Having your heart reduced to mere shards... Now that was something Yuri would know about, having experienced it metaphorically and in an almost physical sense when her Precure Seed was shattered following the brutal demise of Cologne.
The kind of heart shard she encountered that evening, however, was nothing like what she would have expected.
Cure Moonlight had decided to give chase after feeling the presence of some malicious spirit, one with a vibe eerily similar to that of a Desertrian. When she arrived at the scene, however, the Precure was surprised to find that whatever monster or evil had been there was already gone. Surely defeated by the girl she found in its place... A younger girl sporting a ballet costume.
A Precure? At this point this seemed very likely.
Moonlight suddenly felt the worrying presence once again, more faintly this time. Looking again, she realized it came from a red fragment that the mysterious ballerina was now holding.
That seemed like her cue to step in. Moonlight leaped from her vantage point and landed in front of the ballerina.
She expected the stranger to be somewhat startled by her sudden entrance, so giving an immediate explanation seemed like the most basic of decencies.
"Have no fear, I am not your enemy. But I am going to need to ask you what that fragment is.”
