Hi.
I see...
So you've lost a friend.
In this world, a great many people die every day.
Until now, I always considered it as natural as the flow of the wind and the water.
But now I think differently.
Because I've made a friend.
Though I don't know if that's been a good or bad thing for you.
Perhaps you think of it in this way?
In the end, people can only live alone.
It's better to avoid connecting to others,
since it will only mean that you'll be hurt when you lose them.
No matter how precious something is, once it's gone, there's nothing left of it.
In which case, you'd rather have nothing from the start.
You don't need anything.
You don't want anything.
Lately, there's something I've begun to feel very strongly.
The end that I've spoken of may be what some call "the Fall."
And it's nearly here.
Though in a way, the Fall may truly be "salvation."
Rather than living in sorrow after losing a loved one,
wouldn't it be much easier to destroy yourself and disappear?
Come.
The time of judgment is at hand!
Pathetic.
Chidori!
Stop this!
It's coming!
Palladion!
Takeba!
On it!
All your sadness and suffering will end together with you.
That may actually be a very joyous thing.
You've been blaming yourself non-stop, haven't you?
You truly believe it's your fault that your friend d*ed...
because you're very kind.
But there's nothing I can do to ease that pain.
There's nothing anyone can do for that.
But...
The one thing I can do is to wait with you for the coming of the Fall.
I know.
Well, well. You're a stubborn one.
I'm not done yet!
If I were to die in a place like this, I...
I would never forgive myself!
I'd never be able to face you either...
...Shinji!
But despite being hurt,
you can't abandon your friends who continue moving forward.
Mr. Aragaki...
I won't ask you to forgive me.
I know this won't make amends.
But even so...
I'll take care of all the rest for you!
But you don't want to lose anyone anymore.
And you don't want to see people die because of you again.
That's why you...
...are going to fight.
Then I'll respect your decision.
Makoto!
Honestly! It took you long enough!
Yuki! Can you fight?
Persona...
Polydeuces!
I'll help too!
Nemesis!
They're getting fired up again!
Don't move!
If you do anything more, this guy—
I request you deliver the finishing blow!
Siegfried!
Finish this now, Yuki!
Take care of the rest for us!
It's over... now.
It seems a new day has dawned.
Both for you, and for me.
My fragmented memories have all finally been reconnected in my mind.
I understand my own role perfectly now.
This day had to come.
It truly hurts me to say it, but I will.
The two of us must part now.
Meeting you has been the treasure of my life.
Even if this is the last time we meet,
the bond that links us will always remain.
Don't ever forget this.
I know this for sure now.
Being able to become friends with you is like a miracle to me.
But miracles can't last forever.
It's really been fun.
Wait!
See you.
We finished it, Mr. Aragaki.
This is the right thing to do, isn't it?
Amada...
She basically has no external wounds.
I haven't noticed any resistance from her either.
Chidori...
That said, she hasn't answered any of our questions.
Takaya and Jin, was it?
Now that they've vanished, she may have an idea of where they've gone.
Who cares about that?!
Chidori is safe and here with us!
I'm plenty happy just for that!
I see.
Plus, we're gonna get to eat tons of good stuff tonight at our Victory Celebration!
True.
Well then, shall we get going?
Even my father's going to make an appearance tonight.
Seriously?!
Is that everyone's?
Yes.
The Shadows who were the cause of everything
have now been exterminated thanks to the efforts made by all of you.
As of midnight tonight, you shall be officially relieved of your duties.
You have truly done extraordinary work.
I commend you from the bottom of my heart.
Well done, Mitsuru.
Yes, sir.
Your dad should've joined us for the party, Senpai!
My father's a busy man. It couldn't be helped.
Senpai! You ordered some tasty sushi for us already, right?
I wish they'd hurry and bring it out!
Sushi, huh?
In that case, I'll take the halibut and reserve some sea urchin for later.
R-reserve?
In that case, I'll reserve some medium-fatty tuna!
We have to say it out loud?
Then I'll reserve a salmon roe!
Hey! Hold on a sec! Isn't it weird to reserve your food?!
I will take a piece of fatty tuna, a tuna,
a shrimp,
a squid,
a scallop,
and a tuna roll.
I will also reserve a piece of sea eel sushi.
You're taking too many!
And anyway, you don't even need to eat!
What an unsightly disagreement.
Kirijo-senpai, may I order an egg sushi as well?
You can tell a sushi chef's prowess by the quality of his egg sushi.
"A sushi chef's prowess?"
Honestly, you're so not-cute for a little kid.
Huh? Going to the bathroom?
Makoto?
Is something the matter?
I just wasn't feeling very well.
I see.
In that case, I recommend you go to bed early tonight.
You won't go and vanish on us, will you, Aegis?
No.
Mr. Ikutsuki said he would not deactivate me even after all our battles were ended.
It's thanks to you and Yukari asking him not to.
