If there was a plot focus, all the characters would've stopped on their own. I'm not sure what you mean by "stopped on their own." The point is that the game is trying to focus the player on the event, not that characters are doing something specific of their own accord to try and prevent themselves from distracting the player. These aren't real people who have to make sure they stand still and not breathe or blink to maintain the illusion.

It's a spotlight moment. Nothing more, nothing less.
