Some people use short phrases casually, especially when they are busy or texting fast.
Could be a soft close
If it follows tension or a long message from you, it may be ending the exchange for now.
Could be playful
The word "lol" can soften the message, but it does not prove warmth by itself.

How should I reply to "lol okay"?
