Rise Kujikawa Social Link.

-----[Lovers Level 1 Skit][LSL01]---------------------------------------


[Junes food court.]

Chie: I'm kinda bummed...
Chie: Not just because exams are over, but... The whole thing with the police
finding a suspect.
Chie: I mean, we believed that only we could solve this case. And now...

Yosuke: Well, we still don't know yet. They haven't made an arrest.

Kanji: So... we gotta sit on our thumbs.

Adachi: For crying out loud... It's nice to have a suspect, but where the hell
is he?
Adachi: We're at the end of our rope here...
Adachi: Y-You guys!? D-Did you hear what I said?
Adachi: Ah... Ahahaha! This case is as good as solved!
Adachi: Don't worry, kids. It's only a matter of time before we bring in the
suspect.
Adachi: I mean, the guy's kidnapping people at random and slaughtering them!
We won't rest until we bring him to justice!
Adachi: I-I gotta get going!

Yosuke: Now I'm REALLY worried...
Yosuke: On the other hand... If the police have a search warrant out for the
guy, we should stay out of it.

Kanji: Yeah...

Rise: Oh, uh, I just remembered. There was a question on the exam that I
didn't get.
Rise: I think it was, "The chemical formula HCHO, used for silver mirror
reactions. Its 40% solution is known as formalin."
Rise: And the question was, "What is HCHO?"

["Formaldehyde."]

Rise: Oh, I see. I chose acetic acid... Duh, of course it couldn't have been
vinegar.
Rise: Hey, you had that question too, didn't you Kanji?

Kanji: Shut up. And don't call me by my first name.

Rise: Wow, kinda harsh, aren't you? I heard you got a nosebleed when you were
around our senpai.

Kanji: H-Hey! Who the hell blabbed about that!?

Chie: A-Anyways!
Chie: Rise-chan, why don't you ask Yukiko to help you study?

Rise: Huh? I guess, but wouldn't you rather ask a senpai of the opposite sex?
Rise: Senpai... I'm not a nuisance to you, am I?

Chie: Damn...
Chie: This girl's dangerous...!
Chie: L-Let's change the subject.
Chie: Hey, any idea how Teddie's doing?

Yosuke: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it to you.
Yosuke: Check this out.

> It's Teddie...

Yosuke: I let him stay at my place. In return, he's now our official store
mascot.

Kanji: Aaah! So he's hiding in plain sight. Reverse psychology, huh?
Kanji: Man... He looks like one happy bear...

Yosuke: He kept saying he didn't wanna go back, so I made him a deal.
Yosuke: Now, since I've got nothing better to do... I'm gonna go bug him.

Chie: Oooh, I wanna go too!

Kanji: C-Can I... feel his soft fur...?

[Everyone leaves except Rise.]

Rise: Hey, Senpai?
Rise: Now that I'm getting the hang of school, I want to go out more and see
the sights.
Rise: But I tend to get recognized everywhere I go, so I'm a little nervous
about going out on my own...
Rise: And you seem like the type of guy who knows all the cool spots in town.
Rise: ......

["Sure, I'll show you around."]

Rise: Really? Woohoo!

> You sense Rise's natural, easy friendliness...
> You feel a faint bond forming between you and Rise...

Thou art I... And I am thou...
Thou hast established a new bond...

It brings thee closer to the truth...

Thou shalt be blessed when creating
Personas of the Lovers Arcana...

> You have established the Rise Kujikawa Social Link of the Lovers Arcana!
> You may earn an EXP bonus when fusing Personas of the Lovers Arcana!
> Rise's determination in battle has been enhanced...
> She will now cheer you on during all-out attacks!

Rise: If you ever have some time to kill, think of me, okay?
Rise: Now c'mon, let's go pester Teddie.
Rise: Teddieeee! Heeeey!


-----[Lovers Level 2 Skit][LSL02]---------------------------------------


> Souzai Daigaku...
> You came at Rise's earnest request...

Rise: I can't take another bite. My stomach's full...
Rise: But that really hit the spot! I've been wanting to come here.
Rise: But it's a little embarrassing to show up alone, you know?

[Choices:]
- "Why?"
- "You don't eat out?"
- "Just order takeout."

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["Why?"]

Rise: What do you mean why...? A girl shouldn't be eating meat by herself on
the side of the road.
Rise: Besides, everyone would think I'm letting myself go, after taking a
hiatus.
Rise: It's kind of annoying...
Rise: ...Though it's also kind of true.

> Rise looks like she's having fun...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["You don't eat out?"]

