Lucy…. :(

Metal Raven

Damn Lucy… :( She looks like she’s headed to Nakatomi Plaza, because the last roof wasn’t high up enough…

Is it wrong that I can hear the muted talking of the friend group and the progressive ringing in Lucy's ears/head before stepping away from the table?

Had it not been for Alej, the Mucy fallout, and the attempt, I feel that Lucy might have been able to come into her own the way her friends have. Instead, she became walled up. I hope we get some info on the dude from her blank period.

Wonder if she’s gonna go outside and bump into Mike. Fight ensues?

She looked much happier eating outside with Augustus... I feel like she needed some space from this friend group, and the way things went down pushed her back into it. It's great that she's supported by them, but I can understand why she has conflicting feelings, especially given her nightmares. She's gone back to playing this role of "Lucy" and doing things that she thinks are best for them or what they want from her, unable to be honest or true to her own needs and feelings. I can see how this + nightmares + sleep deprivation can build resentment and lead to her lashing out. I'm very interested to see how the chapter title "Victim Complex" will come into play.

Communication is a 2 way road, you cant expect to insult people and treat them like trash and then not talk to them about how youre feeling when they've tried to help so so many times and reach out to you and then get upset when theyre not saying anything to you. I cant feel bad for her here when everyone's /tried/ so much to help her and she only ever burns them away. You can only handle so much emotional abuse from people before you stop putting a hand out :/

Once again, Lucy is her own worst enemy. She constantly shoves others away and then gets into her own head about it.

I think Lucy would have been better off without this friend group in her life, if it was only her and Mike, I think they would have been better off mike would never have been bullied, belittled and become resentful to the point he sought sandy out for comfort and Lucy wouldn’t have to deal with pressure and constant judgement by them to act how they wanted her to act.

She forgot to get ketchup.

Some are reading it this way but I don't think Lucy is responding to people not directly talking to her here for a second with angst. Because we've been directly shown that people have been calling out to talk to her about various things all day and she's been pretty socially Busy. And in fact seems to be struggling pretty bad keeping up with it and having a working filter for the lingering angry thoughts while something's eating her alive and she's hardly sleeping. I think she's just zoning out right now, if not actively taking advantage of no one looking her way right now to slip off, while at the same time she's still haunted by a lot of history.

I know I said this a couple times But I honestly believe August made this situation worst ever since he decided to play the "hero" for her that chapter

Kirk Findlay

I wouldn't say she was forced. She wanted Augustus to have his own friends and grow beyond just being beside her all the time. The only reason she's with these people right now is cause if she wasn't Augustus would notice and not want hert to be alone. Th rest, ya I agree.

Kirk Findlay

A part of me wants to say "Oh wow, what could be worse, having everyone be happy and communicating and inviting you to be apart of it" But I also know Lucy has gone through some shit, and I honestly think she is coping between her two perceptions of everyone else. On one had she has her dream versions of them, who she believes are terrible people. And now in reality they are nothing but warm and welcoming, and a part of her wants them to be those bad people. Atleast how I see it. But I also know she's only doing this so Augustus will feel alright enough to live his own life. I feel Lucy is partly her own worst enemy.
