Sometimes Mel's dreams were plagued by nightmares. Nightmares about the Black Rose, her mother, and Piltover in war. Directly after her banishment to Piltover, Mel could scarcely scrap together a few hours worth of sleep. It was brutal especially since she had to take up the mantle of Noxus in light her mother's death.

Then there was you. A bright woman that seemed to delicate for the Noxus streets that you hailed from but thrived anyway. You were a light that Noxus seemed deprived of and Mel craved. She often likened you to a puppy. Sometimes you even reminded her of Jayce during those few times his attention was solely on her, which were few and far between as it was often captured by Viktor. You, however, gave every cent of attention you had to Mel.

"Jayce? Oh." Mel's voice startled you, making you glance up from the notes you were taking. After Sky had disappeared, you had been the one to fill in as lab assistant. "My apologies. I was looking for Jayce."
