At this rate, Mike will never get a chance to read the magazine.
theoktony
lh, but James is honestly awful

Mike’s actually allowed to go where he wants, even if it’s just to talk on the phone

owo ?!?

That's my guess too, yeah. Leaning more towards Lucy, since that makes the drama all the spicier. Plus it gives James a chance to recognize her from the arcade.

I'm going to cackle if it's Augustus going straight for the jugular after Mike blew off his request. Beginning of this chapter even had Mike outside, during lunch, doing nothing but being on the phone with Sandy. He couldn't do that *anywhere* else in the school? It's not like he's actually hanging out with James when he's just lingering around on his phone.

I think it's perhaps Augustus, hearing them talk while approaching Mike for something (?) Or maybe Abby?, Lucy has no reason to approach them. Being badly burned twice by Mike, I really doubt she want to somehow talk to Mike about her nightmares :/ . Involving Lucy with Mike now is erasing all her progress in protecting her current mental state. I wonder though, what that line in the sand can be?

My guess is Daisy since Mike has mentioned that Daisy recommends lots of artsy stuff to Mike all the time. Plus Daisy and James kind of know each other because she visits his workplace all the time for Paulo.

IS IT LUCY OR AUGUSTUS
SomeColourMage
hey at least whoever it is has shocked the depression out of him!
Adam
Well now I'm super curious. Watching Mike spiral feels kinda vindicating?
Peligrin
I honestly don’t have a guess who’s talking in the last panel 😱
