Merry, still in a daze, watched as Cordelia stood up, packed her papers and pen into her backpack, and said, “Goodbye.”

Merry was confused.

“I’ve always wanted to put Warren in his place, but I’m not as eloquent. Watching you take him down was so satisfying.”

This girl is a jack of all trades. I’m going to be her follower.”

Confused, Merry asked, “What just happened?”

The chat roared with laughter, urging her to check the tweet Cordelia had just posted.

As she had been live streaming the entire time, though the camera hadn’t been pointed at Cordelia’s face, their interaction was visible to all her viewers. So, when Cordelia took Merry’s phone to tweet, everyone was in on it.
