this is probably the stupidest idea i've ever had

Mission: BWONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
Characters: Horō + anyone who gets caught up in this damn mess.
Details: The loss-of-identity nightmares have been ripping Horō a new one psychologically. My idea here is that the repeated barrage of feeling like a useless, empty shell is starting to take its toll, and maybe in the dreamscape some of Horō's base programming is starting to wake up. The nightmare apparitions are starting to look more like people she knew 1000+ years ago, her sense of purpose is blasted down to bare instinct, etc. Basically, her memories are starting to come back because her sense of self is so worn down. Obviously she can't actually use her gamebreaking timeskip or soul-devouring powers, but...the muscle memory might be there when she's asleep and she might recognize that these are things she Used to Do.

Once the void + nightmares return after Roxy's dangerous stunt, Horō's going to...chase the nightmare wolf/man beast the next time it tries to run from her. Because she is stupid, so stupid, and because it's instinct to chase after the monster that can't be stopped. So she's going to subconsciously try to skip forward in time to chase the monster. Since it's the dreamscape and everything's way cooler and different in dreams, I figured this might have some consequences, even if she can't actually skip forward in time. She will keep trying to chase it even if it means going deeper, making this at least the third mission this month to reference Inception, a movie I used to have memorized and now have completely forgotten.
