The Temperance Social Link, represented by the enthusiastic French exchange student André Laurent Jean Geraux (commonly known as Bebe), offers a heart-warming narrative centered around traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Understanding how to unlock this bond and choosing the ideal dialogue responses ensures efficient ranking without wasting precious calendar days.
How to Unlock and Schedule the Temperance Social Link
Unlocking Bebe's Social Link requires meeting a few specific prerequisites during your school term. Players must first progress the Hierophant Social Link with Bunkichi and Mitsuko to Rank 3.

Once unlocked, Bebe can be found standing outside Class 2-F or inside the Home Economics room at Gekkoukan High School. He is available during daytime after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Keep in mind that he will not be available during exam weeks or school holidays.
Best Dialogue Answers for Fast Progression
To maximize your Social Link points during interactions, always bring a Persona belonging to the Temperance Arcana. Having a matching Persona grants a significant point multiplier for every correct dialogue choice. Supporting Bebe's enthusiasm for sewing and traditional culture will consistently yield the highest affection points.
During early ranks, praise his craft skills and express enthusiasm for making traditional Japanese clothes. In middle ranks, reassure him when he worries about his family back in France and support his desire to stay in Japan. When reaching higher ranks, encourage his determination to prove his passion to his uncle.
Key Rewards for Maxing Bebe's Social Link
Advancing the Temperance arcana significantly boosts experience gained when fusing Personas of the same class. High-level Temperance Personas provide excellent elemental versatility and healing capabilities during Tartarus explorations.
Reaching Rank 10 rewards you with a unique key item from Bebe. This special item unlocks the ultimate fusion for the Temperance Arcana in the Velvet Room. Maxing this link also grants total closure to Bebe's personal journey of self-expression.
Tips for Efficient Social Link Management
Because daytime hours on school days are competitive, managing your schedule wisely is vital. Prioritize school-based Social Links like Temperance during term time, saving non-school links for breaks.
If a rank upgrade does not trigger automatically, utilize evening activities or shrine fortunes to gain missing points. Combining matching Personas, high exam scores, and supportive answers ensures you complete the Temperance link smoothly.
