Author commentary

Veronica: Lucy was tiredly coming out to the courtyard a little late and sees this display and is like “oh for fuck’s sake, can’t leave you alone for a second”

To be fair, I’m sure the feeling is mutual lol

Sigh… Augy 🖤 , I hope he will only learn from this. Nice timing Lucy, before he will make it worse for himself. :(

oh, you mean, the person who told you it’s fine, and made it clear she doesn’t want you intervening, might disapprove of you being a dumbass like this????

BEST PERSON TO STOP AUGUSTUS, HELL YEAH!

See, Mike? Lucy doesn’t want to see you suffering, either! She just knows that right now you both keep hurting each other, and wants to avoid it as long as she can.

Lucy seems to be on team “he’s just existing my guy”

Yeah, also Lucy is not a vengeful, bad person. She doesn’t want any of this. Just to stay away from all that.

if Lucy isnt going to let Mike “scare” her away from the arcade, shes not going to let him scare her away from her favorite spot during recess either!!

“Get back in your shame box” isn’t a justified angle, Auggie. Kids do shit on their friends behalf all the time, but often it is just an excuse to sublimate their own suffering, and rarely is it genuinely helpful to anyone.

Oooh I’m excited to see James’ reaction if he recognizes Lucy from the arcade. I feel like Mike is gonna deer in headlights even harder since Lucy showed up. He was pro

I suddenly had a thought. Could be that Augustus loosing control over this and aggressively inssisting to win is because he has an unresolved trauma regarding how he couldn’t protect Melanie and she almost died? Now he worries to fail protecting Lucy as well. If so it can be an intresting point to expand on.

I love this take because the Abby/Augustus parallels 👀 just trauma of losing a close woman loved one and projecting that guilt onto a random teen girl in their circle

So glad that Mike decided to agree to a boundary and then go back on his word, really excited to see one of the last positive relationships Lucy has left fall apart because she’s sticking up for a guy who’s always choosing to let her down in return.

Augustus and Lucy are my fave and I don’t think she’s sticking up to Mike. I think she just doesn’t want be “that bad guy” and wants to do what’s right, by understanding that you can’t really force someone to not go somewhere because of her. Currently she cares about Augy more than anyone else, she doesn’t want him to stoop so low. They might have a fight over this but I don’t think it will be a long one.

Honestly same here. I totally get where Lucy is coming from and think she’s right to step in, goodness knows that people don’t need ammunition to suspect she’s to blame or behind it when people stick up for her behind her. She needs to set the record straight here and draw her own line and she’s right to do so but I’m personally really worried about her and Augustus both. The stress of this situation and worry for Lucy is obviously bringing back bad habits for Augustus and meanwhile some of Lucy’s bad habits of lashing out and isolating are making a return too. I would really hate for Lucy to lose the most supportive peer she has right now, even temporarily, and it would sting even harder if it’s yet another friend she decides it’s better to distance herself from because of Mike stuff…

Hold your ground Auggie a bargin was struck!

Also, I don’t know if I’m slow, but many characters have been looking increasingly bedraggled and unkempt from the mental strain they have endured over the years. Give these cats a spa day.

Finally Lucy and Mike in the same location again.

Hopefully this leads to them talking and both sides admitting their faults and finding a way to move forward.

It’s very clear that staying out of each others way and letting everything stay unresolved is not working for anyone
