Innocent Sin
After taking down King Leo at the Aerospace Museum, the group hears that rumors are circulating branding them as a group of terrorists for the Masked Circle; to counter this, they have the rescued children spread counter-rumors calling them heroes, which leads to their Shadow Selves being created, Shadow Maya being the first to appear, appearing in Maya's place when the group gathers at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency. Ms. Ideal tells the group all about the In Lak'ech, and Lisa tells Tatsuya and Eikichi that she knows them from when they were younger, asking the group to go to the Alaya Shrine hoping they'll remember too. At Alaya Shrine, Philemon appears and tells the group that they are starting to remember, and that they must go the reflecting pools at Mt. Iwato, where the group used to play together as children.

At the first reflecting pool, a memory is seen of Tatsuya, Jun, Eikichi, and Lisa first meeting each other at the shrine, with each of them wearing a Phoenix Ranger Featherman mask; Jun suggests they call their secret group the "Masked Circle" so they'll know each other when they meet without masks. The group hid their masks in Mt. Iwato, and each character's mask must be found in order to get their Ultimate Persona. The first one, Lisa's, is located in a "Secret Room" just past the first Reflecting Pool; the mask allows her to get Venus later.

At the second reflecting pool, a memory is seen of the kids playing "Rock, Scissors, Paper" to determine who the "boss" is, where the boss gets to determine what game they play that day. After the memory, Eikichi says he loved to draw but always lost, and Lisa says the only time she could play like a normal kid and be herself, due to constant bullying because of her hair and eye color, was while playing Masked Circle; she also tells Tatsuya that he was her first crush. The next mask, Eikichi's, is located in a "Secret Room" just past the second pool; the mask allows him to get Hades later. The 3rd mask, Tatsuya's, is located in another "Secret Room" just before the stairs down to the next floor; the mask allows him to get Apollo later.

If the correct choices were made earlier in the game, the characters will gain their Prime Personas upon completion of Mt. Iwato.

To get the rumor for Kuchisake-Onna, speak to the man on the town map standing just outside of Mt. Iwato. After defeating her and getting her mask, he will trade a Megido Card for it, and mention that Kuchisake-onna had been mumbling strange things to itself, saying things like "I wonder if this costume's too obvious..." and "Has Tatsuya-kun reached the detective agency yet?"
