Whoever made that post that Jayce should be Mel's narrative "dead wife" is a genius because it fits so well. Jayce to Mel represents all the hope and potential she sees in Piltover. When Jayce steps into her life he sparks the breakthrough she'd been waiting for Piltover to truly rise. He's the part of her life where Mel could believe that with hextech she could a build a world out of Noxus' reach and out of her family's legacy of violence.

But that part of her life, that hope she had, died with Jayce and the possibilities he created for her and Piltover. Jayce's death marks the actual end to the chapter of Mel's life that was Piltover, and now she's off to Noxus to start a new one.
