my thoughts below the cut (spoilers for the end of p3 and the answer!!)
Delirious overexplaining incoming:
so, uh, my incredibly subtle storytelling has everyone walking forward (and moving on from the loss of the protagonist) together.
1. Aigis looks back. She has a way of being able to perfectly preserve a memory, after all. She tells us that much herself. I like to think that she also inherited the will of the p3mc - the will to reach out to humanity and cherish them forever. When she comes across a new friend, does she see parts of someone familiar?
2. Yukari looks back too. But in classic Yukari fashiom, she is casual and making some kind of dig at Junpei to Mitsuru (who backs her up. Love wins). Loss is something she must struggle to overcome again and again, and is it not beautiful that she has learnt that there are people she can lean on for help?
3. and finally my man Shinjiro is walking next to Aki, instead of like. Right in front of the MC is because I.... kind of wanted to keep this spoiler free? LOL
thank u for reading!!!! pls enjoy the best sketch on planet earth as a reward for getting through that
