I don't think it intended to help, i think two different predators got into a fight over food and rhe prey escaped.

It pulled her in a direction she couldn't see, that ended up being towards safety. That says 'helped' to me.

The direction she was pulled caused her head to hit a pipe, she bounced to the opposite wall and found safety. Though because the grip slipped i did wonder if flickerboy had tried one last attempt to grab her and she just thought it was the steam.

Maybe there’s more to the steam monster. Maybe the steam monster figured that the flickering man breaking a rule is enough to really upset things and was trying to stop it from making a mistake.

It’s kinda like how the harvesters used to “help” Kate.

I think its simpler than that. She was in the steam tunnels. Thats not the flickering man's hunting grounds, its the steam monster's. He was encroaching on its prey, and it was pissed about it

I think the steam monster is like an amalgamation of ghosts. Like, many different people's minds combined or something. Just like the graveyard at the Goat Valley Campground, it could be all the people who got lost in the steam tunnels and couldn't find their way out.

Or all the people who opened the wrong doors in the steam tunnels...
