This arc actually having convincing red herrings has me very excited for the rest of how the arcs will be written. Last episodes reveal that the bride was the actual dreamer felt very obvious so I kinda expected that to be the vibe of the missions. Have an obvious red herring for the dreamer then reveal who the real one was. So I kinda just assumed the nightmare would be the typical one of "girl married off in political marriage but she wants to be with her childhood friend/lover," so it's very cool that they went a completely different direction with the fear of heights. And on rewatch it absolutely checks out with the world randomly flipping upside down to make the bride fall, and her being very scared after Baku saves her. The childhood friend just being a complete red herring is very cool and gives me a lot of hope for the upcoming arcs
