Mills was lazily lounging on the couch in Melony's apartment. She had thought having a girlfriend was going to be fun, but it was stressful. The woman was extremely clingy, especially after meeting Drax, and finding out about the miscarriage. While she had no expectations of Mills, she did have basic requirements in their relationship, and one of them was not allowing the other to stay sad or depressed.
Like Mills, Melony grew up poor, but she still had her parents. She was born in Bal, but moved between Pan and her native country, following her father's trade. Unfortunately, it meant that she was never able to settle and had never gotten an education. In that aspect, both women were identical. They could read, write, do basic arithmetic, but that was the extent of their knowledge that was not based in the world.