After this, I'm returning to the lab for a while for a maintenance check,
but I'm scheduled to return to the dorms directly after.
There is no need for you to worry.
I see.
It's almost midnight.
What's going on?!
It can't be!
What does this mean?!
Dark Hour...
Hey! What's that sound?
Bells?
Where's it coming from?
From that direction.
It couldn't be!
I was right.
It's from Tartarus!
Well, hello!
You're quite late, you know?
Mr. Ikutsuki!
What a glorious day this is.
I've heard the bells signalling the Day of the Fall with my own ears!
What do you mean by "the Day of the Fall," Mr. Ikutsuki?
Mr. Ikutsuki, you told us if we defeated the Shadows,
that the Dark Hour and Tartarus would both disappear!
Mr. Ikutsuki?
Why are you laughing?
You kids have done a great job.
You've fought so hard to grant my wish.
I could never express how grateful I am.
Grant your wish?!
You tricked us?!
The Dark Hour and Tartarus would vanish if you defeated the Shadows?
That's completely untrue!
If anything, your efforts thus far have had quite the opposite effect.
What...
are you saying?
Soon, Death the Almighty shall rise again and bring about the Fall!
"Death?!"
What's he saying? Is he even sane?!
I highly doubt that.
Let's shut him up first and get our explanations later.
Raising your hands in v*olence toward your School Chairman? For shame!
Don't you think, Aegis?
Father!
Mitsuru!
Aegis!
It's no use.
Your voices won't reach her.
Because that isn't your friend over there.
That's nothing but a m*rder machine built to obey my orders now.
That can't be!
Aegis, don't!
Don't you recognize us?
Now, then!
Let the ceremony begin!
The Bells of the Fall have already tolled!
All that's left now is to offer up the sacrifices.
All is as foretold.
Ikutsuki...
are you mad?!
Not at all. But I doubt you can understand that.
You never could understand your own father's ambitions, even to the very end.
Are you trying to say my father was taken with this "Fall" business?!
So you did realize?
I didn't want to believe it was true.
How could it be
that my own father believed in such foolishness as Death being "salvation" for people?!
"Foolishness?"
You truly don't understand a thing, do you?
Aegis!
Father!
It was your father who gave me the means to achieve this.
In other words, I am indebted to him.
Including you, his child, as one of the sacrifices is my way of repaying that debt.
You should be grateful that I'm bestowing this honor!
Stop!
Please, Aegis! No!
Aegis, stop!
Ikutsuki!
Father?
Father!
Aegis... Execute the sacrifices now!
We'll end this!
Aegis!
Haven't you snapped out of it yet?!
Aegis!
I am...
Aegis...
Do it now, Aegis!
Aegis!
Makoto...
Aegis!
Father!
You defective puppet!
No!
Stop...
Stop!
Stop!
What?!
Koromaru!
Why can't you understand?
If the world is allowed to go on this way, it will continue to rot.
To build a new world, we must destroy the old!
I...
I could be the king of the new world!
I'm almost there...
Why did this have to happen?
My father once said...
that he would atone for having to let our generation put ourselves at risk,
even if it cost him his life.
Senpai...
But I...
I wanted him to live!
In the end, people can only live alone.
It's better to avoid connecting to others,
since it will only mean that you'll be hurt when you lose them.
No matter how precious something is, once it's gone, there's nothing left of it.
In which case, you'd rather have nothing from the start.
You don't need anything.
You don't want anything.
Makoto? Have you had dinner yet?
Huh?
Good evening.
What are you doing out here at this time of night?
I'm not—
—Doing anything?
You have nowhere to go?
That's a good thing.
Because that means you can stay and talk with me.
I was just looking for something to do too.
Huh?
I don't—
—have anything to say, so you're leaving?
That's kind of sad for me.
What is it you're afraid of?
You have kind eyes.
But your kindness will cause you to end up lonely.
I don't like seeing a kind person feeling so lonesome.
That's too bad...
Makoto...
Aegis!
Didn't you go back to the lab?
I felt a bad premonition.
Where were you going to go, Makoto?
Does it matter?
I'll go with you!
I'll go with you.
Aegis...
What's most important to me is to be by your side.
But you'll still vanish too someday.
I'm sure you will, Aegis.
I will not vanish.
I will not leave you by yourself.
I'm sure that is the reason I was granted this eternity of time.
Now then, I wonder if you've noticed?
You've undergone a significant change, it seems.
Your daily life and surroundings remain as before,
but that is not what I speak of.
The change had occurred in your mindset.
That is why I have called you here tonight.
Before you proceed,
there is one thing I entreat you not to forget.
You remember this, don't you?
This is the contract you signed.
It says, "I chooseth this fate of mine own free will."
Oh? There's no need to be worried!
I can but obey the decision that you, yourself, have made.
However, you must be prepared to accept responsibility for what occurs as a result,
no matter what that end may be.
Please bear that in mind always.
Well then, I bid you a pleasant evening...
Did you hear about Senpai?
