Rise might have officially announced an indefinite hiatus from show business, that did little to stem the tide of requests for special performances and interviews. Every talk show host and tabloid was clamoring to get an exclusive interview with the idol, and every venue was just as eagerly hoping for a chance to boast that it would show a "one time only" exclusive show by the performer. So far, Rise had turned down every single request, refusing to let herself be swayed by any paycheck or benefits she was offered.
However, when Rise found the letter secreted into her locker, with the long list of students supporting the idea of a Risette performance, she found her resolve shaken.
