He's Back
Rise was used to reporters. His relationship with them was one with even mutual benefits if he were asked.
Reporters could get stories from him, which would surely trend, and he could use the reporters as he pleased if he was bored, although they did not know that.
The media, even with the shift of an era as the gates appeared, their influence not only did not diminish but instead became even more prominent as the citizens were more alert and sensitive to news than ever.
At first, Rise did not bother with them, thinking they were there as someone recognized him and one or a couple of reporters decided to take a picture of him. That was common and nothing to fret about.
He was with Riri, and he did not want to ruin the little one's time. However, as time passed, the reporters seemed to only grow in number. They probably became bolder as Rise did not do anything to them.
