>>149306518>Anon is talking about the flashback chapter Yeah, so am I.
>Sue was terrible in that one.She was definitely overly rude, I'll give you that. But I maintain that from her perspective, Mike started it: the whole group has a scheduled thing they meet up for, and Mike had totally forgotten and ghosted until they showed up at his house. And it's not like he had any excuse at hand; he admitted he'd been playing videogames with Paulo instead. So from their perspective, Mike is basically saying "Sorry I forgot about you guys, I was busy hanging out with your bully", then playing defense for that guy.
That doesn't fully justify Sue's snippiness, but it does explain it. And Mike defending Paulo is baffling both in and out of universe, considering how much of Paulo's bullshit he fields.
>>149306412>C'mon anon. Sue's retort was way out of proportion for Mike trying to defend his friend.Yeah, bringing up Lucy via implication was a low blow for sure. I won't defend that.
I will say this, though: I genuinely think that the group already knows about Lucy's suicide attempt, and obviously they know Mike was being cold towards her. What they don't know is what Mike said to Lucy during December. This makes their cool attitude towards Mike and laying out the red carpet for Lucy when she comes back make much more sense, and explains why Mike keeps acting like he has a dark secret that everyone will hate him if it comes out.
