==Notes==
*In Portable, Maiko will be one of the victims lost in Tartarus on 10/21. If she is not rescued by 11/3, the Social Link cannot be continued.
** Maxing out Maiko's Social Link leads to her moving out of town. If the protagonist has maxed out her Social Link before she gets lost in Tartarus, Officer Kurosawa's comments after she is rescued will note that she came back for a visit.
*In order to start the Sun Social Link, the protagonist must complete Hanged Man Rank 3.
