False Memory: Rejected from returning as an idol after the events of the game; now believing she's in the TV world again.
After the monochrome bear's speech was over, a sharp pain found it's way into Rise's head. A look of horror sprung to her face as she remembered what exactly happened when she took time off. Personas, shadows, all of it flooded back into her mind with the force of a speeding train. The pain overwhelming, she found herself dropping to her knees. Her head clutched in her hands, she remembered everyone from the investigation team but most importantly the handsome Yu Narukami. Oh, how she wished to get her hands on him in more ways than one. Unfortunately, the fact that she would have been returning to the idol circuit and therefore couldn't have a boyfriend was present.
As the memories surged through her head, she caught a glint of something on the shoreline. Actually, no.. It was two things, both right next to each other, partially buried in the wet sand. Something drew her towards them, her body slowly rising and shambling towards them. All the while she could hear the distinct sound of her old manager's voice in her ear during the meeting which would determine if she could make it back into the business.
"I'm sorry Rise, but you know I took on Kanamin. I can't manage two idols at once. Nobody in this biz can!"
Those words devastated the former idol. She didn't really a reason to hold back now did she? She thought so as she finally reached the glinting objects. Her old glasses? What would those be doing here? They were only of use in the TV world... That's when her attention turned to the small knife next to it. Suddenly it all clicked for her.
Rise was finally able to pursue Yu as much as she wished... Though somehow she now found herself back in the TV world. There wasn't any fog though... Perhaps that was just because of the team's work, and that's what Rise would dismiss it as, putting on the glasses and being hit with a sense of enlightenment. They were all shadows, and were the ones keeping her here. They weren't students, they were shadow selves of the students.
A familiar presence found it's way over her shoulder as she surveyed the situation. "Himiko..." She knew just what it was, guiding her as she looked around the beach. The bear did say that it was time to get back to the killing. It was just the shadow's little game. Rise would appease it, return to the city to take Narukami for her own, and live happily ever after.
"Hey! You there!" Rise pointed her knife at the approaching figure, speaking in the sweetest tone she could muster. "Come here little shadow~ You would pass up the chance to be in the world famous Risette's new stage show, would you~?" A faint outline could be seen behind her, shimmering as if trying to materialize itself fully. Himiko would help her here. Reading whomever's moves before they themselves even knew what they were going to do.
"You wouldn't refuse a cute girl like me, would you?" Her grin stretched to maniacal lengths as she slowly started to advance on the figure, earning her release from this world and letting her finally rest in her senpai's arms. "Come oooooooon~ It'll be fuuuuun!"
