I don’t like the feel of Mike in that last panel. There’s still 17 pages left in this chapter… I have a veeeerrryyy bad feeling Mike is about to continue being a little bitch and attack Lucy to try to make himself feel better rather than confront his past with her. Now that he’s not totally hysterical, such a heel-face turn as to not continue being the absolute worst might be a bit much character development in a single night… the weight might have been lifted, but perhaps Mike’s still the same shitty friend he was while carrying it…?

I really, truly, hope that's not what happens. I'm all for them becoming friends again if Mike is actually sorry for what he did and works to correct it, but Lucy would have to have some kind of massive self-esteem issues to get romantically involved with the guy who drove her to attempt suicide. It's not like he gave her a cold and she eventually fully recovered; the mental state he helped put her in led to major depression, and that's something that someone likely has to cope with for the rest of their life. There often is no "fully" recovering from it. Why would anyone want to be with someone that vulnerably and know *that's* in their history together? It was pure *luck* that she didn't actually die from jumping. How can you be with someone knowing how they made you feel and that a dice roll is the only reason you actually survived it?
