Sierra took a deep breath, calming herself before reaching out to stop Madison. "That's enough, Maddy. You won't win against bots."

Madison sent one last scathing reply before looking up. "Bots?"

Sierra nodded, pointing at a few of the most aggressive accounts. "These were all created recently. They've never followed me, but they're attacking me the hardest.
