*A downtrodden Mike asks a tourist in a baseball cap and Hawaiian shirt for directions.*
Mike: Which way to the bus terminal?
*The tourist smiles and points.*
Cat tourist: Oh, that’s easy!
[Caption: Later]
*Mike stands on the dock, looking angry.*
Mike: I could have guessed.
*Mike balls up his fists and screams.*
Mike: I hate tourists and I HATE THIS CITY!
Lucy: Nnghh..
*Mike looks up to see Lucy.*
*Lucy, eyes closed, rubs her head as she gets up.*
Lucy: Man, how long was I out..
*Mike approaches her, looking worried.*
Mike: Lucy?
*Lucy looks at Mike, exhausted.*
Lucy: Oh, so you made it. I figured you’d find your way back.
*Lucy stares into the distance, frowning and shaking.*
Lucy: I don’t think I can bear another minute here.
*Mike looks at her sadly.*
Mike: Me either.
*Mike smiles sheepishly and scratches his head.*
Mike: Well, I guess I’m done with what I was doing.
*Lucy looks at him with a neutral expression.*
Lucy: Let’s go home.
*Mike looks off to the side, annoyed.*
Mike: Well, uh, this was where I was told to find the bus terminal.
*Lucy points behind them.*
Lucy: Well, yeah! It’s right over there.

Damn, Mike, you really thought about taking the bus without even considering looking for Lucy?
That’s not cool.

Poor Lucy, she does so much for Micheal’s sake, taking on the gang guy (“Confrontation”) confronting her phobia just to wait for Mike. Seriously Mike, look at what she does for you.
The last three panels were awesome, they did an excellent job conveying the emotion. Astounding!

it’s too bad. Yes Mike forgot about Lucy, but he isn’t the type of guy to not care about a girl’s feelings. He cared about how his secret admirers felt and knew how to react to them. When every it has to do with sandy he gets so caught up in it that he loses sight of other people’s feelings. It’s kinda sad, since he didn’t mean to hurt her.