Wasn't it on this morning's news?
Her father passed away, right?
How is Yuki doing?
He looks like he's sealed his heart away somewhere.
He doesn't speak to anyone and just keeps to himself.
What on earth's happened to him?
I worry about Ms. Mitsuru too.
Yeah.
She's so busy with everything from the funeral to selecting a new CEO
that she hasn't had a moment to rest.
But she was his only child, so there's no helping it.
Though it's hard to watch.
Senpai...
So what are we supposed to do from here on?
It's hard to know anymore, isn't it?
Neither the Dark Hour, Tartarus, nor the Shadows have disappeared.
So what are we supposed to fight for going forward?
Chidori...
Hey! You're...
Wait a sec!
You're hurt!
What do you want?
If you don't have business with me, don't bother me!
How can I just ignore it?
You're bleeding.
Here, give me your hand.
I'll wrap it for you.
Why are you so alarmed?
Wouldn't anyone be alarmed by this?!
You should get a doctor to look at this.
I mean, I could go with you, if you like?
You're weird.
No, he's gone now...
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Thank goodness you're okay! We were really worried!
Are you completely okay now?
Yes. The remote control function has been destroyed,
so there's no danger of my will being overridden again.
Makoto!
All right, everyone.
Once again, we have a new member of Class -F joining us today.
I'm Ryoji Mochizuki.
I'd be glad if you all could kindly help me out with things I don't know.
Hey, isn't he pretty cute?
I was just thinking the same thing!
It's you...!
What a coincidence.
Glad to be in your class.
Now then, as for your seat...
That one's open!
Um, actually, it belongs to someone who's just skipping class today...
As I've said, students like that are already dead to me.
Hi, there.
Sorry, I didn't catch your name...
You're no good.
"No good?"
But I haven't even asked you to dinner yet.
Proclaiming me "no good" right off the bat...
you sure are an interesting one.
He just suddenly asked me if I wanted to hang out some time.
It was Mochizuki from Class F, right?
He asked me too!
He just goes up and asks out every girl he sees.
Well, he's certainly consistent...
I feel a disturbance in the public morality of the school.
Um, Odagiri-senpai...
What is it?
I was given this note suddenly.
Do you think it would be rude if I don't contact him?

I heard you were a transfer student too?
It's cool that we have that in common.
I feel like you and I could really get along.
Ryoji!
Aren't you coming to the karaoke welcome party?
I was going to invite him too.
That's no good.
Ryoji is no good.
I cannot allow Makoto to associate with Ryoji.
What're you saying, Aegis?
She seems to have taken a real dislike to me.
Have I done something to offend you?
I cannot state a precise reason.
However, you are no good.
Come on, "no good?"
Makoto, you should say some—
Hey! Yuki!
Karaoke!
Aren't you coming?
What am I doing?
I'm not lying!
Without a doubt, you'd be a star!
I don't care about being a star!
Now, don't say that!
I don't wanna!
Stop bugging me!
What do you want?
You can leave.
Thank you, Mister!
H-hold on!
Stop right there!

Why did you have to stick your nose into this?!
No! My designer suit!

I'll pay for it.
You say that like it's nothing.
But how's a high school kid gonna pay for this on his allowance?
Wait a second.
Now I see, you've got quite a pretty face.
Ever thought of going into show biz?
I could produce the heck out of you!
No, thank you.
You're kidding, right?
And what difference would it make if I was kidding?
I'm through talking. See ya.

You mean Kirijo-senpai?!
Yeah.
People are speculating that she's planning to withdraw from the class trip.
I mean, she's been through a lot.
You're in the same dorm, aren't you?
Have you heard anything from her?
Sorry. She looks really busy lately so we haven't had much chance to talk.
I see.
Right?
Huh? It's you...
Welcome.
Wow, so you work here?
I'll show you to your table.
That uniform looks good on you.
I've got it!
I think I've got a sh*t!
No way, man!
And anyway, isn't the age gap too big?
Your taste in girls is totally hopeless.
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Yuki?
And Mochizuki too?
What are you guys doing?
What a great smell.
Coffee is seriously profound.
Why—
—Am I doing this?
Because it seemed like you really needed money.
And two can earn it faster than one, right?
I didn't—
—Ask for my help, I know.
But I'm doing this because I want to.
Why?
Because I want to become friends with you.
Is that not a good enough reason?
I don't need friends.
You don't need friends?
What an odd thing to say.
It's too bad, but...
I'm pretty stubborn, you know.
If you think you can wait me out, I accept your challenge.
There are more and more of them.
Amada? What are you doing here?
We may not know what we're supposed to do anymore,
but I do know we have to do something.
I couldn't stand leaving things unfinished like this.
I know.
That's...
I see.
So Makoto and Ryoji are...
Hey! Why are you arming your w*apon?!
Ryoji is no good.
But Yuki's been so down lately.
I feel like a friend like Ryoji would be good for him.