Rise: Nope!
Rise: If someone snapped a photo of me doing that, I'd hear it from my agency.
Rise: The last time I ate out was at a festival when I was still a little kid.
Rise: Back then, it was me and my family... It was fun.

> Rise is smiling nostalgically...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["Just order takeout."]

Rise: How little you know, Senpai!
Rise: It's the atmosphere that's important. The meal itself isn't everything,
you know.

> Rise's voice is swelling with pride for some reason.

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: To tell you the truth, I've wanted to do this since I was a child.
Rise: My parents were actually pretty strict.
Rise: I didn't really have many friends.
Rise: Though I guess that couldn't be helped, since I hardly ever showed up
for school.
Rise: ......
Rise: Er, that's enough talk about that! What a depressing subject, huh?
Rise: Let's talk about something fun. After all, I don't want to waste the
time we have together!
Rise: It's so great that I came to this town and met you.
Rise: Really, I'm serious!

> Rise smiles naturally...
> You feel your relationship with Rise has grown deeper...

> The Rise Kujiwaka Social Link has reached level 2!
> Your powers to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana has grown!
> Rise's growth of heart has affected her Persona as well...

Rise: Why don't I start by asking what kind of girl you like?

> You dealt with Rise's barrage of questions until it became dark, then went
home.


-----[Lovers Level 3 Skit][LSL03]---------------------------------------


> Okina City, at Okina Station...
> Rise took you here.

Rise: Whew, that was a long trip...
Rise: It'll take time to get back, so let's walk around quick!

[Choices:]
- "You come here often?"
- "Can't you shop in Inaba...?"
- "What are you looking for?"

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["You come here often?"]

Rise: Yeah. You know there's not much of a selection where we live, right?
Rise: Since I've got a mule with me today, I think it's time for a shopping
spree!

> Rise looks like she's having fun...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["Can't you shop in Inaba...?"]

Rise: No way!
Rise: All they have is Junes! "Every day's great," but it's not THAT great!
Rise: Though the sweats they have over there aren't bad...

> Rise is smiling sheepishly...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["What are you looking for?"]

Rise: A one-piece, of course!
Rise: Make sure you take notice when I wear it, okay?

> Rise is smiling mischievously...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: Oh, come to think of it, where does Kanji buy his clothes?
Rise: You can't find pointy stuff like those at Junes, can you?
Rise: Does he buy them online...?
Rise: ......
Rise: Maybe he makes them...?

Suspicious Guy: U-Umm...
Suspicious Guy: A-Aren't you Risette?
Suspicious Guy: I, I-I-I-I...

Rise: No... I'm not.
Rise: Let's go, Senpai.

> Rise dragged you away...

> Many people approached Rise over the course of the day...

Rise: They just never learn!
Rise: *sigh* But I told them!
Rise: I told them today, Senpai!
Rise: "No, I'm not." "You're mistaken." "I'm not Risette!"
Rise: And it's true... I'm no longer "Risette"...
Rise: I'm just an ordinary girl...
Rise: *giggle* Which is fine with me!
Rise: I never thought I'd be out in public like this.
Rise: I love Inaba, Senpai...
Rise: You see the same faces every day, rumors spread fast, and there are
times when it gets on my last nerve...
Rise: And sometimes I feel I might be better off if I was in a big city full
of strangers...
Rise: But even then, I love that town.
Rise: You're there, Grandma's there...
Rise: And above all, there's something I can do there.
Rise: Let's keep at it, Senpai!

> You can sense Rise's passion...
> You feel that you understand Rise even better...

> The Rise Kujiwaka Social Link has reached level 3!
> Your powers to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana has grown!
> Rise's growth of heart has affected her Persona as well...

Rise: I didn't see any one-pieces that clicked with me, so I guess we should
go home.
Rise: Let's go, Senpai.

> You walked Rise to her house and went home.


-----[Lovers Level 4 Skit][LSL04]---------------------------------------


> Central shopping district...
> You decided to walk Rise home after eating at Aiya...

Rise: The flavor was a little strong, but it was good.
Rise: My grandma's food is kind of bland. Though tofu is good for you, so...

> There is a suspicious man in front of Rise's house...

Rise: Is that a reporter...?
Rise: Or... a stalker?

> Rise is worried...

[Choices:]
- Yell
- Call the police

Rise: Y-Yeah, go ahead...

> Rise looks relieved...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

[Grab her hand and run]

Rise: Uh, th-that's alright. We don't know if he's really dangerous or not.
Rise: Let's just wait and see, okay?
Rise: But... thanks for that.

> Rise no longer seems worried.

Rise: Hmm, but still... That guy... Where have I...?
Rise: Inoue-san, is that you!?

