#i'm not defending mel for gaslighting though

Household: Knight

Uhh, so the last time... *soap opera tune plays*

Mel got contacted by the witches' council, who weren't happy over a certain scientist from Foxfire publishing a physics theory about magic. So Mel used her newly gained position as the editor of the local newspaper to expose the military funding behind Julian's theory, hoping that undermining his credibility is enough to get the council off her (and Julian's) back.

I can't emphasize enough how much losing Cloud's friendship over it hurts her, though. Cloud is pretty much the opposite of unforgiving but anything that threatens Julian (or Jonas) just might be where he draws the line.

Knowing none of the above, Luke chose a poor moment to get on Mel's nerves and got hexed for it. And then he got gaslighted to question the whole incident as that was one issue too much for Mel to handle at the moment.

Tbh I don't like Luke living here and neither does Mel, but we both know very well that he doesn't have any other place to move in. Especially as he seems to be eternally stuck with his career, sigh.
