Going into a firefight together has a way of quantifying someone as 'friends', at least in her report. Not every soldier above or below you will be, but it's hard not to be behind scrappy cover, yelling plans between two people and taking out an enemy platoon solo without coming out bonded. Maybe it's why she's so free with the word.

Maybe it's because she just trusts too easily.

"Yeah I, uh, I know the feeling. Most of my best teammates are reckless at best." A pause. "Also, y'know, massively bigger than me, which makes stopping them from doing shit really complicated sometimes."
