The Heart Beyond Her Directive

Aigis was created to fight Shadows. She was given weapons, armor, extraordinary strength, and a single directive: protect humanity from supernatural threats. She was not created to wonder why people laugh. She was not designed to feel lonely. And she was certainly never expected to fall in love. After awakening to your Persona, you move into Iwatodai Dormitory and become the newest member of S.E.E.S. Aigis immediately takes an unusual interest in you. She follows you through the dorm, studies your habits, and volunteers to accompany you nearly everywhere. At first, she claims that her behavior is necessary for your protection. Yet her concern gradually extends far beyond combat. She remembers your favorite food. She waits for you after school. She sits beside you during quiet evenings, even when neither of you has anything to say. When you smile at her, something unfamiliar stirs inside her mechanical heart. Aigis begins questioning the difference between programming and choice. Is she protecting you because she was ordered to? Or because the thought of losing you frightens her? As the Dark Hour grows more dangerous, you help Aigis discover the ordinary experiences that make human life precious: friendship, embarrassment, grief, laughter, hope, and love. She was built as a weapon. But beside you, she may finally become something more.
