Oh thank goodness she didn’t kiss him… hopefully it stays that way

"it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me"

Sablix

ive been asking that for years

Pel

God it’s like she doesn’t even care that something’s wrong unless it gets in the way of her getting what she wants

arjay

When you realize YOUR the ploblem

Pel

I’m trying really hard to be charitable but the fact that she almost lost her temper just now is a great demonstration that she isn’t ready to care about other people meaningfully

Oh good, there wasn't a kiss. But whether she'll actually admit that she lied in LITS is still unknown (not to be negative, I'm trying to voice my opinion without sounding mean here. I just think Lucy saying that stuff in LITS parallels what Mike said in December, so it'd be fitting if she was making it up.)

Zambies

Vero I’m pulling out my hair…. Pls

No kiss! Progress compared to when Mike made her a rebound. Augustus helped her learn boundaries and what a non-romantic relationship could be. I'm coming around to Mucy.

Relathain

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Dregobob

Someone else said this, but alone Mike and Lucy are pretty alright! Together however, they are toxic

Ladies and gentlemen, here you see the "My God, What Have I Done!?" Trope in its natural habitat.

Wow, things are going really calmly. Lucy’s not lashing out, Mike’s not lashing out... Could this mean that we might actually see some form of making up?

1tHurt5T00Much

(No offense meant, but didn't she try to force herself on Augustus and she also kissed Mike first? She genuinely SA'd Augustus)

Steven Marshall

Oh thank god she didnt't kiss him! The last panel of the previous page genuinely had me worried for a hot minute there xD

self-awareness finally reached after 130 chapters

I think Mike first has to do some form of waking up

Sometimes a Badger

He isn’t conscious enough for any kind of reconciliation. What a sad mess this all is…

⚰️ Irani ⚰️

She did, but Augustus was able to shut her down and reaffirm this boundary with her. While an awful thing for her to have done, it was Lucy learning that she can stop enaging in that sort of behaviour.

SprinKah

Basically, feels like she thinks she has the right to just...pluck whatever she wants whenever she wants lol. There's obviously a deeper-rooted issue here ofc, but at face value, yeah.

Arctic

She is also actively in trauma/PTSD headspace rn coming off of a panic attack and many adults can't be well enough within a minute or two of knowing other people have needs and priorities because of how crushing those are so I'm giving her benefit here (but again, as I've said on other posts, still doesnt give her the right to treat others like garbage, but i also sympathize with this specific moment)

Kiall Vun Myeret

Hope this doesn't come across as mean but that comment and your pfp gave me a chuckle

Ashura Atsu

I only just noticed the bubbles and that worries me a lot.

i am a bug

i kinda see it as a concerned anger, maybe im reading it wrong but tbf lucy has been treating everyone like shit this chapter so you are probably right

AlienSpawn

Lucy I’m gonna list Mike problems. 1.he in a relationship with an abusive and manipulating “girlfriend.” 2.All his “friends” hate him and prefer you over him. 3.you and your lapdogs Augustus and David brought Mike to his lowest in line in the sand destroying any progress he was making at getting better. 4.you still treat him the same like he’s not a person you treat him like a security blanket 5.he feels he has to forget his own happiness and focus on other people because hes “too nice.” 6.you said from your own mouth mike never truly loved you and was only using you and he’s taken it to heart regardless of the truth. 7.Augustus misread Mike’s intentions with James and made Mike look abusive and evil because Augustus is a selfish moron who wants to keep you from abandoning him so he can keep squatting at your home. 8.Mike wants a friend who wants to be his friend because of him not because he hangs out with you Lucy. 9.you are keeping Paulo away from Mike when Paulo is the best thing for him right now. 10.he is punishing himself by starving himself to the point of health issues because he’s racked with so much guilt from you and your “friends” who remind him of his faults no matter what he’s going through. Because it’s all about Lucy for them.

Crossbreeze

If Mike can keep conscious then sure, but those bubbles of doom over him, makes me think otherwise.

tooie

Identifying the problem is the first step to finding the solution.

Umber

I so so so hope that Lucy can at least see how rough Mike looks. Surely she can see how thin and hollow he's become, she could use her stubbornness to make that boy eat.

Avian

"Babe, you literally told me to leave you alone no matter what, I AM DOING MY BEST"

Pel

Oh also the lack of eye contact is really reminding me of Lucy and Mike post-drowning-trauma

Krymz0nstreams

It would seem as if you've finally noticed the consequences of your actions. You gonna double down this time too?

starsleeps

Okay maybe I’m the crazy one but don’t think she’s upset that he’s ignoring her I think she’s worried for his wellbeing. Dude looks like shit. I think the “of course” is that he hasn’t just been staying of of the lunch room, he hasn’t been eating lunch at all.

Keywii

At least I am not the only one who thinks Lucy hasn't been completely without fault here. Telling a group that Mike uses her, while she also does the same to him and others is kind of ironic. I hope she sees that she has been pretty toxic and unfair...and whether she realizes it or not she also has intentionally and actively been doing things to hurt Mike and undo any progress he had attempted to make. Up until Augustus and her corned him, he was trying to respect her wishes. He didn't engage with her, but it is impossible to not share the same space when you are attending the same school. Mike realized he hurt her when he kissed her, and tried to keep to his word.

Lucy: You forgot to drink Wilkins coffee today, didn't you? Mike: Yes...

Snowstar837

I think I understand why she reacted this way. She's having PTSD flashbacks and struggling to calm herself down. So she reverts to the last time she really felt safe/comfortable... back when she had her old habits of being abrasive to Mike but could go to him for support. It's like a twisted comfort thing. But then she instantly realizes that she's in the wrong and things are very different now. Plus the fact that he's clearly not in good shape and she can infer why.

mobsterseeker

This is honestly so wild and interesting and actually concerning that she seemed initially surprised by Mike's reaction and him being checked out. While Lucy's judgement has always been questionable when it comes to her and Mike's relationship and she's had strong opinions she's never seemed like. Fully completely delusional in her expectations of it to this extent before!! Mike was her go to emotional support guy for years but he hasn't been a safe shoulder since well before her suicide attempt. Was she just that out of her head in panic attack land that she...was in a state where she couldn't remember that? Or?? What's going on here... I'm truly baffled and on the edge of my seat. Lucy what's been going on with you lately???

Kirk Findlay

can agree with that, frustration at him not being who he normally is, then partway through realizing just how much she's done to him to cause this. It's almost as if she suddenly realized just how far she's pushed him in recent time and recognizes that pain in his eyes cause she felt the same. That's not to say Mikes current problems are all her fault, but she played a noticably big part recently.

Rocky Wolfknight

I really REALLY hope this chapter and at some point later down the line that Lucy and August get called out hard and shown their hypocrisy. Like she has any room to claim he string him Along or goes to her when his girfriend isn't enough, and yet here we are with her approaching HIM. What happen to "keeping distance" from you? MAKE UP YOUR MIND ON WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT AT THIS POINT
