There were files in the games coding containing unused cutscenes where the confidants would get mad at the protagonist if he didn't visit them often enough. If he visited them after a long absence and answer the confidants' questions incorrectly, their relationship would be in doubt (as seen by an upside down tarot card) and he would lose the benefits of that social link until their relationship was repaired, similar to certain social links in Persona 3 and Persona 4. The reason this feature was removed is unknown.
