"Considering all the actions you've taken, you must've had someone with medical expertise. Who? And how did you treat your wounds? It'll be easy to find out who if we look into this, you know!"
—Sae Niijima interrogating the protagonist about Tae Takemi.
The protagonist can initiate Takemi's Confidant as early as 4/18 by visiting her clinic in Yongen-Jaya. The protagonist will first visit the clinic in order to gain access to painkillers for the purpose of healing wounds while infiltrating Palaces. After leaving the examination room, a man will walk in and accuse Takemi of making a "special medicine" that can bestow unlimited power. The protagonist will eavesdrop on this conversation. The next time the protagonist visits the clinic, if he asks Takemi for the rumored medicine, the Confidant will start.
In addition to ranking up the Confidant, the protagonist will gain a boost to his Guts through ranking up.
Takemi's romance is locked behind certain dialogue options, with at least one needing to be selected before Rank 9.[1][2]
Completing Takemi's Confidant enables the fusion of Alice. She also gives the protagonist a Dog Tag on 3/19, which allows access to all items sold at the clinic once the protagonist establishes Takemi's Confidant in New Game Plus.