It's true.
Having a friend like that could be really good for Yuki.
It could be good for Makoto?
Senpai!
Welcome back!
Is everything okay now?
Yeah. I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately.
I'm fine now.
Fill me in later on what's been going on, okay?
Takeba? What is it?
Senpai, you're not planning to skip the class trip, are you?
If I went on the trip now, I'd just ruin the experience for everyone.
That's not okay!
You take on difficult things while avoiding fun. That's not a way to live!
I don't approve of it!
Whether you approve of it or not...
That was all I wanted to say.
I apologize for bothering you while you were tired.
Good night.
H-hey, Takeba!

Dialogue: ,::.,::.,Default - Style ,,,,,,{\fs\frz.\pos(,)\be.\c&HB&}Ask us for anything!!
Ta-da!
What is it?
It's a Helpers' Club!
We'll go around fulfilling people's help requests for a fee.
Though it'll be an unofficial club, of course.
Why—
—Are we doing such a thing?
Because just working at the cafe isn't going to bring in a ton of money.
We need to gather at least a little more outside of that.
So, shall we go?
I won't go out there.
It's fine, c'mon!
Let go.
Let's go!
That's not what I said!
Anyone need help?
Who needs a little help?
Let go.
We'll give you a great price!
Especially if you're a girl!
What are those two doing?
You! Isn't that eye make-up you're wearing?!
You realize that's against dress code, yes?
I-I'm not.
This could be trouble.
Hey! What are you doing?
And in the middle of the hallway too!
I'm sorry.
My body suddenly started doing this on its own.
Seriously, why are you shadow-boxing in the hallway?
Anyone need some help?
Who needs help?
Are you done tallying it up?
Ryoji Mochizuki...
is good for Makoto.
But then... what is this unsettled feeling in my heart?
It's about time you dropped the silent treatment!
All we're asking you to do
is explain what you guys were doing... what you were really after!
You guys! Couldn't you have given her a little more time?!
Why are you always trying to shield her?
Have you forgotten what she did to you?
I mean, it was a major pain being held c*ptive and she was wrong for doing that, but...
Chidori!
What's happening, Chidori?!
Hey! Chidori!
What?!
A Persona? But why?!
This seizure is...
Where are her belongings?
Were there some kind of dr*gs among them?
Y-yes, I think so.
Chidori...
Thank goodness.
It was the same as Shinji's.
Meaning she's also...
Seriously, thank goodness.
I really thought you were going to die.
Why do you look so concerned?
I'm not afraid to die.
What are you saying?!
Dying just means that I won't open my eyes again tomorrow.
That's all.
Well, I don't want that!
I don't want you to die, Chidori!
Junpei...
You're so weird.
And then she said, "will you come again?"
It was like we were totally in a world of our own.
Like there was no distance between us anymore... or something!
Welcome back!
I heard about your Helpers' Club!
It sounds like it's a hit!
It's just to make money...
Come on, Yukari-cchi!
Where's your reaction to my news?
"I totally envy you!"
Or, "you guys are so lovey-dovey!"
Good for you.
Huh? What's with that bland reaction?
Are you actually jealous?
You're drying up, Yukari-cchi.
What do you mean I'm "drying up?!"
Even now, Chidori is probably thinking of me.
I'll have to go see her again tomorrow!
You should probably stop with that.
What's with that all of a sudden?
The closer you get to someone,
the more it'll hurt when they're gone.
I don't get you, man.
Why are you thinking about her being gone, huh?
It must be boring living your life like that.
Hey! You didn't have to say it that way, Junpei.
Boring...?
Yuki... can I talk to you a moment?
It seems pretty tough being in the Student Council.
Yes. If I don't file these documents, they end up piled up everywhere.
Oh! Please keep it a secret from Odagiri-senpai that I asked for your help here.
Roger that.
Oops, that's the end of our allotted time to help you.
You've been a big help.
Thank you so much!
Sorry about this.
We would've liked to stay and help a little more.
But we have another appointment after this.

You're Natsuki Moriyama, right?
Yeah. So what?
Something awful's happened!
It's Fuuka...
She tripped and hit her head when she was playing with a ball on the roof.
She's pretty dazed and keeps calling for you.
Fuuka...
Fuuka!
Natsuki...
I thought you were hurt?
That was surprisingly fast.
Honestly, it didn't make it easy following you back up here!
What is this? What's going on?!
I'm sorry!
I asked the Helpers' Club to do it.
Why would you...
Because you're going to be transferring schools soon, aren't you?!
Ever since you told me,
I feel like you've been avoiding me.
That's...
When we meet at school, you always run away.
And you don't answer your phone when I call you anymore.
What else could I have done?
That's no excuse for this!
I'd rather you didn't blame her too much for this.
It was my idea to lie to you to get you to come up here.
Yamagishi didn't want to do it.
I thought it wasn't nice to trick you.
But...
it made me really happy that you came for me.
