How does Kayn's shadow-orb signal work?

Do you see that?
Whenever there's an enemy champion near the terrain Kayn's in, this orb will show up. But it's not clear where it will: I have recorded one such situation in my own game:
To cut short Riven's pursuit, I had walked into nearby terrain. The orb appeared, this time right beside her, even though I had run a long way yonder.
Does anyone have an answer to how it works?

It is an indicator as to where Kayn will be pushed to/placed if his Shadowstep [E] duration runs out while he is still within impassable terrain.
If Kayn is currently within impassable terrain and gets placed into combat, the duration of Shadowstep gets lowered to 1.5 seconds (doesn't apply if Shadowsteps duration is lower than 1.5 seconds when placed into combat).
