I know the spider scene in Arc V, the one where Yuugo and Rin hug in a dimly lit room, is supposed to echo the idea that Yuugo (as a shard of Zarc - represented as spider) is a bad influence on Rin (as a shard of Ray - represented by a butterfly), but I swear the spider is more likely Ray.

Ray with her 8 limbs of various dimensions and some 8 eyes of various dimensions, who weaves thread (people) into webs (new realities/dimensions) for her prey (Zarc) to get caught on so she can eat them (trapped in so she can play warden on his soul shards)

And Zarc, a butterfly, who gets trapped (Yuuya, Yuuto, and Yuugo all have exceedingly close relations with their respective parts of Ray) But unlike the butterfly (trapped and eaten) he escapes - and gets eaten (forcibly split off from his body and stuffed in next to Reira's soul as to recage him) anyway.

Correction: got the "what the scene is supposed to be doing" wrong and didn't notice. It is actually Yuugo getting led into a trap that nearly gets him killed, because Rin has the parasite in her head by that point. Ty Blastthechaos for correcting me on that 'v';; I really don't like the brainwashing section of Arc V so it doesn't surprise me that I got this wrong.
