1.) it's just a tech demo.  It's not really something that requires much story writing. 

2.) Maybe the blue light does something.  Maybe it turns bluer when she gets closer to her destination.  Maybe it turns red when she's going the wrong way.  Maybe it's red when there's monsters nearby.  

There's a huge number of possibilities, it's probably none of them, but it's seriously nothing to get irked about.  

Perchance it does do something besides illumination but I see her use it for illumination during the rest of the demo and nothing else.

Whatever, Unreal's gotta sell their engine somehow...

If a tech demo does this to you, then what game has not bothered you? You must be close to a heart attack every time you play most games.

The fact that this is a tech demo is partially why this irks me so. I think it's safe to say that Unreal wants to sell their engine and thus the writing can come off as transparent when it shows actions and lighting during moments the writing may not call for it.

If I saw this in the middle of a game during regular play, I'd just think it odd and move on.

Wtf, are you for real? This is not a game, it's a tech demo to show off relatable moments in games and how they could look like in UE5. It's not supposed to have any writing or any story consistence.

Hint, there's really nothing happening after the character reaches that final teleport thingy and the end...

Can't believe this had to be spelled out.
