PersonalityEdit
""No mere machine can hold life as you do... And if you don’t, then I question whether humans themselves are alive...""
Yuu conflicts with Souta Aizawa from the start of the game, however this is mainly because of his inability to see Aegis as a human being rather than a machine. As Souta trains Aigis to be more and more robotic, Kimijima grows more angry of him, even to the point of physically accosting Souta. However, her hatred for him is somewhat superficial, as she reveals that her and Souta grew close to eachother after she moved from Yakushima and that Souta would protect her in times of loneliness. Yuu has an opposition to Takashi Tomari because of how close he is to Aigis, perhaps indicating that Yuu wishes to have Aigis to herself so that she can protect her. However, she recognises that she can use Takashi to provoke a response from Aigis, and uses him to create a shadow that she would later use against Aigis for this purpose. However, towards the end of the game it is revealed that Yuu struggles with a conflict between her duty as a researcher and her devotion to Aigis. Takeharu Kirijo 's acceptance of Aigis being an acceptable loss distresses her, and leads her to leave the lab to never return. Later, after Aigis defeats the shadow she created, she reveals that her intention wasn't to cause harm purely for the sake of evil; it was instead to prompt Aigis to awaken to her emotions and to understand. By testing whether Aigis would follow her programming or her heart, Kimijima hoped to show her that she should acknowledge the latter instead of relying on just her programming. In her final moments, Yuu expresses profound remourse to Aigis for all that she has done, and that she will always be hers, even in death.
