>The real question is why did David drop the fucking prize that was Rebecca?
Because Lucy got to him first. I'd started to put together a whole fanfiction about it with an alternate timeline. I may pick it back up at some point, but I need to go back and clean stuff up. Narratively, Rebecca lost to Lucy the moment Lucy and David went on their picksocketing date and had that ambulance ride that ended with them on the moon.
>But she betrays David at the end of the moon date!
Yes, but also, the culmination of events for that day really stuck with David. Early bird gets the worm kinda deal.