Inoue: Rise-chan!

Rise: Wh-Why are you here...?
Rise: I already settled everything with the agency...!

Inoue: I'm here because... Personally, I can't accept that.
Inoue: I've watched over you this entire time as your manager...

Rise: I'm no longer a "personality"!
Rise: My private time doesn't belong to a manager anymore!
Rise: Go home. If you don't, I'll call the police.

Inoue: W-Wait!
Inoue: Could you just think it over? I strongly believe that no other actress
can play that role better than Rise Kujikawa.
Inoue: Your fans were looking forward to the movie, too...

Rise: You still want me to act...!?

Inoue: Huh...?

Rise: ...Anyway, I'm through with it! I have nothing to do with showbiz and
all that stuff now!
Rise: I...
Rise: I-I've decided to marry this man once we graduate high school!
Rise: I said before it was only a hiatus, but I've changed my mind! There's no
way I'm coming back!
Rise: Yu sees the real me...
Rise: He's so gentle...!

> Rise is desperate...

[Choices:]
- Go along with her

> You denied Rise's story.

Rise: ...H-He's just too shy to admit it!
Rise: A-And why wouldn't he be? I-It's a big deal to marry Risette!

> Rise is trying to fix her story as her face reddens...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Inoue: ......
Inoue: I understand. I'll go home... for today.
Inoue: B-But I...

Rise: Go away! Now!

[Inoue leaves.]

Rise: Oh... U-Ummm...
Rise: ...That was Inoue-san. He was... my manager.
Rise: I'm his daughter's age, so he treated me like one of the family...
Rise: But... he's a stranger now.
Rise: ......
Rise: S-Senpai, umm...
Rise: I'm sorry... Lying about marrying you and all...

[Choices:]
- "I don't mind."
- "Lying is wrong."
- "It... It was a lie?"

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["I don't mind."]

Rise: Senpai...
Rise: You're so mature...

> Rise smiled a smile of relief.

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["Lying is wrong."]

Rise: That's... true, but... It was just a little white lie...
Rise: Senpai, do you really want me to get dragged back into showbiz...?
Rise: Could you solve the murders if I wasn't here? I mean, without me...
Rise: ......
Rise: ...N-Never mind.

> Rise looks gloomy...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["It... It was a lie?"]

Rise: Huh...?
Rise: "Was it a lie?" O-Oh... Senpai...
Rise: W-Wow...

> Somewhat at a loss, Rise is smiling sheepishly...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: You really are a nice guy.
Rise: Th-This isn't good... I feel like I'm going to depend on you even
more...
Rise: ...J-Just kidding!

> You feel your relationship with Rise has grown deeper...

> The Rise Kujiwaka Social Link has reached level 4!
> Your powers to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana has grown!
> Rise's growth of heart has affected her Persona as well...

Rise: I wish I could spend more time with you, but... I'll save it for next
time.
Rise: See you later, Senpai.

> You watched Rise walk in and went home.


-----[Lovers Level 5 Skit][LSL05]---------------------------------------


> The hill overlooking town...
> You came here at Rise's request, as she says she likes it here...

Rise: When I first got to town, I used to sit here and do nothing...
Rise: I would just listen to the sound of the river, the sound of the birds,
the sound of the rain...
Rise: I felt I could forget "Risette" and find myself that way...
Rise: But...
Rise: Senpai, have you ever thought that you're pushing yourself too far, or
that you were just acting...?

[Choices:]
- "All the time."
- "Sometimes..."
- "Not really."

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["All the time."]

Rise: Really...? Then you might even be a better actor than me.
Rise: But I see... You've been through a lot, too...

> It seems Rise is a bit relieved.

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["Sometimes..."]

Rise: I see... But I guess that makes sense...
Rise: No one can be their "normal self" all the time, huh?

> Rise is smiling sadly.

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["Not really."]

Rise: Hmmm, so this is your normal self right now?
Rise: Are you sure?
Rise: *giggle* I'm just kidding you. But that's incredible.

