Please continue Sue, it’s nice to hear someone else’s thoughts on that fateful night 3 years ago

Fiver

Atleast this argument is actually somewhat productive

Frith

I BELIEVE IN YOU SUE!!!! SHAKE THINGS UP!!!!

Zambies

Only time I’m fine with Lucy being called out

Rocky Wolfknight

Ok yeah she needs her ass called out how spiteful she's being with Sue And I hope it influences Sue about Lucy and maybe start questioning what happen with Mike since she's more present lately

Lil_Brimstone

The drawer overflowing with receipts has been opened, Lucy!

Nev Ravenoak

A high schooler calling their peer self-absorbed is funny regardless of the context. Sorry sorry lmao

esinololly

"You're so self absorbed" oh shit!!! It circled back!!!!

Sometimes a Badger

Only this instance in particular? Has Lucy been totally justified in all past interactions?

Nev Ravenoak

@Badger yeah, as much as I empathize with Lucy having trauma and lashing out, I have to say she'd probably do well with more people calling her on her BS tbh

nalem

The girl with the victim complex calling someone else "self-absorbed" sure is a choice. IIRC Lucy didn't check on Sue either.

Sometimes a Badger

That is about how I feel. I grew up around a lot of lingering trauma, and it can be easy, especially for adults, to look at the unfolding individual traumas of multiple youths and assume a “good guy” when it’s almost always messier than that. People with trauma who don’t learn to handle their trauma often pass aspects of it on to others, which is part of why good support structures are so powerful.

Rocky Wolfknight

I wonder if this is going to be Sues "pedastal" of Lucy thats beginning to crack

Elizabeth Hunter

Oof, Lucy, this your least defensible position, even if I understand how trauma can warp your memories. Daisy was giving you some harsh critique, Paulo was being his past horn dog self, and Sue was starting to get frustrated with everyone else in the group. No one was acting out of malice, and Lucy needs to accept that the only one she should be mad at is Alejandro (and Augustus I guess, but it was Lucy's choice to bring him into her life, so she should have dealt with this with a therapist)

Crossbreeze

Lucy I swear on the bow on the back of your head... If your reply is anything other than "Yes", so help me!..... *Mike Wazowski starts singing "So Help Me"*

Crossbreeze

When the pedestal cracks, I hope Sue remembers Mike at the same time. Dude could use a..... everything....

Rocky Wolfknight

I'm honestly hoping that Sue begins to connect the dots about Mike being more absent lately. Not just form not coming for lunch, but the fact he even barely comes to their guild on their online game at all. Especially if Lucy and August are more present inside, I hope she sense something is off. Cause I know as much as she dislikes Mike for how she treated her and others lately due to his girlfriend, I hope she shows she still cares and at least goes check on him too. August, David and Lucy need a bit of a reality check

2026-10-29 00:00 If Lucy answers "No" to Sue's question in the last panel. Sue's pedestal of Lucy will come crashing down, and Lucy will not only burn that bridge with Sue but she'll soak it in gasoline for good measure. If Lucy isn't careful then what Mike's harsh statement about Lucy, "Eating alone/No one cares about her", might become a very grim Self Fulfilling Prophecy....

Yeah, 100%. Plus I hope it influence Paulo to finally step up and call her and August out too.

Joselyn Rivera

Especially after she guilt trip him like that like yeesh

Xiro

Zambies has always been a Lucy apologist lol

Rocky Wolfknight

Yeah, not to mention she literally told him NO. So no deal was made. THEN she decided to back pedal on it when Mike needed support at his lowest and TOOK it away from him. Girl needs to be humbled

Joselyn Rivera

And mom should've gotten her a gosh darn shrink

SCD

Lucy: No. Sue: >:(

Rocky Wolfknight

Actually that raises another question, has she been still seeing a therapist, or at all???

Joselyn Rivera

With how things are going I bet ya she started but then stopped and refused to go back

Rocky Wolfknight

Or for all we know, skipping and likely lying about it so her mother doesn't get suspicious

Joselyn Rivera

Her mom couldn't be that naive to give her enough trust to go to one by herself after what happened.... Ok maybe

Rocky Wolfknight

Only person that seems to keep tabs on her and won't tell others is August.

Joselyn Rivera

But even he wouldn't be that stupid to cover for her if she wasn't going to therapy

Rocky Wolfknight

Wouldn't be suprise with how far he's willing to go for her Especially what he did to mike.

Krymz0nstreams

All considered, Didn't Sue and Paulo get the worst of it during that confrontation? Sue literally beaten down and Paulo retraumatized then beaten down

Rocky Wolfknight

In that moment I now hate him for what he did. This didn't help either side, it felt like he made it worst with no chance of reconciliation or any real healing at all. And David just added more fuel to the fire. Sorry if I'm that vocal with them, I just outright hated what they did and how it potentially made their situation even worse

Joselyn Rivera

The fact is they others are still ticked with Mike cause of the whole thing with him and Sandy hence why they don't pay much attention to him anymore

Rocky Wolfknight

I feel like this is all going to come crashing down if something really bad happens to him.

Joselyn Rivera

Believe me I am WAITING for that to happen

Rocky Wolfknight

The question is, when. And if anyone will care or jump to action, or has August and Lucy fully isolated him. Even his own sister is getting resentful with him when he's at his lowest. When is the storm that's going to hit!

Joselyn Rivera

No with his sister that's their mom's fault

Rocky Wolfknight

Exactly, it's like it's all falling too well into place when August made that push and getting Mike isolated and self hating

Rocky Wolfknight

I really hope someone, or anyone, steps in to check on Mike and talk to him about what happen with Lucy and August. If anything I was hoping Paulo or Abby will step in, but now I'm not sure.

Joselyn Rivera

My money is on him passing out on that track field and no one finds him till gym class or the track field club

Rocky Wolfknight

God I hope James get so guilt ridden over it cause he didnt care until it starts affecting his track team and all of a sudden he now cares.

Crossbreeze

Not just that, but I'm thinking either Abby, Jasmine, or even his sister will find the lunch he threw away in the trash too

Joselyn Rivera

My money is on Jasmine. With how his sister is acting highly doubt she'll notice

Crossbreeze

If that happens well it's one less friend Lucy will have, Mike's outburst about Lucy having no one care about her, will be a self fulfilling prophecy

Rocky Wolfknight

I hope it's enough to convince her something is up and try to convince Abbey to continue checking and pushing too

Joselyn Rivera

One can hope it's bad enough he doesn't even know about Daisy and Pablo

Rocky Wolfknight

Oooh true...I really hope Sue or Lucy don't bomb drop this if things go sideways

Joselyn Rivera

It's those two especially Lucy so highly likely

SpaciousRooms

I do thinks it’s great that Sue is standing up for herself, but is everyone forgetting that Lucy was sexually assaulted in this confrontation??? She BY FAR got the worst of it in that situation and afterwards Paulo and David continued to comment on her body constantly. Daisy was there and still, very recently, gave Lucy shit about being pretty and wanted by boys. She has every right to be incredibly angry (not that she has handled it well, I just think it’s understandable).

Kirk Findlay

Lucy, better not lash out any further. Sue has a point. She was hurt too, and has tried to move on by simply moving on. She knows that swelling on it won't make anything better and just tried to move on. That's not selfish, that's just how you cope. But if Lucy keeps lashing out and doesn't back down then Sue is really gonna have to consider that maybe Lucy is gonna be hard to be around, just like Mike too.
