When Cinder's arrow pierces Pyrrha's chest, we see red light in the same shade as Pyrrha's aura begin to escape. Except, we were shown her aura had depleted.

I had originally thought the light was Cinder's arrow beginning to burn Pyrrha, but the shade really threw me off.

Now I have a different idea. I now propose to all of you that on Remnant, a person's soul literally physicall dwells inside their body. So when Cinder's arrow pierced Pyrrha, that was her soul leaking out.

(Very possibly quite farfetched, but it helps explain to me how you could transfer someone's soul) .... And instead of being centralized as an orb, like other media tends to depict souls, it runs throughout the entire body, which is why the inside of Yang's arm was glowing yellow and leaking bright yellow droplets.

It's like how, when a Grimm is cut open, there's just red inside, instead of a skeleton and muscle. Except... different.