> It seems Rise is impressed...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: I feel like I've been able to relax after coming to Inaba.
Rise: Meeting all of you, laughing together... Watching the store, reading
comics, playing with the cat...
Rise: ...When I was at my parents' house, I was on my best behavior around
them...
Rise: Oh, but Grandma doesn't ask me anything. Y'know, like why I quit or what
I'm thinking of doing next...
Rise: She just talks about tofu. She says... I'm like tofu.
Rise: I had to ask her what that meant.
Rise: The way she explained it... Tofu looks weak and fragile, but it's
actually pretty resilient.
Rise: Even though it stands out because it's not like any other food, it can
be mixed in with any recipe or flavor...
Rise: Tofu is incredible.
Rise: I'm nothing like that...
Rise: ......
Rise: I...
Rise: I was actually bullied at school before I made my debut...
Rise: I wasn't good at talking, and always looked at my feet...
Rise: I was alone the entire time...
Rise: But I didn't have a problem with that. No one expected anything of me.
Rise: And then... the application my relative sent without telling me passed
the first audition.
Rise: I wasn't interested in being an idol, but... I wanted the chance to
change myself.
Rise: And just by chance, I won.
Rise: Haha... When it happened, I panicked, thinking maybe I should turn their
offer down.
Rise: Then I thought... if I appeared on TV, I could make friends...
Rise: That was literally the only reason I went through with it...
Rise: After a while... I realized something.
Rise: The person everyone likes, the one they say "hi" to on the street?
That's not the real me.
Rise: Risette is the one everyone likes... The fictional character they sold
the public.
Rise: ...It's the same with you, isn't it?
Rise: You don't have to deny it... I won't be mad.
Rise: You're with me right now because I'm Risette, yeah?

[Choices:]
- "That's right."
- "No."
- "I don't know..."

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["That's right."]

Rise: Yeah...
Rise: I guess I could say... I'm glad to be Risette, huh?

> Rise smiles wryly...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["No."]

Rise: ......
Rise: I'm sorry. That wasn't a fair question.
Rise: ...But I'm happy you said so.

> Rise smiles weakly...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["I don't know..."]

Rise: W-Wow, I'm kinda surprised...
Rise: You project the image of strength, so I didn't expect you to say that...
Rise: But I see... You're just a year older than me, huh?
Rise: I never thought of that...

> Rise is smiling sheepishly.

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: When I got back to school after my debut, no one bullied me...
Rise: I was happy at first, with people I didn't even know talking to me...
Rise: But they weren't suddenly interested in Rise Kujikawa...
Rise: They wanted to hang out with Risette.
Rise: The bullying stopped, but... I felt like none of them saw the real me.
Rise: In my heart, I've always thought... "This isn't the real me..."
Rise: Funny, huh? I was the one who wanted to change, and...
Rise: But none of that matters now! I'm done being Risette!
Rise: Now I have people who know the real me.
Rise: Plus, I have power that can help everyone... I love that!
Rise: This time, I'm going to change into a Rise that everyone can like!
Rise: Keep an eye out for her, Senpai!

> Rise is smiling...
> You feel that you understand Rise even more...

> The Rise Kujiwaka Social Link has reached level 5!
> Your powers to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana has grown!
> Rise's growth of heart has affected her Persona as well...

> You walked Rise to her house and went home.


-----[Lovers Level 6 Skit][LSL06]---------------------------------------


> Central shopping district...
> You walked Rise home after a trip to Okina City...

Rise: *giggle* I placed lots of special orders.
Rise: Come with me next time when I go pick 'em up, Senpai.
Rise: I had tons of fun today. Not many people tried to come up and talk...
Rise: ...Maybe they already forgot who I am.
Rise: Oh, yeah. Want some tofu to take home?
Rise: I helped make them today.
Rise: Wait right here.

Man's voice: Excuse me... Yu-san, is it?

Inoue: Ummm... Sorry about the other day...
Inoue: I'm Minoru Inoue, Rise Kujikawa's former manager.
Inoue: I'm sorry to bother you, but... Could you give this to her?

> Inoue handed you a letter...

Inoue: A fan letter came, you see...

[Choices:]
- "Give it to her yourself."
- "Does she even read them?"
- "Why so interested in her?"

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["Give it to her yourself."]

Inoue: I don't think she'd take it from me...
Inoue: And Rise always did look forward to this girl's letters...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["Does she even read them?"]

Inoue: ...You may be right.
Inoue: But Rise always did look forward to this girl's letters...

["Why so interested in her?"]

Inoue: I'm one of her fans myself. Her talent is captivating...
Inoue: Rise always did look forward to this girl's letters, so I...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Inoue: In today's cult of personality, being popular carries its own problems.
Inoue: Your schedule fits together, minute by minute, like a jigsaw puzzle...
Every day you're squeezed utterly dry...
Inoue: But even knowing that, I still want her to come back...
Inoue: She was genuinely brilliant... Not only that, but she's strong enough
to use her pain as a foundation.
Inoue: From what I could see... she's relying on you.
Inoue: So could you...?

Rise: Sorry, Senpai, but we're all sold out...
Rise: Inoue-san!? Quit pestering me!
Rise: Wait... What did you say to Senpai!?

