Jayce is happier with Viktor, and Mel is better off finding someone who can actually be there for her in her life path, cuz lord knows that shit abt to be difficult as fuck
i think Mel’s massive crush on Jayce was actually so adorable, he rlly changed her, i’m def a jayvik shipper through and through, but it did make me v sad to see the obvious hurt and walls going back up when she encountered Jayce again.
I think there’s evidence that Mel was being pulled more towards a #Jayce way of life prior to the council attack, but yeah idk, they just are not aligned well as romantic partners even if they make a great team.
