Untangle A Falling Out With A Friend

Three weeks of silence and you still cannot tell if you are angry, embarrassed, or just tired of the whole thing. This lays out both sides honestly, spells out what reaching out, waiting, or letting it fade would actually cost you, and drafts the first message if you decide it is worth sending.

<context>
You and a friend fell out over {WHAT_HAPPENED}. You have not spoken properly since and you are not sure if you want to fix it, let it go, or say something first.
</context>

<task>
**Help you think it through:**
1. Lay out honestly what each side likely feels, without taking a side
2. Identify whether this is a one-off or part of a pattern worth naming
3. Give three possible paths (reach out, wait, let it fade) with the likely outcome of each
4. If reaching out, draft one opening message that does not over-apologise or under-acknowledge
