Flowers and Butterflies, My thoughts on The Answer's Opening

Spoilers obviously

The Red Spider Lillies on that Opening, it's next to Cherry Blossoms as a Flower manages to capture the themes of Persona 3 perfectly, even if he's gone life goes on.

Makoto walking through them is meant to be him passing on to the afterlife.

Speaking of cherry blossoms we have a shot of A Cherry Blossom Petal at the end as both a callback to the rooftop scene as well as to foreshadow them eventually moving on from the past.

From my Aikoto doc:

The meaning behind these flowers can be found in that cherry blossoms take two weeks to grow and are whisked away by the spring winds as they blossom They are ephemeral plants, meaning that they last for only a short period of time. Therefore, they are the perfect metaphor for mortality. I do not believe this is not the intention of the developers how much the cherry blossoms resonate with Persona 3’s theme.

We have flowers that symbolize both Parting and a New beginning, appropriately enough appearing at the beginning and the end of the opening.

And Episode Aigis is all about that transitional period between those two, The grieving, how everybody needs to move on and not let the pain of his death burden them, that is easier said than done especially for Aigis.

As the one closest to Makoto her humanity was brought upon by her learning about life, making precious bonds especially with him.

The blue butterfly here could symbolize two things Aigis's humanity, how Metis is born from her wishing it away after losing Makoto the one that had brought out the best in her it vanishing along with the scene, making this open a symbolic retelling of the scene where Aigis is running after him in her dreams or her role now as the wild card similar to the butterflies in the save points of P4 and PQ.

Humanity

First let's discuss her humanity since I found it to be the more interesting symbolism.

The butterfly is shown following him before transitioning to her waking up the moment shortly after when she stopped dreaming, and she cried, which i believe to be the catalyst event that resulted in the creation of Metis and the drawing of the Abyss of Time.

This is the dream she had before the beginning of the opening.

And at the end the butterfly meets with Aigis again. Even though it vanished along with Makoto it foreshadows at the end where Aigis's body was unable to handle the wild card yet she still returns her original personality intact ready to face the future with the rest of her friends.

She regretted casting away her humanity just because it hurts, she regrets not being able to attend his funeral and shutting herself from the others when they were mourning him.

After reuniting with Metis, she embraced her Humanity and started to cry, at the end of the OP, the butterfly that followed Makoto returned to Aigis making her human once more.

Wild Card

The Blue butterfly following Makoto could doubly mean something much simpler it's her being passed on the ability of the wild card, The answer has made it clear that Aigis didn't just awaken to the wild card but she has HIS wild card, she has his velvet room, his attendant, his compendium, his fusion spells (a trait unique to Makoto) and all of the personas within it belong to Makoto.

Even though he is gone, He lives on within her, and her Awakening is very special (She awakens to Makoto's Orpheus, this is the only time in Persona where the same Persona is awakened to twice) The butterfly coming back to Aigis is Makoto imparting his will onto her and because he trusts her to protect his friends and loves her so much and because Aigis is the one that felt the strongest towards him that she could have that power, no matter what way you read it, Makoto and Aigis were intimate in the Journey but In The Answer they are eternally connected.
