Steamed Hams but its a Persona 4 Social Link

A quick walk through on how to rank up superintendent Chalmers' second Social Link Rank since I know its difficult to complete during luncheon...

[@slippy495]

"Superintendent chalmers will now take a mortal blow for you in battle!"

I went to Agnes just to let her know that her real son’s been KIA but... I just didn’t have the heart to break hers’. I saw a life that was worth a damn in front of me and I didn’t want to come back to my old life, so I adopted my mentor’s identity to fulfil his dreams of being a school principal in Springfield Elementary to become apart of that new life...” *Insert party member saying the guy’s name in a thoughtful tone...* Skinner: “I may not be the best there is and I’ve been desperate to get the Super Intendant’s approval to the point of having to make up Steamed Hams because my roast was ruined but I tried damn it! At least it’s better than the life I would have lived as a veteran of a war that our ever so “gracious” politicians pinned the blame on when it didn’t go over well with the public... I don’t want to ever go back to my old life because this one I’m living right now? It’s given me something to aspire for, even if it includes your Barts and Willies but I wouldn’t give it up now and I won’t ignore my past any more. I am you and you are... Me.”

I like how since the original episode is in 4:3 format you used Persona 4 vanilla art instead of Persona 4 Golden art.
