10 million subscribers

10 million subscribers.
Cirava had finally reached 10 million subscribers. They had been waiting on this day for years, constantly checking on their palmhusk and husktop, promoing themselves left and right, and marking down each and every milestone. 10 million subscribers on TrollTube, 7.6 million on Chittr. Millions of views and likes. Multiple streams, constantly running, and making beats on the fly, they've got the algorithm under their thumb.
10 million subscribers. Time for celebration.
10 million subscribers. Their dream had finally come true today.
10 million subscribers.   So why didn't it feel good?   Cirava sighed and rolled their chair away from their desk. Leaning back, they sighed and brought out their phone. They started looking through all their social medias, liking all the congratulations they got, and dear gog they were bored. Bored enough to find entertainment in the sound of their nails tapping against the screen. It was time for something different. They needed something new. They opened up the app store and browsed through the most downloaded apps. All the usual social media, all of which they already had, and then another one. Trollian. A name they hadn't heard in years.   Then it clicked. That's it. That's what it was. They needed to talk to people. After years and years of deafening silence since The Incident, they were finally ready to reach out.
Hesitating over the download button, they looked over at the mirror. Were they really ready? What if it happens again? They weren't ready to go through it a second time. But at the same time, the one thing in the world they've wanted the most had just finally happened, and they felt nothing.
Yeah, it was time. They hit download and watched it install, holding their breath. The black and red logo finally popped up, and they hit it almost immediately. Sign up. resonantSilence. Back to their roots. Back to where everything began. Sending random trolls links to half finished songs, posting them in memos, forcing friends to send them to other friends - it's been a long time.
They sent the name out on chittr and then went back to Trollian.
Alright, Cirava. We can do this. Public memo. Fuck it. Let's join. They closed their eyes, pressed their thumb down, and --
