I remember the MV Youmu story being particularly esoteric; only Flandre's is similar about clearly being a trip to inner consciousness, in her case to the point you couldn't tell if she was being messed with by beings of other dimensions, her more draconian inner self or her subconscious crazy persona fragments. I think you got genuinely filtered because they chose to avoid go full exposition for once.
The story is not that hard to follow but you have to keep in mind that the characters in Ruins of Memories episodes aren't always the actual characters, like when she meets Komachi she is a 'guide' that resides in that space, or when Sakuya gets almost brainwashed by Eirin is left to interpretation if that actually happens, or if that Eirin is just a representation of her own inner confusion at her lost past and self, because in all these scenarios the Lost Word mastermind has stolen some concept, someone, or even the entire universe of that character and they have to rebuild themselves as if they went through an ego death.
I mean, even her LW is about her gaining enlightment realizing her true self, her other spellcards are memories of her everyday at the Netherworld, and the Yuyuko is a memory left by Yuyuko, said by herself in the character quotes
