Evidence

Check the details.

The wide photo

Maya was at the far edge because she had just set the timer and rushed back with the snack tray.

The crop

Brooke used a vertical crop as the private recap cover, leaving Maya visible only as a sleeve and part of a cup.

The album

The recap stayed inside the friend group, but the cropped cover was the first memory everyone saw from the night Maya hosted.

Pick your side

Should Brooke put Maya back, keep her crop, or ask before cropping people out?

  5. The crop looked cleaner. The memory got smaller.

  6. Maya asked for the wide version.
