Words stay on screen despite state change - normal or no?

Background

I have a project that we are adding a 'help' character to. At the bottom of the screen they are holding a card with the text 'hint?'.  When the user clicks on the character the state is to change to another position and a help bubble appear with help text. When the user clicks outside the character, the character goes back to the normal position.

Problem 

Previewing/testing this, when I click on the character the state changes and the help bubble appears as anticipated. But the 'hint?' text stays on the screen.

I would have anticipated that the text should have hidden/changed along with the character since the text is tied to the state of the character.
