Persona 3 S.link
Summary:
Kenji is one of the first classmates to hang out with you. After gaining his
trust, you learn that he has a crush on one of his teachers at Gekkoukan.
Eventually he decides to ask her out, and is successful (in his mind).
However, Kenji's love is eventually crushed when both of you find out that the
love between the teacher and student was simply a misunderstanding. Kenji is
crushed, but is grateful for your friendship.
Author's Notes:
The [Magician Social Link] is the first Social Link you gain in the game. You
receive the first level automatically; however, you do not have to continue
past the first level if you don't want to.

Summary:
Hidetoshi is not well-liked among the Student Council. He's not afraid to name
anyone a suspect in the recent smoking crime. As you hang out with him more,
you notice that you're the only one he confides to. Eventually, one of the
teacher suspects you of smoking. Hidetoshi defends you and decides to change
his personality to be more friendly to others.
Author's Notes:
Mitsuru automatically asks you to join the Student Council. You do not have to
if you don't want to. If you do, go to the Faculty Office and agree to join.
After that, you are free to go to the Student Council meetings.

they're recruiting supporters...
[Choices:]

- "It's a waste of time."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Hidetoshi: Uniforms serve a purpose. You have to know how to play by the

Hidetoshi: Someone who complains about wearing a uniform won't last long in
the real world!
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>

Hidetoshi: ...Some people will lie and backstab without hesitation if it's to

Hidetoshi: We shouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior; we should do something
about it.
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["Good work."]
Hidetoshi: If we let people get away with breaking the rules, things will only
get worse.
Hidetoshi: One day, it'll spiral out of control, and there will be nothing we
can do.

Hidetoshi: I think once I catch the culprit, I'll give him a good lecturing.
Hidetoshi: After all, the point is to try and prevent it from happening again.
Hidetoshi: It'd be great if I could get people like him to change their ways.
Hidetoshi: I don't sympathize with students who break the rules, but...
Hidetoshi: Will kicking the "bad" kids out really make school a better place?
Hidetoshi: I don't know why I'm complaining. It's really not like me. I guess
I'm just confused because I feel so powerless.
Hidetoshi: I'll have more power if I do what the teacher wants and win his
trust. Then, people will have to listen to me.
Hidetoshi: Watch me, Minato-kun! I'll work my way to the top.

something you force them to feel.
Hidetoshi: When the P.E. teacher suggested that you should be a suspect,

power than me.

Bunkichi and Mitsuko are an old couple that owns the Bookworms Used Books
store. They are devasted to learn that their deceased son's tree in Gekkoukan
is being torn down. Later they learn that there is a petition to stop the
school from tearing down the tree. However, they decide to write to the school
to tell them to take it down because it would benefit the students.
Author's Notes:
They are located at the Iwatodai strip mall. You have to do a small quest for
them before you establish the Social Link.

Summary:
You are the only one who knows about Kazushi's injured knee. As practices go
by, his injury gets worse. You learn that he wants to win the nationals for
his nephew no matter what the damages are. The team eventually learns of his
injury and force him to rest and heal. Kazushi realizes what a burden he would
be if he permanently damaged his knee. He decides to stop pushing himself so
hard.
Author's Notes:
The Chariot Social Link takes place when you either join the Swimming, Track,
or Kendo team. The Social Link remains the same regardless of which club you
join. The only difference is slight setting changes depending on the club.
This Social Link will take place in Track Team.

Summary:
Yuko doesn't really care too much about her future when you first meet her.
On one of your dates you meet several kids that have been thrown out of the
playground by older students. The only way they can get it back is winning a
race against them. Yuko decides to coach them. The kids tie with the older
ones and are allowed to go back to the playground. The coaching makes Yuko
realize that she wants to be an athletic trainer in the future.

Summary:
Maya is the first (and only) player you meet in the MMO you're playing. Upon
chatting with her for a while, you find out she is a teacher at your school.
She reveals all the stresses of her single life to you. The online game is
eventually shut down, but Maya leaves you a loving message before you two
part ways.
Author's Notes:
You must have first received the "Innocent Sin" MMO game from Junpei first
before you are able to establish this Social Link.

