Well, to be fair, one of them didn't know. There have been two years of former friend acting perfectly pleasant to me when we meet in person, inviting me whenever she hosts a brunch or something for the group, but avoiding meeting up one on one, while hanging out separately with the other two. So one of them knew I felt ghosted but thought I was imagining it and doing it to myself by being oversensitive. And the other one had no idea and assumed we were all still friends.
The one I had talked to about it does try to avoid mentioning when she hangs out with this person, but it generally gets back to me eventually. And in this case, she was asked directly - she couldn't really avoid answering.
