Bypassing tutorial cave exit
Description
Normally, the tutorial cave ends with a quest to exit it, and upon reaching the exit you get a message asking you to confirm you do want to leave. However, it is possible to go further into the exit without actually leaving the cave by declining the previous confirmation message and moving further forward. This bug was tested exclusively within official servers on Riparia (as Eo and Kai), Gondwa (as Laten and Tylo) and Panjura (as Rex). Riparia's terrestrial tutorial cave seems to be the one with the most evident result.
Video 1 is as Laten, video 2 is as Tylo, video 3 is as Rex, video 4 is as Eo and video 5 is as Kai.
My diagnostic ID was d091d31c447235790b3cada0f0709b5f when I made those tests.

Outcomes
Observed Result
After declining the exit message, moving forward allows you to keep going further into the "exit" dark area until you hit the rock wall that's supposed to be hidden by said dark area. In Riparia's terrestrial cave specifically, this wall is even outside of the dark area as the screen gets brighter again when reaching it.
Expected Result
Two possible outcomes I'd expect:
- Changing the initial exit message to warn that, if declined, moving forward will automatically make you leave the tutorial cave once your playable crosses a certain threshold,
OR
- Instead of such a threshold, adding an invisible wall so the player doesn't get to reach the other "end" of the exit without leaving the tutorial cave. In this case, the tutorial exit message remains unchanged.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a new playable on any official server. Pick a non-aquatic one on Riparia for the aforementioned "out-of-dark" rock wall.
Once the tutorial is nearly complete, head into the exit, decline the exit message and continue moving forward.
You will eventually reach a wall. Going back into the dark/toward the cave proper will give you the exit message again, but not in all cases (see embedded videos).
