## History

.At some point in the past, Yuzu ended up committing suicide near Mirror Lake and her soul ended up trapped within the Mirror World. The reason of her suicide is, she wants to meet her interest, Utsuro Hinohara, and search information about Utsuro's birth (you can see it at near of ending if you hear Yuzu after from Tamaki's Cell and you don't go to Rinzhou's Cell, yet). When Mishiro Usui's soul is taken and also trapped within the Mirror World, she encounters Yuzu in the World Center, introducing herself to her and warning her about the Evil Spirits that wander the Mirror World. When she is asked by Mishiro how long she has been trapped in the Mirror World, Yuzu says that she can't remember as she had gotten to living in the Mirror World ever since her soul got trapped, but answers that she had been there for "quite a while now".

Much later on, Yuzu meets the soul of a man named Ryotaro in the World Center. Upon learning from Mishiro that she found and her broke her own mirror, Yuzu is surprised to learn that she managed to do so and even more upon finding out that each of Mishiro's mirrors lie deep within the Mirror World, with Mishiro deciding to go find them all and break them, with Yuzu expressing her concerns for her but is amazed by her determination in doing so.

When Mishiro is able to break her last mirror, she informs Yuzu that, while she was looking for her mirrors, she found Yuzu's as well, with Yuzu expressing her gratitude to Mishiro for being able to find hers and decided to go with her to it. Upon reaching her mirror, Yuzu initially expresses her nervousness but eventually decides to toughen up and look into the mirror. Her mirror takes Yuzu back eight years ago into her past when she was still in middle school.

There she is spoken to by a girl named Utsuro Hinohara, telling her that today was her turn for day duty diary. When Utsuro leaves, Yuzu expresses to herself her longing to talk to her more and reveals that she has feelings for Utsuro before she returns back to the Mirror World. Afterwards, when Mishiro asks her if she will break the mirror, Yuzu responds in confusion but says that she will not break the mirror, thanking Mishiro for making her be able to remember a certain part of her past. Later, she and Mishiro head over to her next mirror and begins to slowly realize that her mirrors must represent something about her own wish prior to her death which could be the reason why her soul got transported to the Mirror World.
