Responsum Amicitiae

(Reply to Friend, short and warm)

Dosage	One (1) message of any length, sent within 60 seconds of remembering, no preamble about the delay
Frequency	Per unanswered text
Duration	Lifelong
Refills	Unlimited — the friend, statistically, was also late on something this month

Side effects May include the specific lightness of ending a self-shame cycle with a single message, a friend's warm quick reply, and — critically — the observation that the six-day silence was not, apparently, a character verdict but simply a normal friendship fluctuation.

The Institute dispenses Responsum Amicitiae for:

Severe am-I-a-bad-friend rumination
The six-day response-delay shame cascade
The specific pattern of silence-compounding-silence until messaging feels impossible

What is this?

Prescription Responsum Amicitiae belongs to the Institute Pharmacy's catalog of non-pharmacological interventions. The dosage is fictional. The intervention it describes is not. Patients who follow it tend to observe the predicted side effects.

The pharmacy's plain-language rendering is Reply to Friend, short and warm. The Latin is for the slip; the English reading is for filling it at home.
