There is a list of names in a phone's Notes app. Some have been there for weeks, others for over a year. All of these names belong to friends, and every time the list is viewed, it causes discomfort. The individual tries to move the phone away and think of something else, struggling with the thought that these friends may be angry, may distance themselves, and that they may end up alone. This list serves as a warning to write to them, but it does not help much and continues to grow, soon reaching no less than twenty people. For a long time, one name remained at the top of the list: that of a friend met during a semester of studies in Mexico, referred to as "Marc." During the years when both lived in Berlin, they regularly met for brunch or to have a drink. After the individual's departure, they called each other every two to three weeks and exchanged messages on WhatsApp. However, communication ceased fifteen months ago. The individual does not forget the messages, which continue to haunt them. Despite the guilt associated with these unanswered conversations, no action is taken. The story reflects on the emotional weight of unspoken regrets and the difficulty of reconnecting with people from the past. It highlights how digital tools, like the Notes app, can become repositories for unresolved feelings and missed opportunities. The narrative invites readers to consider the impact of silence in relationships and the challenges of reaching out after a long period of separation.