Summary:
Keisuke is the son of a doctor. His life was laid out step by step by his
father since his childhood. Though his father wants him to take over the
family hospital, Keisuke doesn't want to keep being ordered around. Keisuke
eventually decides to be a doctor, but it is out of his own desire, not his
father's.
Author's Notes:
Similar to the [Chariot Social Link]. This S-Link takes place in either the
Music, Art, or Science club. The skits located here will take place in the
Art Club.

unexpectedly died a few years ago. Nozomi feels that he needs to replace his
brother and joined a cult. After unsuccessfully trying to "scam" other people

Nozomi Suemitsu: All that arguing made me hungry. My stomach is definitely not

Nozomi Suemitsu: You want to tag along? Do you know who I am?
Nozomi Suemitsu: I cam called... the Gourmet King!
Nozomi Suemitsu: That's right, it's my little nickname. I'm Gourmet King
2009... Or, was it 2010? Eh, whatever.
Nozomi Suemitsu: I know all the best places for-- uh... wha?

Nozomi: You ahve a pretty good appetite. You even kept up with me... *burp*
Nozomi: You must be one of those people with an extreme metabolism.
Nozomi: Sometimes I run into people who think they can take my title of
Gourmet King. ...They're jealous.
Nozomi: Remember that middle-aged man who I scared off that one time? I'm
pretty sure he was an assassin, of sorts...
Nozomi: They think they understand how I got this far, but they're wrong. The
sooner they accept that, the better for them.
Nozomi: Because of your courageous appetite, I will declare you as a supporter
of the Gourmet King.
Nozomi: This is something history places upon you, so you aren't allowed to
refuse.
Nozomi: Your name's Minato, right? I think you're a year younger than me.
Nozomi: ...It kind of feels like I have a younger brother now.

[Choices:]

we could never be related! Heh...

Nozomi: ...Isn't it always this way? I get my mind working, and it just makes
me hungrier.
Nozomi: I just finished that beef bowl, but I'm already aching for more...
Nozomi: ...Think I should keep eating? It'd be staying true to myself, and
that's good, right?
Nozomi: Maybe I'll get even more hungry if I walk backward. That works
sometimes, right?
Nozomi: You're coming too, right Minato? You have to, you're one of my
supporters.
Nozomi: By the way, I made up this backwards walking thing, so don't steal it.

Nozomi: These are Dan Dan Dan Noodles. That's three dan's, always. Once you go
dan, you don't go back again.
Nozomi: This is the crown jewel of Hagakure's secret hidden menu.
Nozomi: I've always considered this lightly flavored spicy miso soup a
microcosm of the miracle of creation...
Nozomi: You gotta know the secret menu, right? I don't know how they expect
people to find out about it, though...
Nozomi: ...Oh well, no point in thinking about it. What's important is that
all the best stuff is hidden from normal people.
Nozomi: ...Don't forget to keep that other bowl you took, waiter. I want to
take that soup home with me.
Nozomi: You and I are the only two people who know his sublime taste
sensation.
Nozomi: ...Don't forget to blow on the noodles to cool them off.
Nozomi: This has been a privilege, cause you got to learn a lot about me.
Nozomi: This wouldn't be possible if we were brothers, because the Gourmet
King's brother cannot be the Gourmet King.

Nozomi: I gotta have my rice!
Nozomi: Hmm... Think that's t-too many carbs? *urp* It pays to watch what you
eat.
Nozomi: Today, a girl in my class asked about "that handsome guy you were
eating with."
Nozomi: ...I guess she wanted me to introduce you two so you could eat lunch
with her. ...and without me...
Nozomi: I guess you are like my little brother. ...The type of guy who gets
all the girls, am I right?
Nozomi: Well once we're dead, we're all just bones. You can tell a handsome

Nozomi: Ugh! Whenever I worry about that stuff, it gets my appetite going.
Nozomi: Hey waiter, how about one more tonkatsu special!

go away right now!
Nozomi: ...but even then, you still won't--
Nozomi: H-Hey Minato! I'll try my best to make it to Paradise. Then I'll have

["I disagree."]
Akinari: So, are you afraid that my hopelessness might be contagious if you
stick around much longer?

Akinari: Stories about hope or heroism...
Akinari: Those're the kinds of books I read.
Akinari: So hopefully, if I do decide to finish reading them, I'll feel happy

Akinari: ...Remember how I talked about reading upbeat stories?
Akinari: There are plenty of stories, but I don't think reading them will ever
be able to make me feel better...
Akinari: The problem is, all those stories were written for someone else.
Akinari: I guess what I'm saying is selfish...
Akinari: ...I'm being selfish about you, too.
Akinari: You're always coming to see me, and I take up a lot of your time.
Akinari: How much of your valuable time have you used on visiting me?
Akinari: ...I don't deserve it. You're spoiling me, I'm afraid.
Akinari: That's why I like you, though.

