The next door leads to a very ornate room, as if you just walked into a palace. Sitting in a chair is a young man who oddly resembles Souji deep in thought and is wearing an elaborate yukata as if he's royal. No, he's more than that.
He looks up at the sound of a door opening and...why is there a blue door in the middle of his study? Who is that mortal?
"Ah..." She doesn't really recognize him. There had been two people in his dungeon who looked like him but...he wasn't them, if the way Set stirred at the back of her mind was any indication. Maybe the one that had been at Akira's...
"...I think I opened the wrong door." Which was gone now. Dammit, she had to wait before she could open another.
"I...have no interest in assassinating anyone at all, Izanagi no Omikami." Thank you, Set, for supplying the name. Yue sighed, running a hand through her hand...what honorific do you even use with a god?
"Assassination is troublesome and doesn't do any good to begin with."
Izanagi-no-mikoto, Izanagi-sama, or Kami-sama are okay to use around him.
"Ah, so it is Set within you, child." Confirmation get. "So tell me, what business do you have that you needed that requires dropping yourselves into my quarters?" Whatever happened to entering the palace and asking somebody to bring me over? :/
"Set isn't alone in here..." That little mutter...she can't identify the other voices yet, but they're there. Being a wildcard just. Sucks.
"I was looking to an answer...about my Wish, and humanity's Wish, and the price therein. I apologize for coming in so rudely...I still have very little control over where the Key takes me, Izanagi-sama." She's trying very hard not to snark at him. Trying, trying, trying...her genes don't lend well to this.
Ah, so she may be an unwilling player of Philemon and Nyarlyothep's bet (he could've sworn he heard about 'persona' much earlier than that. Was he drunk at the time?). He stayed out of it because he had matters of his own to worry about. Such as waifu not being where she's supposed to be. D:
"Many of my colleagues have various ideas as to what humanity wishes. Depending on who it is you ask, it may be salvation from suffering via death or enlightenment. I have my own opinion but it may be biased since I spend everyday creating 1500 mortals to replace the 1000 that have been taken by her.
"Now as for that Key, it may be trying to help you by taking to someone who has an answer to your liking. Why else have you stepped into heaven?"
"It's taken me a myriad of places..." Yue placed her hands on her hips, tilting her head to look at him. He's...a little different than she would expected of a god. Although considering her experience with gods are...Thanatos, Hypnos, Surt and the bastard in her head, perhaps her view is skewed.
"It may have brought me to you, rather than to Heaven, kami-sama. To look for the hope I lost once along the way...Or perhaps the key just has a sense of humor." Her voice had deepened and eyes gone gold as Set took over.
You caught him at a time where he's been deciding whether or not to reincarnate as a mortal. He's also been not-so-dickish lately and that worries the crap out of everyone who knows him.
"Then why're you still hanging around?" He's a desert god associated with the Underworld. Yeah, he knows. But he's handing control back to Yue, who puts a hand to her forehead. Man....it's always really disorienting to get possessed like that. Give her a moment, she's just...trying to remember who she is.
"He?" For some reason, she's finding she doesn't find you scary and awe-inspiring as a god should. More like...it's something familiar. Can't really put her finger on what.
"The Velvet Mall...you'll see. I guess she wasn't kidding about hitsuzen."

"State your business, young mortal. I'm busy."

He can sense Set within the girl but decides to not mention it. She probably already knows. And yeah, he was at Akira's dungeon...or will be.
"So it appears. If you are looking to assassinate Yamato Takeru, I regret to inform you that he's already dead."

"Assassination is troublesome and doesn't do any good to begin with."
But sometimes it's very satisfying--
"...shut up, Set."

"It's been a while, Izanagi."

Hi thar, Set. "Yes it has, Set."

"You know, there's always been one thing I've agreed with your son on..." He/She yawns, tapping a foot impatiently.
"If there's something that needs doing, just do it." Aren't gods of Chaos fun?

"Yes, he has a point there."

"Ah, I'm sorry but helping you find your answer has instead helped me find mine."
...Derp, oh right. You're disoriented.
"What is your name?"

"Try to remember that when you get to the Mall. Time seems to be going in circles now."

Blue doors...Persona...Mall...Random lost person playing host to Set...
"So he was telling the truth." He says this quietly.
