So, random theory thing (might expand into blog post):

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)