Akinari: See, it's the main character of a story that I'm writing...
Akinari: He was born in the calm forest of green, but he turned out to be
pink.
Akinari: He's so visible that he can't hunt for food easily, so he's always
especially hungry.
Akinari: The other animals dislike him and consider his coloration disgusting.
...Almost like he's cursed.
Akinari: So, he started living alone. ...But then he made a friend.
Akinari: His friend was a bird--but, a bird that was unable to fly.
Akinari: So the bird would stand on the pink alligator's back and practice its
flying.
Akinari: ...It's embarrassing to talk about.
Akinari: But, anyway... How does the story sound to you?
[Choices:]
- "It sounds interesting."
- "Not too great..."
- "I'd need to hear more."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Akinari: ...Really?
Akinari: I've never tried writing a story before, and I'm kind of afraid it's
going to suck.
Akinari: But, I'm writing it for myself, so that's what matters.
Akinari: Maybe I'll be able to show you the entire novel someday.
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Akinari: I see...
Akinari: ...Well this is my first time writing a story like this, so it's not
going to be perfect.
Akinari: But, I'm writing it for myself, so that's what matters.
Akinari: Hopefully you can learn something from the story once it's
finished...

<>>========================================================================<<>
Akinari: I'm still writing more of my story... How much did I tell you about?
Akinari: Oh right... The pink alligator and the bird had become friends,
right?
Akinari: This was the alligator's first friend, and he was very happy.
Akinari: ...They started going to the river every day, and the little bird
would sing while the alligator listened.
Akinari: But again, the alligator couldn't catch food easily because of his
color...
Akinari: Pink is such an odd color, his prey in the jungle saw him from far
away and had plenty of time to escape.
Akinari: He became so hungry that he was dizzy most of the time...
Akinari: ...And he accidentally ate the bird one afternoon as it slept in his
mouth.
Akinari: ...Of course, he realized his mistake immediately.
Akinari: He drank swamp water to induce vomiting... but the bird was already
dead when he retrieved it.
Akinari: ...After that, he couldn't bring himself to eat anything.
Akinari: ...That's as far as I've written. I haven't decided on an ending.
[Choices:]
- "That's a good story."
- "It sounds really depressing."
- "I've heard that one before."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Akinari: You really think so? ...Maybe you'll enjoy the final product.
Akinari: I always thought the only thing I could give other people was
hopelessness, but maybe...
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Akinari: Is it really that dark? I dunno... For me, it's hard to tell.
Akinari: The words I use come out from my life, you know? So, they may seem
depressing to you...
Akinari: ...but to me, that's just life.
<>>-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
Akinari: I see... So, I guess my life isn't so unusual after all, then.
Akinari: I thought nobody understood me, but you're saying this story of mine
has been done before...
Akinari: ...Interesting.

Akinari: ...My medicine makes me drowsy, and if my hands go numb, then I can't
write anything...
Akinari: I have to finish my story.
Akinari: The reason my story's unfinished... ...is because I haven't found the
meaning of life yet.
Akinari: I get lost in my writing... erase it... and then don't know where to
go next.
Akinari: ...When we're talking, I have a clearer picture. I can almost see
it...
Akinari: It seems like that might be the meaning of life for me...
Akinari: I'm probably writing this book to find the meaning of life...
Akinari: ...Well, if I do find it and finish the story...
Akinari: ...I hop we get a little more time together after that.

Akinari: From the hospital. ...They were going to put me under care, but now I
don't have to do it.
Akinari: ...I guess my body is too weak to undergo surgery. So, I refused any
medication as well...
Akinari: Which means I'm done with the hospital.

Akinari: As you know, I was having a lot of trouble with the ending... but I
finally figured it out.
Akinari: Since the alligator ate his friend the bird, he cried and cried for
a very long time.
Akinari: In fact, he was so sad... that he drowned in his own tears.
Akinari: His tears became a beautiful lake, around which grew beautiful
flowers and a tree with delicious fruit.
Akinari: The other animals in the forest came there often to relax...
Akinari: ...but, none of them knew the alligator had created it or that he was
gone.
Akinari: The end...
Akinari: That's the ending I decided on.
Akinari: ...Even though the alligator did not find meaning in his life, the
residents of the forest did.
Akinari: They just didn't realize it...
Akinari: Because... the meaning of my life is not something I should worry
about.
Akinari: It's really what others think of my life or what I was able to do for
them.
Akinari: So... for me, or you, or anyone... the meaning of our lives is
something that we make but don't see.
Akinari: People can't survive without help from others. ...We all depend on
one another.
