Day 1
J & D want to be friends with M
M wants to be friends with them too, but only if they agree to be friends with A too
J & D do not want to be friends with A, only with M
Therefore M does not want to be friends with J & D
Day 2
J & D do not want to be friends with M or A
M & A do not want to be friends with J & D
Later on Day 2
M decides to be friends with D only
D wants to be friends with M but not with A
J does not want D to be friends with M, as M has not agreed to be friends with her (J)
By end of Day 2
