With powers and encouragement from his friends, Makoto seals Nyx away and eliminates both Tartarus and the Dark Hour.Ī month after the battle against Nyx, Makoto and the others head to school to attend Mitsuru and Akihiko's graduation ceremony, having lost all memories of the Dark Hour after the battle. Determined to go through with his decision, Makoto fuses Orpheus and Thanatos into Messiah and flies into the moon where Nyx's core is located. SEES is rendered immobile by Nyx's massive gravitational wave, and are cornered by a massive group of Shadows. However, Makoto is unable to defeat Nyx, and the prophesied Fall begins. After a lengthy battle, SEES is able to defeat their enemies with their newly transformed Personas and reach Makoto.

While SEES holds the line against their enemies, Makoto goes on ahead to confront Nyx alone. On the day of Nyx's arrival, SEES fights their way to the top of Tartarus, also encountering Takaya and Jin on the way. Realizing that they may lose their memories of their battles, Makoto and his friends make a promise to gather on the school rooftop on graduation day as a sign that they remember what they have gone through. Makoto follows her and encourages her, giving her the resolve to fight Nyx. Horrified by her friends' choice, Aigis runs away to Gekkoukan High. Respecting his decision, Ryoji tells SEES that Nyx will appear at the top of Tartarus on January 31. On the promised day, Ryoji comes to hear their answer, and Makoto refuses to kill him. At the same time, the other SEES members also regain their respective resolve to keep living not only for themselves but also for their loved ones. As Makoto reminisces about his good times, he realizes that the time he spent with his friends has made him feel truly alive for the first time after the incident ten years ago, and he regains his resolve to live. At their last destination, Elizabeth questions Makoto's experience in the town over the past year. Makoto is approached by Elizabeth, who asks him to give her a tour around the town. On December 22, Yukari's neglect for eating causes her to hallucinate her Persona attacking her, and she is hospitalized. Mitsuru and Akihiko visit a church and find Takaya and Jin spreading the knowledge of Nyx's arrival. Not wanting to see her friends suffer, Aigis begs Makoto to kill Ryoji. On December 20, Aigis regains her consciousness after her battle against Ryoji and apologizes to Makoto for what happened ten years ago. The SEES members discuss Ikutsuki's files on Nyx and the choice that Ryoji has given to them, but the team's fears quickly drive them apart. The revelation drives everyone into depression. Ryoji gives them one month to decide whether to kill him, which will erase their memories and allow them to live the remainder of their lives in blissful ignorance, or spare him and attempt a fruitless battle against Nyx. Before leaving, Ryoji reveals that a being known as Nyx will come and bring the end of the world.

Upon finding out Ryoji's true identity, they attack him, but are easily defeated.

In the present day, Makoto remembers the incident as the rest of SEES members arrive.

Unable to defeat Death, Aigis sealed Death within Makoto, who then lost the memories of the incident. In the aftermath, he watched the battle between Aigis and Ryoji, who back then was a Shadow known as Death. Ten years ago, Makoto survived a car crash that killed his parents.