Because I thought you didn't like me anymore...
Fuuka!
Fuuka!
You're such a little idiot!
I knew this would happen.
If we kept hanging out, I knew you'd cry like a baby in the end.
Natsuki...
I thought if I made you hate me now, it would make it easier on you later...
But instead, you thought I hated you...
I could never do it.
I could never hate you!
You dummy...
Ah! You finally smiled.
Aw, why are you turning your face away?
Come on...
Friendship's a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Is it?
Ah, you're not denying it today!
I think I sort of understand now.
You're afraid of losing people, aren't you?
That's why you try to resist forming close attachments with others.
But you're wrong, you know.
Because even if you lose someone,
you never lose the bond that you shared with them.
Like, if I were to vanish someday,
the bond that links us would still always remain.
That's what it means to be friends.
Even if this is the last time we meet,
the bond that links us will always remain.
Let's wrap this up quick!
I'm getting hungry!
Class trip?
That's right!
At our school, the eleventh and twelfth graders take a trip all together to Kyoto!
What souvenir should I bring you?
Nothing.
There's nothing I want.
I see...
Wow, those healed really fast.
How do you do it?
Those are pretty wilted, huh?
I'll bring some new ones later.
It's okay.
Wow!
All I did was feed it some of my power.
Is this what they call "healing power?"
Is that what you used on your wrist wounds?
That's amazing!
It's not amazing.
You have powers too, Junpei.
Maybe, but...
I don't really have anything else going for me.
Take away my Persona powers and there's nothing much left.
I see.
You're different from me.
Guess so.
If I stay here, I'm able to see Junpei.
It's because I know that that I'm able to remain here.
It makes me glad to be here.
Chidori...

You're still up?
I couldn't sleep.
So it's bothering you too, huh?
Yeah.
Though there isn't much we can do about it.
We don't know of any means of eliminating the Shadows and Tartarus anymore.
Aren't there other things you should be thinking about?
Don't ask about things that aren't your concern.
Takeba's pretty worried about you.
Have you made a final decision about the class trip?
Kyoto, huh?
Kind of a clichéd destination.
You think so?
I think it's a beautiful place that's appropriate to make memories in.
You think so too, right?
Don't ask me.
I wonder what kind of traditional inn we're staying in!
I can't wait to see it!
What's wrong?
Do you know where Makoto's gone?
I came here wanting to be alone for a while...
But it looks like you b*at me to it.
There you are!
Ryoji was looking for you!
Actually, we can't go into the inn until the whole group's together,
so you guys had better come back!
Right.
You too, Senpai!
I've already let people know where I am.
You should be fine without me.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Why are you so concerned about me?
To be completely honest,
I've never been very comfortable being alone with you.
But what you're going through right now after losing your dad...
I understand it really well.
And I don't want our relationship to stay uneasy.
Relationship?
There's no need for us to have a relationship anymore.
It was the battle that brought us together.
And now that battle is over.
You really think it's over?
Both our objective and the enemies we were targeting are gone.
What do we have left to fight for?
Everything we believed was a lie. And...
And you couldn't protect the one you wanted to protect.
That's what you're really thinking, isn't it?
Wanting to make amends for Kirijo Group's sins was a lie!
All you wanted from the start was to protect your father.
That's the real reason you fought, wasn't it?
Yes, it was!
The look on my father's face
after that accident ten years ago was that of a man who'd d*ed inside!
Like he had no right to live
because he blamed himself for everything that happened!
It was so he'd never have to look like that again that I've fought all this time!
But you saw what a joke it all turned out to be!
I was right there, nearest to Ikutsuki this whole time!
Yet I fell right into his trap and was helpless to stop him!
It was all for nothing in the end...
I may as well not have existed!
I'm sorry.
But whether it was all for nothing remains to be seen!
Takeba...
Do you remember that video we watched in Yakushima?
Of the accident from ten years ago?
It was a fake,
tampered with by Ikutsuki so that it would back up his story.
Fuuka recently found the original recording and...
I watched it.
My employer has changed and become obsessed with a horrific idea.
This experiment should never have been conducted!
That's why I've overriden and disrupted it.
Please, listen carefully to this.
I beg you to take this warning to heart.
Do not hunt the scattered Shadows!
They're attempting to consume one another and reunite as a whole.
But if they succeed, all of us are finished!
I'll say it again.
Do not hunt the scattered Shadows!
My father tried to prevent the disaster he could see coming.
He tried to the very end...
even at the cost of his own life.
That's why I've decided to fight.
I want to continue fighting to destroy the Dark Hour.
Because I want to carry out my father's will.
Carry out his will?
That's what I...
No, what we can do for them, Mitsuru-senpai.
Takeba...
You're right.
Nothing's over yet.
So I'll just have to see it through.
For my father in heaven...
And for you.
Senpai!
Yukari... will you fight as well?
With me?
We're here!
This is one fancy inn!
