A long journey had been taken in another world. Aiba Yugi had seen things, done things, experienced things he could have never imagined... and with people he could have never imagined having those experience with. Sadly, he was just robbed of the experience that could have changed him in an irreversible way. Ashikaga Kimiko was the name in his mind as he woke before the same computer he'd last seen in this world. Nothing seemed to have changed since he was transported to that other world, bar his computer shutting itself off. He sat in darkness with puckered lips when his eyes opened, having only a single thing to say. . .

"... Fuck," he muttered. Unbeknownst to Yugi, he was being watched through hidden cameras placed inside the box of a room he lived in. Three days had passed since he was sent to that world, and that was all it took for a hidden group to find him as one who disappeared playing Age of Eternity. This group was quite excited to finally locate a player who returned after vanishing, and in such a short amount of time to boot! Yugi, on the other hand, could not have been more disappointed.

He hadn't been dreaming. There was no conceivable way that he'd fallen asleep while gaming, and imagined so very much in what he thought to be a matter of hours. There was also that cryptic message from the Nexus to consider, but he couldn't be bothered to do so. What was he to do about the developing situation with one Ashikaga Kimiko? He felt a desire to find her; doing so would be a very easy task for him. Alas, there was an existence within himself that said otherwise. He'd given her the method of answering the greatest question he could ask her, and the only way that could be done... would be for Yugi to lead his normal life in this world─ that much he understood deep within.
