow instantly captured. Oh, and following my Game Over and continue, when I returned to that spot and entered the door again, this didn't happen a second time. Was it a weird glitch? Or is there some intended game mechanic in effect here that I'm not aware of yet?

At least I thought to record the last 30 seconds during the loading screen just after the Game Over, so that I could upload this footage and ask about how this happened.
