realisation hits hard

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

Girl are you serious

BOTH OF U SNAP OUT OF IT NEOOWW

“it’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me”

ive been asking that for years

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

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.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

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?

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

Lucy x Therapy

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

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.

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

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

Glad shes finally catching on

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

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.

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???
