What in the world was going on? Black spindles appearing out of nowhere? People falling asleep without ever waking up? Yuugi heard about this before from somewhere, but he couldn’t quite place it. He was sure he knew the answer, but it wasn’t coming to him. It was getting on his nerves. Determined to clear his head and hopefully stumble upon the answer on the way, Yuugi decided to check the mysterious spindles out. If he didn’t touch the needle part, he’d be all right.

Yuugi quickly left the mansion in search of a lone spindle. Maybe if went to check out the spindle, he could figure out what was going on with everyone and find out what was bugging him so much about them. Thankfully the mansion was located in the park, where a bunch of the spindles were hanging out for no apparent reason. It was like their natural habitat, except spindles didn’t really have natural habitats.

Even though Yuugi hadn't checked the actual Network in a while, after that whole fiasco with that one guy, he still got Anzu's message about coming home late because of Bakura. He wasn't too worried about Anzu (she could take care of herself), but he hoped that what happened to Bakura wasn't too serious.

Soon enough, Yuugi found a spindle. There weren’t any people close by from what he could see, which was pretty good. He snuck closer to it, though that wasn’t necessary (spindles couldn’t attack people). He heard his other self telling him to be careful. Something about it was setting the other Yuugi on edge.

“I’ll be fine,” Yuugi said, letting his hand rest on the wheel. “If I don’t touch the needle, nothing will happen. That’s how it goes in Sleeping Beauty, right?”

Sleeping Beauty! That’s what the spindles reminded him of. He went about feeling around the spindle, looking around for any sort of tubes that could be carrying drugs or something, and carefully avoiding the needle the best he could. His efforts were in vain, however, as he soon pricked his finger on the needle when he wasn’t paying attention. Which was odd, he was certain he was examining the feet of the thing at the time.

“Ouch!”

“Partner? What happened..? Are you okay?”

“Yeah… I’m fine, just nicked myself a little.” He gritted his teeth, and waved his hand about to stop the stinging pain. It didn’t help much.

“Not on the needle?”

Yuugi nodded his head, more out of sudden sleepiness than assurement.

“Partner?”

“…We should get home.” Yuugi walked a few steps away from the spindle, and then fell down to the ground.

“Partner..? Other self?!”

The last thing Yuugi remembered before he fell asleep was his other self calling to him. He closed his eyes, and thought that Anzu would be mad that he fell asleep in the park.
