After going through the SNS basics with everyone last time,
today — I followed up.
Stories.
Hashtags.
Notification settings.
Post quality.
Insights.
The minimum I needed them to hold onto. I covered all of it.
So.
Today.
I sat down with Ruka and Mashiro-san to see how things had actually landed.
Work room. The usual spot.
Mashiro-san had her laptop open.
Ruka was beside her, scrolling through her phone.
I went through each member's posts, one by one.
First, Aine.
Photo posts.
Framing: perfect.
Light: strong.
Face: looking good.
No problems.
...or so I thought.
"They increased."
I said it out loud before I could stop myself.
Ruka lost it next to me.
"Okay, Aine definitely did that on purpose."
Probably.
But the actual response on the post wasn't bad.
If anything, the comments section had more people saying they loved how very Aine it all was.
...I didn't know how to feel about that.
Next, Hinata.
Video post.
Energy: present.
Spirit: undeniable.
Vibe: consistently high.
But.
"Hinata, the audio is out of sync."
And in the hashtag section:
Why.
"Hinata-chan, 'thing Rei taught me' is not searchable."
Mashiro-san said it quietly.
Ruka put her face down on the desk.
The view count was going up just fine though.
I don't understand.
Next, Shizuku.
Post overview.
Photos: nice.
Caption: very Shizuku.
Replies: careful and thorough.
Notification settings — comments and mentions only, ON. Still holding.
"Shizuku-chan is keeping it up."
Mashiro-san looked quietly relieved.
Though.
Her reply speed had picked up a little compared to before.
She's probably checking more consistently now.
I just hope it's not weighing on her.
After going through everyone —
Ruka collapsed back onto the sofa and said:
"Verdict: everyone grew. But nobody changed."
Mashiro-san laughed a little at that.
I finished my coffee and scrolled through everyone's posts one more time.
Aine's still overflowing with feelings.
Hinata's still doing whatever she wants.
Shizuku's still quietly holding her ground.
...Well.
I think that's probably fine.
Then.
*ping.*
A notification.
New post from Aine.
"...Going up."
Ruka started laughing again.
— Rei 🎧
