I'll have a quick thing with your Shadow Clone appearing Empyrean, but then once you face yourself and all that then you have control on how your Persona is and all that.  It's just GETTING the thing is story related if that answers your question.  We'll be getting into the arena now so feel free to post there where Abigail, Kanji, and Naoto are currently fighting against her six armed Shadow Clone that has already gone berserk.
