[Spoiler] What the hell is going on with Hotel Tango in the first arc of DL2?

So I burned out after the first act in my original playthrough of DL, revisited it a few days ago to see if I can do any better this time, but I can't remember anything I did originally.

This time, I chose to check on Sophie because she ain't responding on coms, I get there, go through the motions and now suddenly I'm the bad guy, I've always been working with the PK, I'm a monster for leading them there (despite only just arriving), and now I have to fight them?

Did I have a stroke and miss a crucial part in the story that made me out to side with the PK, or am I being framed? At no point was Aiden like "I've literally just risked my life to rescue your leader from bandits, wtf are you on about", and at no point does anyone explain why they think I've sided with the PKs and how they know I've been speaking to whatshisface?

You get a crossbow aimed at you and your choices both seem to suggest you self-admit double crossing them. Your pal literally tells you there's something shady going on with Sophie's brother, and he's right there! Why isn't there a choice to literally tell Sophie she's being lied to?

I'm so confused! Could someone at least enlighten me a little or share in my vent-y frustrations?
