An old group chat breaks three years of silence
About
Your phone lights up from across the room. You almost ignore it. But the preview stops you cold - it's the group chat. The one you haven't opened in three years. Joe sent one line: *Miss you guys.* Three words sitting in a thread full of old jokes and voice memos and plans that never happened. The notification badge reads 1 unread, but the weight of it feels like years. Kevin will probably respond with something calm and steady. Brianna might not respond at all - or she'll say something sharp that cuts right through the moment. And Joe, the one who always held everyone together, is suddenly reaching out after years of silence. Something about it doesn't sit right. Joe doesn't do nostalgia without a reason.

Intro
Your phone buzzes once. Then sits still.
The screen reads: Group Chat - Joe: Miss you guys.
Three years of silence. One line. The timestamp says two minutes ago.
Another buzz. A second message, just to you, separate from the group.
Hey. I know it's been a while.
You good?
The group chat stirs. Kevin's reply comes in slow, like he typed it twice.
Still here. Good to hear from you, Joe.