There is water contained in the stone-paved outdoor area.
Is this the "open-air bath" I've heard so much about?
No, that's just a decorative garden because everyone can see all from the lobby.
I see.
Oh, yeah!
So where was your old school planning to take their class trip, Ryoji?
My old school?
Where were we going?
You seriously don't remember?!
Who doesn't pay attention to where their class trip is going to be?
Boys are this way?
And the girls' rooms are this way.
We'll see you later, then!
Seriously! Stop following us already.
You're supposed to go that way!
You're over here, Aegis!
Huh? Where's Makoto?
He was here just now...
Again?
Seriously, what is up with that guy?
That's kind of cold.
Aren't you guys dormmates and all?
Well, yeah, but...
Lately, I don't know what's been going on with him.
He's having a hard time because he's too kind.
He's kind-hearted.
But he's also hopelessly awkward.
So to keep from hurting others, and to keep from being hurt himself,
he's built up a thick shell to hide inside.
And because it's so thick,
it isn't easy getting inside and actually reaching him.
But the truth is, he actually wishes to protect everyone with that thick shell.
You sure understand him well.
Yep. I know him like I know myself.
He's awkward?
Which is why you should let things slide with him.
Jeez. Guess I'll have to.
Kyoto really is amazing!
I definitely want to come here again!
Hey.
Join me for a bit.
What's wrong?
You're doing nothing but defending.
If you don't att*ck, you'll never win.
Defending sure is important.
But isn't it more important to find something worth defending?
What good is a life that doesn't have something precious to defend?
True, it does hurt losing something precious.
I know that very well, too.
You never change.
You always go off and do whatever you want without a word to anyone.
Couldn't you think about how I'd feel once in a while?
I bet you'd say that should be your line.
You're right...
It was me who kept rushing off alone after power for my own reasons.
Ever since my sister...
Ever since Miki d*ed, I've done nothing but try to gain more power.
I thought if I just had enough power, I could protect anything I wanted.
And look how that turned out!
Even you've passed on now, without me!
It's like you're laughing at my desperate efforts!
I've always known that going into battle carried the risk of death with it.
But I've been so obsessed with fighting that I couldn't see anything else!
No matter how fast I ran or how much of a front I put up...
...it ended in this mess!
Senpai?
That's how it always goes.
You only realize how precious something is after you lose it.
Even so,
having and losing something precious is a million times better than living an empty life.
Even if it hurts.
Welcome back!
Yo! Want some of this?
What is it?
A midnight snack, of course!
We can't do something as lame as sleep during our class trip!
Naturally!
We wouldn't sleep during a class trip, now would we?
Infiltration successful.
Aegis, what are you doing here?
I judged it was unfair that Makoto and I were not in the same room.
Ryoji, please switch rooms with me.
I get to sleep in the girls' rooms? Really?
No, not really!
I would die of jealousy!
In that case, please feel free to go with him, Junpei.
What, really?!
W-wait!
Why do we have to leave through the window?
Can't we just go through the door?
No, you can't.
Aegis... Hold on...
It's too narrow!
There's no way we can climb across these balconies!
I had no trouble with it.
Yeah, but we're not like you!
Wait! I'm falling!
Ryoji!
Makoto!
Aegis!
What? What was that sound?
No clue.
- Cold! Too cold! - Towel!
Hot water!
Makoto?
This hot spring is supposed to make your biceps grow.
Did you notice that both men and women use this hot spring during different times?
Oh, really?
Then maybe it'll change over while we're still in here.
It wouldn't be our fault if that were to happen, right?
You two!
Shh!
Someone's coming.
All right! No one's here!
It's all for us!
It looks even bigger this time around!
None of the beneficial properties of this hot spring would work on me.
I will request that they improve its features.
It's them!
Why are they here at this hour?!
Ooh, Yukari and Fuuka!
We sure are lucky—
Ryoji! Do you have a death wish?
Who's there?!
Is someone over there?!
What is it, Yukari? Did you see something?
Mitsuru's here too?!
Hey...
If the times have changed over, we're in serious trouble!
But it was definitely the men's time when we came in.
Wouldn't they let this slide as a half-joke?
You think they'd accept an excuse like that?!
If they find us here...
If they find us here...?
We'll be ex*cuted.
E-ex*cuted?!
I'm sure I heard something.
Really?
I'll go check.
They're coming!
We don't have much to work with, but we'll make do.
Time to start our mission!
Mission?
A mission of survival!
Consider failure an instant death sentence.
R-roger that.
Let's survive this.
All of us!
Is someone there?
If we can make it over there swimming underwater, we can escape.
We can do it, right?
But that's the back entrance, isn't it?
I think the only way back in is through the banquet hall.
It's still better than being found by Mitsuru!
A-Aegis...
That's not the right way to bathe in a hot spring.
That was cutting it close!
And now, our escape!
Junpei?
What's wrong? Hurry and get out here!
I think this is the end of the line for me.
