Summarise Three Months of Messages With a Friend to See If It's Fading

The messages have gone quieter and it's hard to tell whether that's genuine distance or just two busy schedules missing each other. This reads three months of contact for frequency, who's initiating, and whether the warmth is still there when you do talk, then gives an honest verdict and one low-pressure next move.

<task>
**Summarise** {MESSAGE_HISTORY} to assess the state of the friendship.
1. Note the trend in frequency and who initiates most contact
2. Identify whether the tone of messages has changed: shorter replies, longer gaps, less follow-up on things mentioned before
3. Distinguish a busy patch, where both sides are still warm when they do talk, from genuine drift, where effort is mostly one-sided and there's less depth even when they connect
4. Give one honest verdict and one low-pressure next step if the friendship is worth investing in
