Ex messages are the largest emotional cluster
Across the archive, ex-related drafts combine anger, missing, apology, and unfinished explanation more often than any other relationship type.
No contact turns small moments into drafts
People in no contact often write tiny updates, birthday messages, and late-night check-ins they already know should stay unsent.
Name search works by resonance, not proof
First-name matches are powerful because they feel addressed, but the report layer keeps repeating the same limit: a familiar message is not verified identity.
Missing someone often starts as a tiny update
A lot of longing shows up as the ordinary thing people almost sent first: I saw this and thought of you, I almost told you, or I still reach for your name without thinking.
