Rank 10
Just like Rank 1, the dialogue choices here won’t influence your Social Link. Thus, you can choose whatever you want. During Rank 10, you’ll receive theKid’s Letterkey item from Yuko. With this, you’ll be able tofuse the ultimate formof the Strength Arcana,Atavaka. This Persona’s base level is 72, so you may not be able to fuse it immediately.
