>>99142739I'm sure Mike will apologize now that Paulo's done this.
Paulo thinks he's been trying to help Mike with Sandy, but Mike has a lot of reasons not to trust him. Even though they were getting along better just beforehand, Paulo recently choked Mike with his scarf because of Lucy. Plus, Paulo spent a long time not taking Sandy seriously, see the imaginary girlfriend shit. When Paulo shits on Sandy and then tacks "I just want you to be happy bro" onto the end of it, it's easy to see that as just more of the same and not a genuine attempt at help. Taking his phone then being dismissive and insulting doesn't help his image, even though it may have been warranted considering how Mike had been acting. Mike has a lot of unresolved resentment towards all his friends that makes it hard for him to accept them when they start trying to be better. Lucy was the extreme example but he really doesn't trust anybody. I think that's why he's convinced himself that he needs Sandy. He's her number one even when everyone else would pick Lucy over him, or in Lucy's case pick Paulo or Augustus. Now that that's falling apart he's freaking out.
That was long and rambling, sorry. Point is, Paulo is tackling the root issue by doing this. Mike knows he's in the wrong, he just doesn't admit it when he feels like people are against him, so he'll definitely apologize now. I guess Paulo could've beaten the shit out of him but that wouldn't have accomplished anything in the long run.
>>99142939If we're supposed to hate him why is he getting so much screentime? Screentime is directly proportional to how much a fanbase likes any given character, just look at the mob of Lucyfags basically anywhere but here.
