Steps to Reproduce

1. Play 2 v 8
2. Go against Dark Lord or play as Dark Lord
3. Get downed and caged by Dark Lord, or down and cage someone as Dark Lord
4. Notice how the survivor fully screams twice
5. Compare to what happens when another Killer performs the same action

Explanation

In 2 v 8, when Dark Lord cages a Survivor, their full scream is heard twice: when being put on the claw and sent to a cage, and when the cage itself spawns. This should not happen: the survivor is supposed to only make a single sound when being put on the claw, namely the one similar to being put in the dying state. Then, when they appear in a cage, should they do the full scream.

Here are two clips to illustrate the issue: in the first, I get caged by Dark Lord. In the second, by a Trapper.
