[yu-] Yugi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, cold and sick of work. He takes out a 頁 page and writes a 願 wish onto it: "I 願 wish there was a warm 厂 cliff spring here". Then he uses his 願 Wish card to make it come true. Suddenly a 厂 cliff that has a spring nestled within it emerges from the tile floor.
