The nightmares she doesn't have.
Miho doesn't have nightmares. How can she, when she doesn't remember her dreams? She would admit to odd dreams, perhaps, if she was pressed. She would say they were strange, not that they were nightmares. That she doesn't remember them, which is true. That her dreams are her business, anyway.
She probably wouldn't say that she's sleeping less. She might admit that she's not eating properly, but only if confronted with it.
She would say it's guilt. She would say that breaking that promise to Eddie, letting him turn into a monster, keeps her awake at night. It does, that's true. She hates to break a promise, and is still scheming ways to keep that particular one.
However.
Guilt is one thing. The dreams are another. She doesn't know why, but carefully constructed walls in her mind have been slowly starting to crumble. Tampering with someone's mind is a terrible thing. And when the mind is in such delicate balance, the smallest alteration can have truly catastrophic consequences.
Eventually. For now, Miho doesn't have nightmares. Just some unpleasant dreams.
