In the last story, Mara explicitly does things for herself; in the three stories before, the people lie about what they want. Can BPR happen without lying about what the person wants? It’s simply rebellion, after all. If Kite said he wanted recognition, he would still be found guilty.

The Mara story is given as an example of something that is not BPR.

Under the BPR model, wanting recognition or admiration is not the root cause of violating the boundary (unless the boundary getting violated is about recognition or admiration). Like Kite is not making the paintings in order to be recognized as a master painter, he is making the graffiti in order to tell an exciting story about the struggle of the working class.
The attempts to get attention after getting caught, and to get others to acknowledge the admirability of his motivations, is not supposed to be the root cause of the BPR, but instead something he does in an attempt to make the BPR go more like the submissive or dominant cases, where he gets his way.
(Meanwhile, I expect that someone who scores high in NPI Narcissism would have a more straightforward enjoyment of attention.)
