The Turning Point: Mykal Jones’ Choice in Envy

This is possibly an unpopular opinion, but out of all the characters in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 series, Mykal is one of my favorites. She was one of the most disliked, even after her transformation in Hawaii, but honestly, I think that’s because we could see a little of ourselves in her.

At first, she was difficult to connect with. I’ll admit that.

But once we saw how her outer world shaped who she became, we understood the catalyst behind her actions, even when we didn’t agree with them.

Mykal’s turning point was subtle. Truthfully, it probably wouldn’t have happened had her envy not triggered the series of events that led her to Hawaii in the first place. But once she gets there and sits across from Dr. Liz, Mykal realizes something important:

The reason her grass doesn’t feel as green as everyone else’s is because she’s too focused on theirs to nurture her own.

And that realization changes everything.
