It is different though, Mike is just existing outside and not interacting with Lucy. Augustus on the other hand has interjected himself directly into a conversation ans is purposefully interacting.

it’s really not equivalent until Mike starts going around trying to rub it in Lucy’s face. Mike should have told Aug to piss off from the start but Lucy either recognised it as a non-issue or did not want Aug to intervene. so who’s really fucking around right now?

I think it’s more of a case that Lucy is too preoccupied with her nightmares to stop and think about Mike being out on the track field. Augustus approaching Mike on his own initiative to protect Lucy, while admirable since it’s obviously coming from a place of love, is ultimately going to backfire and make things worse for her since now she’ll be stressing out about both the nightmares AND potentially getting wrapped up in drama with Mike once again.
Sure these past few pages have been really fun, borderline cathartic, to read (it’s about time somebody truly challenged Mike on how he exploited Lucy’s goodwill for his own self pleasure back in Burnt Bridges) but in universe this isn’t going to help anyone.

if you’re going to make this about Eternal Flame, then while nobody acted appropriately, Lucy kissed Mike

Oooooh James sticking up for Mike? He needs someone too. Even though I don’t disagree with Auggy.. Just his method.

With a much better tone or approach, even suggesting the movie to mike could have actually been a good way for Mike to start doing some perspective taking. But yeahhhh Augustus doesn’t care about whether or not Mike actually gets better. It feels more like he wants Mike to hurt as much as Lucy, which helps no one.

Thank god at least one of them stepped up (David noticing but not defending him speaks volumes on how much he doesn’t actually care for Mike). I thought the both of them were going to stand around like oblivious idiots for the entire exchange despite Augustus straight up getting up in Mike’s face and making visibly recoil in a scared/uncomfortable manner.

Aggressively hanging around is not the same Augustus. Save him James! And David…well…do what you do.

Thank you for helping James put his observational skills to work, David. What a gem 🌟

While I agree that Mike needs to face some sort of accountability for his actions towards Lucy, Augustus is definitely crossing a line here. Mile has already been racked with guilt ever since the incident. He doesn’t need it thrown in his face or to be told “You can’t hang out outside with your friends because I said so.” Lucy is just as free to not hang out outside if the mere sight of Mike being there is enough to make her feel uncomfortable as Augustus stated. He’s crossed the line into straight up bullying and I don’t think Lucy would approve.

Augustus need to watch what he says… literally. There is NOTHING wrong with hanging out, you just said it yourself. Now stop harassing Mike about it.

The added irony is that Auggy has specifically gone up to Mike to deliberately make him uncomfortable, which Mike didn’t do

Aug has good intentions for Lucy’s sake but doing it the wrong way 🤦♀️ love Auggie but dude-❤️🩹 I hope Lucy calls him out for it.

I’m getting more convinced Aug doesn’t actually know the full history of Mike and Lucy. His movie comparison doesn’t line up with reality in any way
Mike never pushed Lucy to the brim
Lucy pushed Mike to the brim with her abusive behaviour which caused him to lash out once, and not even a week later he already was trying to apologise for it.
It’s insane how much guilt is being shoved into Mike for losing his cool against someone who mistreated him for years once

Yeah I get annoyed that everyone seems to forget Lucy wasn’t that nice to Mike and despite he nicely setting boundaries she kept trying to force her feelings on him. She waited until he moved on to return his feelings then got upset he wouldn’t dump his new relationship for her.

The night Mike exploded at Lucy, which resulted in her attempted suicide, he told her all her friends were going to side with him and abandon her. I think this affected her so badly she still doesn’t want to risk being around them.

Not even a week later, Mike was telling Sandy things would be better if Lucy was dead. Did we read the same comic?

And then when he finally got that attempt to make things up eight months later, he failed to answer the simple question of what he actually meant to say.
Because he did want her to die at that time, and only attempted to apologise because Sandy told him to.
