Lloyd's purpose thing is pretty simple! HE WANTS TO HELP PEOPLE. Bound up in this is HE WANTS TO SAVE AATHER AND HELP THE PERSONAE STOP SUCKING SO MUCH. He sees a lot of their problems as tied to the fact that they can't change their personal stories; that people can just decide to do things completely differently if they feel like it is a huge part of his personal philosophy. He's willing to acknowledge that there's something stopping the Personae from doing that, now — he just wants to help them find a way punch it in the face. Because he came to that understanding of the Personae before he got back the memories that made using peoples' deaths as fuel completely unacceptable, instead of hating the Personae he's committed to helping them find another way, since he acknowledges that they are locked into their natures and thus can't be just condemned offhand for them the way that normal people can be. 8|

Ultimately he wants to go home! But he won't be satisfied if he does it before Aather is saved.

What're Yuri's thoughts on Aather right now?
