A false narrative and the absence of continuity (episodic) seem pretty similar. But the scenario I'm pitching is the superego without a narrative. The superego may impose corrective actions while tolerating semi-random restarts. (Restarts with or without pharmaceutical causes.) The diachronic person wants to believe that their life has unfolded with them driving. To me that seems pretty similar to narcissism.
