I do not know, the Priestest-Gal feels "besmirched!" ^^,

I think what Yuno-1 "wants"--and we are not dealing with a rational chick here!--is to "fix" her mistake at the end of the First World. We really do not know how Yuki-1 felt. Maybe he loved her. He seemed to be content to die with her. Then, Yuno-1 got the "bright idea"--which she uses against Yuki-2 later--that if you are a Deus you can bring people back from the dead. No reason for them both to die.

We all know how that ends.

So I think Yuno-1 wants to replay the game and, this time, die. Of course, Yuki-2 "looks in the room" which changes things in ways we do not know. I guess Yuki-1 probably never learned of her past, never feared her, but then Yuno-1 was probably also not a Divine Death Dealing Yandere at that point either.

Having won the game, seeing Yuki's alive but not alive corpse, and seen an entire universe die, Yuno-1 has no attachment to life. Hence her often first response to anything is to kill it--including Yuki's Mom! Why care when everything dies if you do not win? Having lost the "plan" to simply replay the First World game, she grows ever more paranoid. She also senses that Yuki-2 does not trust her, feel the same way or at least act to her expectations. Hence her complaint that Yuki-2 will not even flirt with her. We can only assume Yuki-1 did.

Soooooo. . . she is disappointed with Yuki-2 at the end. Her "Plan," I think, was to have Yuki-2 be more like Yuki-1, love her, relive their first sexual encounter, then have Yuki-2 kill her. But she does not trust Yuki-2 for Wall of Text reasons to many to type! She does not care about the pain he goes through when she tricks him into killing the Other Kids--particularly when he learns that, no, he cannot bring anyone back. He is a murderer like everyone else.

When he reveals he knows her past--the AXE!!--but, I think, Yuno-1 does at this point have some actual love for Yuki-2 himself and not this idealized concept called "Yuki." So she will re-run the game, prevent Yuki-3 from "opening the door," and all of that, but cannot kill Yuki-2.

More to your "Happy Ending" point: I think, at the end, she realizes a number of things: 1) Yuki-2 does care for her; 2) Yuno-3 has a chance for a decent life now that her father is clued in and her mom will get therapy; 3) She cannot "make someone" love her--so she just cannot assume a Yuki-3 will play the role she wants.

It makes sense in that we see how hard Yuno worked to prevent Yuki from starting a relationship with The Girl with Glasses. In the Third World, left alone, Yuki starts dating TGwG and does not remember Yuno at all. Yuno--now Yuno-3--is "happy" but feels something is missing. . . blah. . . blah. . . blah.

I do wonder what happens if Nihijima-3 captures Minene-3. There probably is some fan fiction out there. . . I will not search for it. ^^;
