The truth that eventually comes to light, and the decisions that the friends must make, will not come easily...
Episode Aigis -The Answer- is a direct sequel told from a new point of view: Aigis, who has awakened to the power of the wild card, can now wield multiple Personas as the original Protagonist once did.
