Sandy is opening up about her deep fears of loneliness and he thinks about Lucy who’s facing the same thing she is. Lucy developed a tough exterior while Sandy developed a happy facade.

Yeah, this shows all the red flags that Francis was a giant creep.

I don’t like Sandy as someone who’s invested in Mike’s wellbeing, but if what I think happened actually happened, I’d understand why she’d want to continue clinging onto Mike, but clear as glass that this relationship is only going to keep sucking for both parties in the long run.

Seems like he was about to say something like “no one else thinks of me that way” or “no one else means as much to me as you do”… but he stopped because Lucy lol

It reads more to me like he’s mulling over his relationship with the last person who had “no one else” but him. *coughlucycough*

I get what you mean.

This is definitely a clear parallel to Lucy feeling essentially the exact same way, though she actually did prioritize him in her life.

Mike you had nothing but scorn for this kind of justification for needing you (also specifically because so many others only saw her looks!!) when it was Lucy back in the day! Why is it so much harder to reject it from Sandy?
