Description

### Describe the bug

Dropping wielded items takes an extremely long time.

### Attach save file

[VINNY METROPOLIS!-trimmed.tar.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26614545/VINNY.METROPOLIS.-trimmed.tar.gz)

### Steps to reproduce

1. Load the save.
2. Drop the wielded saber.

### Expected behavior

I expected dropping the wielded item to take a short amount of time. This is because dropping wielded items had been fast previously.

### Screenshots

Research direction

Start by loading the attached VINNY METROPOLIS save on the listed Windows 11 game version and reproduce dropping the wielded saber. Trace the wielded-item drop path and identify why the action is unusually slow; it is done when dropping that item returns to the previously short duration without regressing ordinary item drops.