You guys go on and escape without me.
What are you saying?
You have to come with us, Junpei!
Come on!
I can't!
Junpei...
Are you really...
It's because my...
My towel...!
You idiot!
Forget about me and go!
At this rate, we'll all die!
You think we could just leave you behind?!
Junpei, look! A leaf!
Here's a leaf!
Don't mock me!
Don't give up, Junpei!
Didn't we vow we'd survive together?
I'm sorry.
Am I still unable to protect anyone?!
Who is that back there?!
Th-this isn't what it looks like!
It was an accident!
S-silence!
Off with their heads!
Aegis...
It's a shame we must part so soon.
W-wait!
Seriously, stop! Please!
I'll never forget yesterday.
I'll never forget no matter how much I want to!
It was a nightmare.
It really was an execution.
It was a nightmare.
Make an effort to forget.
Is that a gift for someone?
Yeah, but I'm not sure which one to go with.
It's not easy picking one.
Is it for your girlfriend?
Well, that's, um...
Yeah, I guess you could call her that.
I guess.
Junpei looks like he's having fun.
It's good he's having fun.
Hair pins do make good gifts for girls.
Guess I'll do the same!
How many girls are you giving gifts to?!
Junpei's getting back tomorrow.
What? Why...
It hurts...
Ow! It hurts...
I'm scared...
Why?
What?!
It's been a while.
That voice...
I'm so glad we were able to meet again.
Jin. The items from earlier.
Now there's no reason for you to stay here a c*ptive any longer, right?
Takaya...
You understand, don't you?
There's no place for you here.
The only place you have is with us.
You should already know that death is not a thing to be feared.
The only thing to fear is...
I know, Takaya.
Good girl.
Yes, it's all his fault.
It's because he got close to me that the pain and agony came...
and I began to fear death.
Farewell, Kyoto!
It was fun.
We made some good memories, huh?
Yeah, we did.
Man, I'm exhausted!
Lucky! I wanted to go to Kyoto too!
We bought you some souvenirs, so hang on!
Koromaru, we brought you some spoils...
I mean, souvenirs, as well.
Huh? Where's Junpei?
He went straight to the hospital.
He said he wanted to give her the souvenir.
Chidorin!
Still nothing?!
Have you still not found her yet?!
Calm down, Junpei.
You'll distract Yamagishi.
Damn it! Where did you go, Chidori?
It'll be okay, Junpei.
Fuuka will definitely find her.
Then why...
do I have such a bad feeling?
Junpei...
I found her!
She's in Tartarus!
Chidori!
What are you doing?!
You know you shouldn't be out of the hospital yet!
Let's go back together!
Okay?
Watch out, Junpei!
Chidori...
You people...
You really are an eyesore.
There's no choice but to erase you.
What are you saying?!
Come on... Come back to your senses, Chidori!
This isn't how things are between us, right?!
Get back, Junpei!
She's dangerous!
Persona!
Chidori...
We've got no choice but to fight!
Prepare yourselves!
Iori!
If you don't fight, she'll get you!
Why?
Tell me why!
Polydeuces!
Stop!
What are you doing?!
Please, stop!
Chidori's not like this!
Chidori's...
Takaya was right.
You only get in my way!
Mr. Sanada, look out!
Koromaru!
Koromaru!
att*ck mode, Supplemental!
Chidori!
This pain...
...is nothing compared to the heart's pain.
Arahabaki!
It's no use.
I can't stand here and watch this!
Junpei?
Please, everyone!
Let me handle this...
by myself!
Don't, Junpei!
It's too dangerous!
Do you want to die, Iori?!
You think I'd let myself die?!
And make Chidori into a m*rder*r?!
Like hell!
What do you want?
Chidori, just stop.
You don't want to do this!
Why should the two of us fight? It's wrong!
It's not wrong!
Because this isn't where I belong!
I've known that...
from the very start!
Junpei!
What are you doing, Akihiko?
I know he's an idiot.
But he's a man!
Let him at least try to convince her.
Senpai...
Why?
Why won't you att*ck?
You should just k*ll me!
k*ll me!
Junpei!
I couldn't k*ll you...
I could never k*ll you!
Why not?! I'm not afraid to die!
Death isn't what I fear.
What I'm afraid of...
What I'm most afraid of...
is growing attached to something.
I'm afraid of growing attached to something then losing it.
Be it to things or my own life or anything else...
That's why we need to live and enjoy ourselves only in the present moment!
And yet you, Junpei...
You came and gave me pain I didn't need!
Chidori...
When you're with me, Junpei,
I start fearing all the things I didn't fear before.
Now I'm afraid of loss.
The truth is, I'm even afraid of dying.
And I'm afraid of the moment when our time together ends.
That's why I...
I'm sorry for making you feel afraid.
But it's the same for me.
I'm scared of losing you too.
Nothing scares me more than the thought of not being able to be with you anymore.
That's why...
That's why we should be together, don't you think?
