Following after the protagonist' death after the defeat of Nyx, the remaining members of S.E.E.S decides to regroup one last time before dorm closes. During their regroup, SEES encounters a weird atmosphere, where the time would stop flowing, resetting each time the clock passes 12.00 p.m. This is where Metis was first seen, where she assaults SEES. Upon seeing Aegis, she claims to be Aegis' sister, and exclaims that she was tasked to protect her. She sees the remaining members of SEES as a hindrance, and thus, to destroy them.

After Aigis turns unconscious due to overusing Orgia Mode to subdue her, Metis participated in upgrading Aigis' body parts, however, she was later chained for further questionings. Metis later leads the members of SEES to the Abyss of Time, a labyrinth below the dorm. In there, Metis explains that the Abyss of Time was created by the members of SEES, but refuses to reveal the cause. Since the creation of the labyrinth was SEES' responsible, Metis believed that once SEES has been annihilated, time would flow once again.

Due to her actions of attacking S.E.E.S earlier, the members initially shows hostility of letting her joining the S.E.E.S, while Metis harbors a great dislike towards them as well, with a notable exception of Aegis. Metis eventually joins S.E.E.S when Aegis threatens to leave her alone, much to her horror and grief. Throughout their journey, Metis appears to be protective of Aegis, and addresses Aegis as her sister. She is also seen to hold a certain understanding towards the nature of the Abyss of Time, and amongst others, the Protagonist and Nyx.

Later, defeating the manifestation of S.E.E.S' negative wills and desire of seeing the protagonist, SEES realizes that they have the ability to travel back to the time where the Protagonist seals Nyx. However, each members have their own opinions, Yukari wanted to return to the past of stop the Protagonist' actions, but was opposed by Junpei, who explains that by changing the past would essentially undo the sealing of Nyx.

As their opinions differ, SEES was separated, leaving only Metis standing on Aegis' side. Aegis would eventually team up with Metis to reclaim the keys to unlock the past given to SEES members. Upon recollecting them and forging into the 'true key', Aegis decides to return to the past where the Protagonist performs the miracle of sealing Nyx, so she could understand the reason of the Protagonist' death. During this time, Metis expresses her confusion of the Protagonist' actions, as Nyx herself was neither hostile nor malevolent, and a seal wasn't necessary. She would also mention SEES' promise of meeting each other in Graduation Day, much to the suspicion and confusion of SEES. When SEES tries to question her true identity, Metis explains that she "just knows it", and explains that the Protagonist wasn't exactly planning to seal Nyx, but Erebus, a grand manifestation of humanity's grief from contacting her to bring forth the Fall.

Metis' true identity is finally revealed late in-game, where SEES was transferred into the Velvet Room. In there, the members of SEES appears in front Igor, however, Metis, seemingly familiar with the Velvet Room, appears alongside Igor. Metis explains that she comes from "the other side", which is actually the manifestation of the emotional side of Aegis, separated from Aegis after Aegis wished to return back to being fully machine to escape the emotional burden of losing the Protagonist. Due to this, Metis often feels helpless when Aegis threatens to leave her during their fight with the other party members, as such an action would leave her all alone, like when Metis was first formed. Finally knowing Metis' true nature, the sisters reconcile, with Metis returns into Aegis, fully completing Aegis' Journey. Metis' voice is last heard when Aegis unlocks the door of the dorm, where she encourages Aegis to make the most out of her live, so the Protagonist burden would be lightened.