Inoue: I-I'm sorry. I'm leaving now... Goodbye...

Rise: Hounding me even after I quit... He's practically a stalker!
Rise: To think I trusted him... I feel betrayed!

[Choices:]
- "That's not nice."
- "He's worried about you."
- "You're really quitting?"

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["That's not nice."]

Rise: Wha--Why are you siding with him!? Y-You're not with me on this...?

> It seems Rise was shocked to hear that...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["He's worried about you."]

Rise: No... He just wants Risette back.
Rise: The "me" he created...

> Rise is biting her lip...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["You're really quitting?"]

Rise: Senpai... Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?
Rise: Inoue did say something to you, didn't he!?

> Rise is furious...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: So... what did he come for?

> You told Rise why Inoue came and handed her the fan letter.

Rise: This letter...
Rise: She wrote again...
Rise: I see... But he came all the way out here for this...?
Rise: ......
Rise: This girl is a middle school student. She writes to me all the time.
Rise: I did this public service campaign once to stamp out bullying...
Rise: She said it inspired her... She wrote that she wouldn't let bullies get
her down, that she'd try to make friends...
Rise: Ever since then, she wrote me letters... "This happened to me today," "I
was able to say this," stuff like that.
Rise: "Seeing Risette work hard encourages me," "It makes me feel like I can
still hang in there..."
Rise: Haha, she doesn't really know how it works, huh?
Rise: But still, every time I read her letters, I felt like Risette actually
meant something...
Rise: So whenever things got tough, I would read them over and over...
Rise: Senpai... Do you still have some free time...?

> Tatsuhime Shrine...
> Rise seems to be deep in thought after reading the fan letter...

Rise: ...She's worried about me.
Rise: Officially, I'm taking a break due to illness, so...
Rise: ......
Rise: Before I quit, there was talk about a part in a movie...
Rise: She sounds like she was really looking forward to it...
Rise: "Please get well soon and come back," she says...
Rise: ......
Rise: I'm so glad you were here. I was scared to read it alone...
Rise: I gave up on being Risette. I can't meet her expectations...

[Choices:]
- "Having second thoughts?"
- "This was your decision."
- "She'll understand."

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["Having second thoughts?"]

Rise: I have no regrets.
Rise: ...At least, I think not.
Rise: I mean, it was such a relief to quit. To go back to being the real me...
Rise: Haha...
Rise: ......

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["She'll understand."]

Rise: Yeah...
Rise: I hope someday... I can say, "Thank you."
Rise: And "I'm sorry."
Rise: ......
Rise: Sorry, huh...?
Rise: ...There's nothing to be depressed about. Haha...

> Rise's eyes seem to be watering...

[Scroll down to continue]

[Continue]=========================================================

Rise: Anyway, Risette doesn't exist anymore.
Rise: It's not just this girl. I disappointed lots of other people...
Rise: The president of the company told me that over and over, and I knew
already...
Rise: I knew this was the path I chose, but...
Rise: ......
Rise: Maybe I'll just inherit the tofu shop!
Rise: I'm the shop's main attraction now. I bet I could make it thrive!
Rise: ...Senpai.
Rise: Maybe we should really do it... Y'know, what I was saying a while back.
Rise: You could marry me once we graduate high school, and the two of us could
work at the tofu shop together.
Rise: Doesn't that sound fun? H-How about it? Haha...ha...

[Choices:]
- "Sounds great."
- "If you're serious..."
- "I can't decide that now."

-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------

["Sounds great."]

Rise: ......
Rise: Senpai, you'll say that to just anyone, huh?
Rise: It's dangerous to try to tell everyone what they want to hear...
Rise: Too bad, though! Risette wasn't fooled.

> Rise is smiling...

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------

["If you're serious..."]

Rise: If I'm serious...? I think I'm pretty serious...
Rise: You're always so calm.
Rise: But... I like that.

> Rise is smiling sheepishly.

[Scroll down to continue]

-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------

["I can't decide that now."]

Rise: Hahaha! Senpai, you're so cute!
Rise: ...You're too honest, though.
Rise: Well, I already knew that... You're not interested in me.

> Rise is smiling a bit sadly...

[Scroll down to continue]

Rise: Thank you, Senpai. For being with me all of today...
Rise: I feel a bit better.
Rise: Yeah... I'm fine.
Rise: I can contribute something...

Rise: Sorry for dragging you around all day.
Rise: I'll let you go now.

> You walked Rise to her house and went home.


-----[Lovers Level 7 Skit][LSL07]---------------------------------------


> Okina City, in front of Okina Station...
> Rise invited you to go shopping with her.

Rise: Today, we're buying for you!
