>>124164577Okay, I've figured it out. Lucy, the phone call, everything. In the next few pages, it's going to become public knowledge that Lucy and Mike are now dating. Meanwhile, Mike is going to be a bundle of anxiety because of the phone call. What happened in the phone call?
Sandy asked to remain friends.
Why is this a big deal? Because it's going to be a mirror of Suitcase and Taeshi, how they started dating and Suitcase "emotionally cheated" by having a female friend while he was dating Taeshi. Mike is going to keep chatting with Sandy while publicly dating Lucy. Eventually, Lucy will find out, it'll be a big deal, Lucy will make him cut out Sandy, and the comic will end "happily ever after".
Taeshi CANNOT LET THIS GO. She CAN'T. Mike will be super guilt ridden because that's how she thinks Suitcase should feel, despite there being nothing wrong with having more friends than just your bipolar wife, and pathetic sperg Mike is just a more pathetic version of Suitcase.
