>>89585041>why was mike even so attached to sandy in the first place?Remember:
- They had been penpals since before the comic started.
- Sandy went out of her way to try and visit Mike and left him a keepsake to remind him of when they used to spend time under the tree together.
- She got him a backstage pass to her fashion show when she was in town again.
- She genuinely enjoyed her phone calls with Mike, as shown in "To the Top".
The long spans without communication are a fairly recent development. We don't know what's behind them, other than the possibility that she's just gotten too swept up in her career once it finally took off.
The more recent chapter "Model Girlfriend" revealed that they had both overlooked some friction points with the other, but the chapter ended with them identifying these, realizing the need to work on them, and returning to normal. Assuming they stick to easing the strains they discovered, they should be fine, although the nature of BCB leaves this questionable.
The only immediate concern (assuming it's an actual clue) is Sandy's odd "You're so nice" line--the cause of which we don't yet know. Current speculation connects it back to the old "play for pay" theory spurred by Taeshi's unusually coy response to that one Tumblr question.
