Lucas isn’t on the run. Lucas is on holiday. Northern Ireland, despite all its painful history and its current issues, is a beautiful and only lightly urbanised part of the world. It is part of an English-speaking first world nation where his safety as a trans identified person is rigorously protected. It is a very pleasant holiday destination if you don’t mind a little wet weather.
Lucas is on an extended holiday in comfort. In all honesty, if he would get off the internet, go some walks and explore where he’s staying, he would frankly have a very nice time. The most sensible thing he has done in all of this ridiculous drama seeking crusade is to go a nice holiday in the Irish countryside.
Perhaps he should find himself a longer let somewhere further from Belfast and settle there for a few months. County Down, maybe, somewhere with a good view of the Mourne Mountains. Honestly, he could use a rest and a chance to get a hold of his mental health somewhere quiet. He has that good leaf passport; he could cross the border into Donegal. Or go further south. Connemara is good for a soul.
