What to study

A Social Link conversation is staged inside the place it happens: Kenji and the protagonist sit at the Hagakure ramen counter in the 3D scene while Kenji's 2D portrait cuts in from the lower-left at several times his in-world size, backed by a jagged blue splash that is Reload's water-and-ink signature rather than Persona 5's red comic panels. The dialogue box is a deep-blue slanted slab with the speaker's name on a separate tab (Kenji Tomochika, marked TALK), and the calendar never leaves the screen: the top-right chip reads 4/22 Wed, After School beside a moon-phase icon, because every conversation spends the game's scarcest resource, a time slot. Log, Auto and FFWD prompts sit quietly at bottom-right for players re-reading a scene. Frame at about 0:29 in the Announcement Trailer 1 (ESRB) (Steam).
