You want to "wake up" from the nightmare. You have to wake up to get out of it, and having to wake up in order to not be softlocked in this game is only reserved for extreme situations-this one in particular reminds me of the feeling of freaking out during a panic attack. And the only way you can "escape" is to just be trapped in another even WORSE place. That comfort becomes distorted, sinister, predatory. It may be a rare event, but when Uboa appears it flips all of that on its head. Uboa appears in one of the most normal, comforting places in Madotsuki's dream world that houses one of the most normal, comforting npcs. Kyuukyuu-kun is a character people often point to to support this theory (and I agree, I'd just rather not get into kyuukyuu-kun's relationship to trauma theories since it's extremely uncomfortable for me), but I'd also say Uboa could be a manifestation of an abuser. I think Madotsuki is heavily traumatized, which causes her anxiety and depression which causes her to stay inside, etc etc. Not quite to the visual insanity of numbers world or neon world, but the storylines are just as wild as any of the events in Yume Nikki. I also often have some strange-ass dreams. That's what I interpret Madotsuki's reasons for not wanting to leave as, a mix of anxiety and depression. Leaving the house can be difficult when you have a lot of social anxiety. I, unfortunately, think I can relate to Madotsuki a bit, especially during lockdown.
