Daigo's pretty, non-descript, two story house in the middle of the Inaba residential district. On the outside the house is for the most part a beautiful little house for a small new family. However the sole inhabitant of the house is Daigo Umehara. His parents didn't quite know why Daigo had asked for so much money at once but they were busy with work and didn't give time to ask any questions about it.
The house, while looking quaint and pretty on the outside, is not so quaint on the inside. The house has its own indoor lap pool, underground training gym, a bed room fitted for a king for the young owner, a bunch of guest rooms, and a five star kitchen with stacked fridge with almost any food available.
Daigo has become accustomed to the solitude of the house planning out his own little training sessions for the gym and pool. At night he packs up his bags and goes out to look after his friend Dan Sekohara from the shadows to make sure he is okay.

♛♚Daigo Umehara♚♛
 Daigo laid out on the sofa with an ice pack against his forhead and a bowl of ice cream on the small mahogany coffee table. Picking up the TV controller he flicked through channels with a bored look on his face. Why was mid day TV so boring anyway? He turned the TV off and sat up carefully. He had spent some of the previous night summoning Gekigami and learning how to mostly control him. The giant tiger was unendingly stubborn but with the long night of fighting his persona had eventually bent to his will. The continual practice gave him a horrible brain busting head ache and now he was definitely suffering. Taking a spoonful of ice cream Daigo smiled his light charming smile to no one in particular. It was a childish affection for the sweet treat but it felt good to finally relax. Coming to this tiny town to follow a friend was a huge step for him and if it weren't for Dan he could have been happy back at home. Daigo took another spoonful of Ice Cream and laid back, ice pack on his head, and with a relaxed sigh Daigo waited for sleep to take him back so he could get over this horrible head ache.

Kin Hiragi Kin had just come from getting some skewers for lunch, and decided to go and eat with Daigo.
She walked calmly and lazily to the front door, giving a brisk knock, before leaning against the door frame and letting out a light sigh, an unlit cigarette hanging out of her mouth.

Daigo heard the wrapping of knuckles of his solid wood door and in moments he was standing behind it, vest on, hair perfect, cigarette and lighter already at his lips. He lit up...took a long drag and then opened the door. Slipping the lighter into his pocket, and then grabbing the cig from his lips he blew the smoke directly into the face of his reverse trap acquaintance. "Very nice to see you Miss Hiragi." Putting the cig back between his lips Daigo grinned and stepped outside and locked the door quickly behind him. He wasn't exactly ready to have someone inside his house...or atleast not someone of such little family wealth. She would probably keep her shoes on in the house or even put her feet up on the table. It wasn't ill intentioned or even a mean thought, just a left over from his days as a posh upper-class lifestyle back home.

Kin Hiragi 'Miss' Hiragi? Heh...
Kin's signature smug grin crossed her face as Daigo exited his house, the smoke in her face not bothering her in the slightest.
"Hey big guy, you you goin'? Gotten used to shooting yourself in the head yet?" She said before chuckling, shaping her fingers like a gun and holding it to her temple.
While she had gotten used to her Persona, Sugintou, over the last few nights, she wondered how her comrade was doing.

The Black Haired Ex-Hero took another puff and then shot the smoke off to the side away from Kin's tom-boyish face. Shrugging slightly to her question he pulled the edge of his shirt up where Kin would see the butt of his evoker which now had some ivory inlaid into the handle. He had told his butler to do a couple special modifications while he had slept during the night and they came out great. The weapon still fired but now it was a tad more...upscale. "I suppose I am used to it now. Gekigami is quite a handful." Daigo shook his head slightly realizing he was beginning to sound like his old self again. "Do you have any plans this afternoon this Miss Hiragi? And would you mind if I escorted you?" He smiled his charming little smile and awaited his answer the tobacco glowing a slight orange as he took a third drag and spewed the smoke over Kin's left shoulder.

Kin Hiragi Kin nodded in approval, seeing Daigo's modified evoker, then shook her head and chuckled.
"I never have plans. How does the old saying go? I think it was... 'All we are is dust in the wind, dude' Heh heh."
She laughed again adjusting her cap, before looking back at Daigo.
"I don't care where we go, really. Any ideas?"

Daigo's eye brow raised to Kin's little quote. How...interesting? He took one last monster drag on his cig then blew the smoke away; dropping the bud on the floor he quickly crushed it out under his italian designer heel and lit up a fresh one. After one more drag and exhale he was good to talk again. "I do not have any ideas." Daigo took a moment of looking at his shoes before he decided to give the girl an explanation. "I was in the middle of reading Platos "Symposium" When you ended up knocking on my door so I would hope you had a plan on where we could go." He smiled entirely sure his fellow Nyxist would not have been versed in such ancient philosophical texts. Looking her over he realized something and smiled decidedly, he was going to comment on the change he noticed had occured. "Your hair is purple today." It was sort of a question within a statement. He wanted to know why her hair was purple but didn't know how to word it as a question.

