More than an age before the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden, Arl Jacen Guerrin ordered its construction to serve as comfortable living quarters for his "close friend," famed singer and swordsman Ser Corram the Bard. Arlessa Marguerite, Jacen's wife, evidently understood and supported her husband's relationship with Corram—only stipulating that the bard not live at the castle to avoid any public scandal.

That must be why I come here after school... sometimes I find a couple alone here. They might be leaning against one another, or embracing... I never gave it a second thought before, but lately... It pains me to see them... I have probably come to realize that this is a sort of connection I can never attain... I am not a male... I'm not even human...! The closer my heart become to that of a human, the more I realize how much sets us apart...! Just because my heart is developing doesn't mean I can actually become human... I have known this from the beginning, of course. But... only recently have I realized something. I have another wish, one just as precious as my desire to live... My realization is that this second wish can never be granted..." / Narrator: Aigis seems very distressed... / Aigis: "...I'm sorry. I lost control of myself again... But this feeling that you are precious to me will never change... No matter what happens..." / Narrator: Aigis is gazing at you intensely... / Aigis: "No... that's not right. Until now, I have always referred to you as something precious to me. But that is not the correct way to express this feeling. However... If I were to use the proper words... I know it would never come true, and I...!" / Narrator: Aigis ran off... You decide to go back to the dorm.Atlus (November 1, 2009). Persona 3 Portable (PlayStation Portable).

Aigis: “[Protagonist]-san... I, um.. actually have one more favor to ask... At the base of my neck, behind the knot of the ribbon... My most important component is located there. The source of the artificial psyche that makes me who I am... My emotional engine... the "Papillon Heart". It's extremely delicate, so I am forbidden to expose it outside of the laboratory's clean room... I... want you to touch it. If exposed to your skin oils and cells, your genetic information  will most likely be burnt into it. Even so... I want you to do this. I want to leave indelible proof in this body of the understanding that you and I have reached... Not as a memory that can be erased, but as something permanent... Something irrevocable.” / Narrator: Aigis is gazing at you intently...

[If the player chooses “Nod silently”]

Aigis: “Thank you very much. I'm overflowing with joy... Please... come closer. Oh, umm...Since you'll be coming into direct contact with my heart, I... I apologize in advance if I say something odd, or make unusual noises... As a precaution, I will cut off motor functions to my arms and legs.” / Narrator: Aigis seems embarrassed... / Aigis: “Well then, umm...

|The player has the option to romance various male characters if they're playing as the female protagonist by increasing their Social Link's level high enough. They can also romance Aigis this way, though as is also the case in the male protagonist's route, they aren't given an option to decline.

|During his level 4 Social Link, Ryoji states he would still like the protagonist, “no matter if [they] were a guy or a girl”, though only the female protagonist is able to level up his Social Link and romance him due to the Fortune Arcana instead being tied to Keisuke Hiraga in the male protagonist's route.Atlus (November 1, 2009).

Scene: January 31st [if the protagonist is female, the level 9 Fortune Social Link is unlocked, and the player refuses to kill Ryoji]. Narrator: Ryoji slipped off a ring that was on his finger. / Ryoji: “Could you... hold onto this? It's proof that I was "human", for however short a time... If you held onto it for me, I......I think I'll be able to stand it.” / Narrator: You received Faint Glow Ring from Ryoji. You feel a strong, solid bond with Ryoji... You have forged a bond that cannot be broken! / Ryoji: “I love you... We should go back. The others will be worried, I'm sure...” In Persona 3 Reload, Ryoji was given Linked Episodes where, on the fourth, he admits he wants to be “something more” than a friend to the protagonist (now exclusively male), though he's interrupted before he could elaborate.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-06 |title=Persona 3 Reload Gives Me Hope Persona 6 Can Do Right By Queer Fans |url=https://kotaku.com/persona-3-reload-gay-social-link-takaya-ryoji-akihiko-1851227577 |access-date=2024-09-25 |website=Kotaku |language=en}}
