Came across https://ask.metafilter.com/373732/Maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone while thinking of https://maryannemohanraj.com/2021/05/16/little-pandemic-socialization-note/ , 1 glimpse of each side of the "lost touch with my friends"/"our friend seems to have disappeared" sadness. The latter has a happy ending; the former is still in progress.

"if someone you care about has gone radio silent during the last year, it might be worth reaching out and checking in on them."

A couple months ago I texted a friend I hadn't talked with in 15 years; we then had a fun conversation.

It can work.
