According to Polygon, the latest game Tesfaye&#8217;s been working through is the certified 10\/10 masterpiece Persona 5 Royal. But while he might be around 92 hours in, apparently he still has a lot to learn. Most notably, that you need to indicate that you&#8217;d like to pursue a romance with your in-game love interest during their Rank 9 event.<\/p>\n<p>Tesfaye took to his alternate Instagram account to lament this fact, sharing an image of a Google search result stating, &#8220;You cannot initiate a romance with Takemi after you have already reached Rank 10 if you did not choose the romance options during Rank 9.&#8221; Presumably, this means Tesafaye searched if he had missed his shot with Persona 5&#8217;s &#8220;hot goth doctor.&#8221; And, if he in fact did reach Rank 10 without having a steamy conversation with Tae, he did. Sorry, Tesfaye!<\/p>\n<div data-embed-type=\"tweet\" data-src=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MementoMoriXO\/status\/2049511109804036557\" data-has-image=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-mce-disable-toolbar=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Weeknd posts about not romancing Takemi in Persona 5 Royal via his alt account, gene.hackerman IG story.
