[Synchro's residents enjoyed it well enough, but they made it pretty clear during the tournament that it was because of a twisted view of society. Admittedly, Shun never got the chance to ask the other Lancers how they felt about having to watch that, but to him it just felt like a display of the cruel status quo of that dimension.
As frustrating as it was, his last experiences in Synchro weren't actually that bad compared to a lot of his others, so he's fairly neutral about it when he goes on.]
I was sent down to the garbage sorting facilities they'd enslaved the losers in until they couldn't work anymore, and for a while I went along with it. The work was easy for someone like me, and breaking out was something that needed to be timed right. But before long, Crow was brought down as well, and he was telling the guards that he'd seen the forerunners of an invasion - he'd heard about Academia from me, so I knew it was them, and that was when I knew it was time to escape. I took down some of the guards, and a few of the other sectors down there started a riot at the same time, and we all managed to get out of there working together. The city was in chaos, and Roger had captured Hiiragi Yuzu - the girl from Standard with Ruri's face - to use as some kind of leverage against Academia. She got a message out to Yuya, and after I met up with some of the other Lancers, I used my Raid Raptors to pull us all out of the riots and conflict in the city and get us back to the duel stadium so Yuya could fight the city's dueling "king".
[As he goes on, he sounds more engaged, reminiscing about the events of that duel.] I hadn't trusted Yuya by anything but Yuto's word before then, but watching him fight to change the city like that, completely firm in his beliefs but adapting what he needed to for the sake of getting that message across...that was when I really knew it hadn't been him who killed Yuto. And after that, I was ready to call the Lancers allies. We headed into the city to break up the fighting between Tops and Commons, but even as the city council finally spoke out to step down and return the city to the hands of the people after Yuya won, Roger was trying to escape with Yuzu. We headed to the Security tower to stop him, but he completely lost it and tried to drag Synchro into the space between dimensions by opening a wormhole. It consumed him and sent him hell knows where, and Yuzu too, and we thought it was over then. But it opened again, and Yuya had been so close from trying to save Yuzu that it started dragging him in. Two of the other Lancers and me tried to stop it, but it just meant we all got pulled in with him.
[There's a short, but deep pause as he finishes saying that, and his next words are full of a difficult-to-read emotion.] When we woke up, it was in Heartland.