Because we're both scared to be alone...
we care for each other so we don't lose one another.
Junpei...
Chidori...
That's right.
That's right, isn't it?
Makoto?
Chidori.
It looks like you're beyond help now.
You've been poisoned by those people.
You bastard!
He's not breathing!
Junpei!
No!
Junpei...
No!
Chidori?
You know, it was only after I met you
that I started thinking for the first time...
...about what I, myself, wanted to do.
I want to be with you, Junpei.
I want to be with you always.
U-um, I, uh... I feel the same.
But it's painful.
Because we only have a little time before...
Before what?
We're not like the rest of you.
I've known it since I first received a Persona.
For a Strega, the day her life ends is...
It was only after I met you that I realized death could be scary.
Because if someone dies, you can never see them again.
That's why...
That's why you can't die here, Junpei.
This guy...
He's stronger than he was last time!
What do you think?
My strength continues to increase even now!
I find it endlessly amusing...
...that fate should let us, who have no attachment to life,
be the ones to live!
This power...
I'm...?
...it's the opposite of mine.
Mr. Junpei!
Her Persona doesn't sense life,
it emits it!
But in order for her to resurrect a person,
she would have to...
Thank goodness...
Chidori!
I can hear the life pulsing through you...
"Badum, badum," it says.
Now I'll live on inside of you, Junpei.
We'll always be together...
Chidori? Hey! Stay with me!
What are you saying?! Hey!
From here on, I'll protect you, Junpei.
Always...
So will I!
I'll protect you too! So, please...!
It feels so good when I'm with you, Junpei.
Chidori!
I love you, Junpei...
Thank you...
Chidori?
This isn't real, is it?
Chidori!
Wake up! Answer me!
Chidori!
Junpei?
That fool...
How could she have chosen such an ignoble end?
Ignoble?
It changed?
You'll pay for this!
You!
I won't let you!
You piece of crap!
It's over!
Makoto!
In the end, people can only live alone.
That's not true.
It's better to avoid connecting to others,
since it will only mean that you'll be hurt when you lose them.
That's not true!
I'll mark you all...
...and blow you to pieces!
Mitsuru-senpai!
I'm all right, Yukari.
No matter how precious something is,
once it's gone, there's nothing left of it.
In which case, you'd rather have nothing from the start.
That's not true!
You don't need anything.
That's not true!
You don't want anything.
That's not true. I...
I won't run from the bonds that tie me to others!
What is this power?!
It's all or nothing!
Orgia Mode, activate!
Damn it!
This is enough for now, Jin.
Got it!
Damn it! We let them get away!
Chidori...
This arrived from the hospital this morning.
It seemed right that you should keep it, Iori.
These are Chidori's drawings.
What did she draw?
Stuff you probably won't be able to identify.
She drew stuff that no one could comprehend.
What's so hard to comprehend? You can identify this one easy!
Really, what a wonderful portrait!
It's a tad too flattering, though.
I... I know things ended up like this,
but there's one thing I can say.
I'm glad I met Chidori.
And I'm glad... I fell in love with her.
I see.
Yeah, it's good.
Really good!
Right?
What?
I was thinking that you'd changed.
There's a kind of softness in you now.
I've decided to accept.
Your friendship.
That makes me really glad to hear.
What's wrong?
My head just hurts a little...
I'm fine. It's nothing.
These were all in Ikutsuki's study?
Yes.
I've learned a lot from his files.
It seems Ikutsuki was involved in Strega too.
This...
But there's something more pressing to deal with.
What is this reaction?
My past data recordings... are playing backwards.
My memories...
are returning.
You...
Without realizing it, I found myself here like it was natural.
I don't understand it myself.
The sky and ground are both such a strange color...
and there are no people anywhere.
Have you forgotten?
About Dark Hour?
It's a time that regular humans can't set foot in.
Despite that, you seem to have adapted well.
Perhaps impossibly well for a human.
It is the time of awakening.
A presence that has long slumbered is awakening tonight.
It wakes to bring an end to the world.
An end?
You should already know all this.
What is this?
It's all written clearly here.
The Shadows of the Arcana...
and the being that comes after them...
The being that comes after them?
The destruction of the world that Ikutsuki mentioned.
It wasn't just mindless blather.
I finally understand.
This is the truth behind the feeling you invoked in me
from the first time I saw you.
The truth behind your feelings?
You are not good.
You are the enemy.
Me?
The enemy?
We've met before...
as enemies.
I...
What is this? Who are you?
I am Aegis,
the last remaining Anti-Shadow Suppression w*apon.
A machine created to destroy Shadows.
And you...
When the Shadows of the Arcana are gathered,
they create the Shadow of the th Arcana.
Its purpose is to bring destruction upon the world, and its name is...
Your true name is "Death."
You are the Shadow I sealed away ten years ago.
I remember...
who I am.
What I am!
Palladion!
Stop this, Aegis!
Aegis!
Why...
