Trivia

  • In the Persona 3 lore and setting book, Persona Club P3, it is clarified that Shadows do not actually eat humans. The real cause of Apathy Syndrome is when a human loses the will to live and their Shadow leaves them. Shadows originated from Nyx but now exist as part of human minds, and being without their Shadow makes humans non-functional thus giving the appearance of what is called Apathy Syndrome. Defeating Shadows causes them to return to their respective humans and cures them of Apathy Syndrome.[1]
  • Despite the name, Apathy Syndrome is more akin to akinetic mutism than it is to apathy, mainly that akinetic mutism is the tendency to not move or speak due to diminished motivation while apathy tends to only hinder emotional stimulation and decrease productivity.
