Ai Ebihara Winter Uniform

This article covers information about the Moon Social Link, Ai Ebihara, including events featured in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden.

The protagonist can start Ai's Social Link as early as May 13th after reaching Rank 4 of the Strength Arcana Social Link (either Kou Ichijo or Daisuke Nagase). The protagonist must also activate a flag by talking to Ai after school, which can be done as early as April 27th. She can be found during the day on the first floor of Yasogami High. She requires rank 3 Courage (Brave).

Ai gives the protagonist a Compact once the Social Link is maxed, which enables the fusion of Sandalphon.

Dialogue Options[]

Ai's Social Link is one of the more complicated to max rank. Her S. Link scenarios have more opportunities to Reverse than any other character and is the only one that can be Broken. Also, to pursue her romance route, the protagonist must not agree to be her boyfriend in Rank 6. Otherwise, the relationship will become "intimate," but only temporarily and her actual romance will be locked out.

Points of Reverse
  • Rank 3: Picking the "That was downright cruel..." option.
  • Rank 5: Picking the "Not gonna happen!" option.
Point of Breaking
  • Rank 9: Picking the "We need time apart." option. (False Lovers route)
Rank 1
  • Rank 1 does not consume time.
