How to Start the Sun Social Link
In order to start the Sun Social Link, you’ll first need to progress the Hanged Man Social Link to Level 3. This will introduce Akinari to you. After that, you’ll need to raise your Academics Social Stat to Rank 4, Smart. Once you’ve done that, speak with him on the bench at the shrine. He’ll mention that he lost his Red Fountain Pen and strongly hint that he wants you to find it. Return to the Student Dormitory and locate Koromaru. Speak with him to find the pen. Return it to Akinair and choose to spend time with him. Time will pass but you’ll gain the Sun Social Link.
