[There's a young man staring up at what seems to be a huge office building, a not!DS COMP in his hand. The tower seems to reach up to the sky, and the very top is covered in dark clouds, with lightning surrounding it.]
[He shakes his head and slips the COMP back into his pocket, before catching sight of Yue. The fact that she has a demon with her makes him even more suspicious than he would be normally. He turns, making sure he has a clear escape route through the ruined city, just in case.]
Yue is unimpressed by his wariness...but that tower...that tower...it can't be. She ignores him for a moment, staring up at it with a mixture of shock and horror.
She whirls, grabbing him by the shirt collar. The steel in her eyes and the fact that they've gone slightly gold is probably a hint you should answer the lady's question.
[Behind this door you will find a temple, though it's mostly deserted. There's a young man, though, sitting by a cave, looking out at a city down the hill. If you know your art, you might recognize both his clothing and the architecture as Greek.]
"No matter what world, no matter what time, no matter where I fucking find you, you never goddamn change." D:< SHE WILL FUCKING END YOU WHY ARE YOU AT THIS TEMPLE.

[The world beyond the next door might feel both familiar and strange. Familiar, because of the figure walking through the forest that's beyond this door. Strange, because it doesn't feel like a reality.]
[But the figure is Isamu, and the 'world' is a dream. The forest looks a bit like Nakano, but the colors are faded. He has his axe over his shoulder, but no demon walking with him. His expression is grim, not really the polite young man he usually presents himself as.]

A dream...it's not the first time. And now that it's a dream, maintaining Set's summon is simple. Nothing but a thought and he's there, and she's him and--this is just weird.
*As Saito stands up, you notice another feature of this place - as he moves, the image lingers, a series of slow-movement photos behind him showing every movement he makes.*
...I didn't think a normal human could come to this place. You used the Mall, huh?
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."

Apparently I was once known as that name, yes. [He laughs, and. Well. That's not a very sane-sounding laugh there, Cain. :|]

Lean down in front of the young man.
"And where are you going?"

I have to find it. Or we're all...

Not a white room, a white space. There's nothing to indicate that any such thing as perspective or normal rules of geometry apply here.
In the center - or is it? - is a young man wearing headphones, sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.*

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."

But sometimes it's very satisfying--
"...shut up, Set."
