Nanami's use of the suffix surprised him a little - it was very unusual for such a term to be used between strangers. At least, in his time. Perhaps the modern folk were more casual in their interactions.

Neverthless, he isn't going to deviate from tradition. His usual term of address would be irrelevant in a modern context, but at least he could use its closest substitute.

"Ah, I see." That explained quite a lot. "Well... A Persona is a manifestation of your personality. Think of it as a 'mask' of sorts, used to deal with hardship and adversity." Pause. "As a Visitor - someone who has arrived here from another world - you are able to call upon it. Philemon is the one who offers you this power."

"The item you have there is an Evoker. If you use it, it can help you call upon your Persona." He didn't use it himself, but he had seen others who did. "In Hinoto-Ri, there is an extra hour that occurs after midnight each day, named the Thirteenth Hour. Demons roam the streets during this time, and a Persona can fight them in your stead."

Did that make sense?
