As the year continues, the group adds two more Persona-users to their team: Ken and Koromaru. While vacationing in Yakushima, Junpei, Akihiko, and the Protagonist encounter Aigis, who had recently escaped the laboratory where she was kept, despite having been deactivated for years.[25] For reasons she cannot explain, she has a need to be near the Protagonist, even breaking into his dorm room at night to monitor him.[26] Aigis is also enlisted in SEES.
