>>89999685The story was always about Lucy and Mike fucking
It just decided to take a long detour. You see Lucy was a huge bitch and at first this was "funny" japanese tsundere stuff. Then that kind of anime era died out and Lucy's tsundere stuff was reimagined in a realistic light where she's just a crazy bitch who is mean to her friends.
Then Mike decided he hated her, even though he also liked her.
Sandy doesn't like anything Mike likes, while Lucy and Mike do like the same things. But while Sandy is seemingly nice and mature from a distance Lucy was a crazy bitch. Now Lucy is back and she's matured because trying to kill herself gave her a new perspective on life.
So now that Mike can't have her and now that she's new and improved his boner for her will pain him that much more.
Also Taeshi said that Augustus and Lucy isn't happening, I don't really see any reason to think otherwise since fucking your friend when you're staying at her house as a longterm guest is kind of a stupid move.
So at some point Mike is going to have to figure out what he is doing with his life and he's going to have to become more assertive and realistic, not the kind of person who kept his mouth shut for years when he didn't like Lucy bitching at him but put up with it because they were friends and then one day decided he hated her forever despite never setting boundaries with her before.
It's all very Bittersweet. Or I guess in that vein maybe the bittersweetness is that Mike will have loved and lost. Either way the story is going to end with Mike and Lucy or Lucy and no one.
