Author's note: Spoiler to episode 131. Although Youtube is known for showing spoilers. Basically, it's about Yuzu's last thought before she became a sacrifice to the machine that was supposed to bring back Ray and unite the four dimensions together. I'm ready to shoot myself in the head after this. Expect strong YuyaxYuzu (aka Fruitshipping) in this one-shot, though. Sorry for the fact that it's really short.
Disclaimers: I don't own Yugioh Arc-V.
Vessels
There were two things Hiragi Yuzu noticed before she loses her consciousness and collapsed inside the glass tube she was trapped in. The first thing she noticed was that her counterparts (Serena, Ruri, Rin) have also lost consciousness and collapsed at the same time. The second thing was that her childhood friend, Sakaki Yuya, was still bound to the pillar with Binding Swords of Impact, thanks to his father who wanted to stop him from brutally defeating Akaba Leo (and by extent Reiji). Even after becoming unconscious, Yuzu could barely hear Yuya screaming to release him.
Speaking of Yuya, while she admitted that she was scared to see her close friend under influence by the darkness (who happens to be Zarc), just seeing him in that state made Yuzu's heart broke and wanted to cry. She could tell he was suffering. Everyone else could also see that.
Everyone except Leo that is. After all, Leo saw Yuya nothing more than a demon, since the latter and his counterparts were reincarnations of Zarc, the demon duelist. The one who tried to destroy the world. As for Yuzu, she and her counterparts were nothing more than vessels to him, since all four of them were reincarnations of Akaba Ray, who sacrificed herself to stop Zarc. And Leo would do anything to bring his daughter back.
And now, Yuzu was completely defenselessly. She didn't want to submit to fate, but at the same time, there was nothing she could about it.
As the machine continued the progress to fused the counterparts together to bring back Ray, Yuzu thought back to her childhood friend, the one she truly cared about. Even if he was possessed by the demon duelist, she knew that Yuya is still Yuya. She prayed that Yuya and the others will put the end to Leo's madness. If not, at least, she would like to see Yuya turned back to an idiotic, fun-loving friend she always knew and loved.
That was her last thought before she faded away...
"Yuya..."
