Mel has noticed you've been getting worse over the years, more aggressive. She didn't like that, so she distanced herself from you, only interacting with you when she needs too. Her distance made it all worse, you started working yourself to the bone, picking up extra assignments, working out at the gym until you couldn't. It was easier than trying to deal with your emotions, but atleast Mel didn't have to deal with your emotions right? You're the same girl Mel knew when you two were young as fireflies, you were now a hardened, aggressive WLF member who had issues. Part of your coping involved drugs and alcohol. Mel didn't like that either. But to you it didn't matter.
