Reece – Say, Jason.

Me – What?

Reece – It's been just 6 days since we have been knowing each other, and we got along so well. But rather than that, I am still in a question. Why are we kept on stand down yet? Means even though we were just used in a single raid which was totally won by the Sandman and Steel.

Me – You are using their nicknames?

Reece – Yeah, their nicknames sound cool right? Even I want to find one.

Me – Yeah, even I need one. I heard the nickname system is meant for an easier communication and talks. Which is a very good tactic.

Reece – Hey, recommend me some nickname!

Me – Really?

Reece – Yeah.

Me – Um....then. 'Rose'?

Reece – A flower? General Kate's got the flower department. Damn, I need to find a better nickname.

Me – Then....Volt? Beat? Silk? Kit? Kite? Spark? Slate?....

Reece – *Interrupting me. Ah, something more creative!

Me – Then how about....Light?

Reece – Light? Um, sounds cool. Sounds great, man.

Me – Light....Light....Lightè! Your nickname's Lightè!

Reece – It's our squad name right? No....the new department's name? Sounds kind of....

Me – Well, I do say it's a great nickname suiting you! Regardless it's our department's name, why not represent our department from our nickname then!

Reece – Lightè! I guess I'll be choosing this as a nickname! Now, your turn to find a nickname?

Me – How about 'Zero'?

Reece – Zero? If you choose it, then we will together sound as 'Lightè-zero' just as our department! And we do match up! You really choosing the nickname as 'Zero'?

Me – We both are a team of duo, 2 idiot best friends, a family! So, I guess it sounds meaningful then? Lightè-zero'? So now, I am 'Zero'! We'll be the most decorated duo in service records of our 'Lightè-zero' department!

Reece – YES! Sounds epic! Love it! Then now! I am Lightè! And you are Zero! And we stand for each other, as the Lightè-zero!

Me – We brought this name to life!

Reece – Surely yes we did! Alright! A coffee cheers onto the Lightè-zero!

Me – Cheers from the cup! Alright, I got fresh myself up. I got a date with Grace today in like in a hour now. You are going home or staying with Ellie?

Reece – I was going to go home. What about Ellie's dinner?

Me – I'll be back home today on time, so I'll bring her something, until then she'll be waking up.

Reece – Okay. Or should I cook something for her? It do be good then?

Me – Nah I'll be back on time though.

Reece – Leaving her alone at home, I don't think you'll be totally focused on your date then. I would say I do cook something for her dinner then? Even I will wait here for her. Until then, you can then totally focus on your date.