Kin Hiragi Kin chuckled once again, true, she had changed her hair color.
Mainly to accommodate a few 'things'
"Yeah, me and ol' Lilith are one in the same now."
Awakening her Persona had changed, and more or less repaired her fragmented personality problem, fusing both Kin and Lilith into one mind.
"Oh yeah, you didn't know Lilith, did you big guy?" Kin stated, not remembering ever seeing Daigo before the gathering.

The Black Haired Ex-Hero shrugged idly to his purple haired companion. The expression on his face was not one of confusion or wondering just the calm charming look that almost never left. Taking the cigarette between his fingers he removed it from his mouth and held it carefully in his left hand. He shook his head plainly before answering Kin's question. "No I never had the pleasure." Daigo smiled softly as he remembered something from the book he was busy reading before being interrupted. "You know according to Aristophanes you are a prime example for humanities attempts to reach its original theoretical state." He sighed as he realized how much of a nerd he must of sounded like referring to centuries dead philosophers and their insane theories about the starting of human society. He looked back at his door for a moment and then to Kin. They didn't seem to be going anywhere and he was feeling up for some tea, but he couldn't just go into his house and leave Kin out there all by herself. Motioning towards he door he smiled. "As long as we are deliberating over where to go would you like to come inside for tea or something to eat?" He shrugged at the oddity of his question. He knew she must have had plans to take them somewhere else but Daigo wasn't feeling quite up to the little town's limited cuisine. Valkenhyn was sure to be back from the store soon and would have some tea ready for them in little time at all.

Kin Hiragi Kin smiled and shrugged, "Oh?" She said, not really knowing if what Daig just said was good or bad.
Her comrade mentioned tea, and she smiled again. "Sure. The owner of my favorite coffee shop was killed the other day. Sad thing that." She almost sounded sincere for a moment there, Lilith clearly showing through for a second.
"If you're inviting me in, then I won't turn you down. I've already interrupted you, so might as well go all the way.

Sincerity from Kin? How odd. Daigo turned from his female companion opened the door and stepped inside waiting for her to follow so he would close the door behind her. He stepped out of his shoes and left them by the door in a perfect row of nearly identical italian leather shoes. He didn't say anything, just hoped she would take note and do the same. Stepping up into his house he motioned to the chairs which sat perfectly clean and pristine in the living room. "Please sit anywhere you would like. I am sorry to hear about your coffee shop owning friend." Daigo nodded and took his usual seat on the couch where he reached out to the table and picked up a small bell. It seemed from the arrangement of his shoes Daigo had realized that Valkenhyn had returned and entered through the back door while he was out. Swining his wrist lightly the bell rang out with a perfect clarity and no more than a second later a tall elderly looking man in a butler's uniform entered the room."You called for me sir?" Valkenhyn the Umehara butler asked politely after a bow to both guest and master. Daigo smiled and nodded to his faithful butler and friend who basically raised him from birth. "Yes Valkenhyn please fetch some tea for my guest and I. Also please bring some pastries for Miss Hiragi here." Valkenhyn bowed and turned to walk from the room. He had bought some pastries for Master Daigo on his trip to the store and it seemed as though this guest was particularly esteemed in the young master's eyes. As long as Valkenhyn had watched after Daigo he had only ever gotten pastries for his friend Daniel when Daigo was not eating. "Thank you Valkenhyn" He smiled to his butler as he left the room to get the refreshments. Turning back to his guest he smiled his charming smile rather than his friendly smile whom only Dan and Valkenhyn had been able to appreciate as of yet. "So tell me more about Lilith. And what did you mean about you two becoming one? Are you skitzophrenic or something like that?" He grinned and looked over Kin, it wasn't like he cared, frankly he wondered if Dan was crazy sometimes himself.

Kin Hiragi Kin slipped her shoes off and followed Daigo to sit down.
That butler of his held a certain aura about him, one that warranted respect, yet didn't ask for it.
She turned back to Daigo after he asked her the question.
"To be simple, yeah, I'm a complete and total nutcase. Lilith, well... I have no idea how the hell she came to be within my mind. But then again, I was never really bothered to think about it.
She lifted her cap and placed it on her lap, then removed her red bandanna and wiped her forehead with it, Purple hair falling free.

The answer that Kin offered was satisfactory, not quite a complete review of who this Lilith was but it probably wouldn't matter seeing as Kin and Lilith were now one being. After a few moments Valkenhyn reappeared and place a full tea service down on the table and a plater full of pastries of every conceivable size and origin and as quickly as he appeared he disappeared leaving his master to entertain the guest. "Thank you Valkenhayn" Daigo called knowing the elderly man was somewhere within earshot of the living room. Leaning forward Daigo poured himself and Kin each a cup of tea. Picking up his tea cup and saucer he sipped at the steaming tea and smiled to Kin. "I like your hair that color." He said completely randomly and unwarrantedly. Daigo may not have wanted Kin to notice but he was left only the slightest bit flushed by his outburst. It wasn't like him and he found it dreadfully embarrassing.

Kin Hiragi Kin smiled lightly and ran a hand through her hair, "I like it too. Though that's probably Lilith talking, heh heh." Kin laughed, though what she said was true, any time before now, you'd never find her near anything purple, nevermind her hair.
