I think Hikari means, running to a location like normal, except the character always faces *the other direction* to the one they're moving. Here's an example:
..W...W
..W...W
WAW...W
.N....W
......W
......W
WWWWWWW
N is Hikari's NPC that's running backwards, around the corner. Beethro waits a turn, and the NPC runs east:
..W...W
..W...W
WAW...W
..N...W
......W
......W
WWWWWWW
The NPC should be facing West at this point. Beethro waits another turn, and the NPC rounds the bend:
..W...W
..W...W
WAWN..W
......W
......W
......W
WWWWWWW
The character should be facing Southwest. Finally, it moves N:
..W...W
..WN..W
WAW...W
......W
......W
......W
WWWWWWW
...and faces South, continuing to run down the passageway.
This is impossible because the NPC can't turn and move(forbid turning) in the same move - however, it can move normally and face a different direction while doing so in the same turn.
