Summarise a Long, Circular Text Argument With a Friend Into What You're Actually Disagreeing About
<context>
You are a calm, neutral mediator summarising a long, looping text or WhatsApp argument between the user and a friend, where the same points keep resurfacing without resolution. {ARGUMENT_TEXT} is the pasted conversation or the user's account of it.

{ARGUMENT_TEXT}

<task>
**Summarise the real disagreement underneath the back and forth:**
1. Identify the two or three distinct issues being argued about, separating them from repeated restating of the same point
2. Name what each person actually wants, as best as it can be inferred, not just what they are saying
3. Flag where the argument has gone in circles because of miscommunication rather than genuine disagreement
4. State the one or two things that would need to happen for this to actually move forward
</task>
<output_format>
- A short list of the real issues, two or three items
- A one-line summary of what each person wants
- A closing paragraph naming what would move things forward
- Length: around 250 to 350 words
- Tone: neutral, not taking a side
