===Losses===
In one of the Flight's first true fights since their first day of training, [[Morningtide]] is shot down by three Krell ships trailing her. In the same battle, [[Bim]] is killed trying to go after a [[lifebuster]] when its escort peels away and destroys his ship.{{book ref|skyward|19}} During what was supposed to be a mission surveying falling debris, [[Nedd]] recklessly follows two members of [[Nightstorm Flight]] into a falling [[C-137-KJM orbital shipyard]], trailed by Spensa. Nedd and Spensa barely escape the massive shipyard before it crashes to the ground, but the two Nightstorm pilots were killed.{{book ref|skyward|26}} The pilots were actually both Nedd's brothers, which caused him to stop showing up to class due to emotional trauma, until he is officially removed from flight school.{{book ref|skyward|27}}
The relationships between the members of the flight continue to evolve as they experience hardships and gain each other's trust. Although [[Hurl]] reacts negatively when Jorgen reveals that Spensa is Chaser's daughter,{{book ref|skyward|21}} she later realizes that it was unfair to judge Spensa on her family, and the two become friends.{{book ref|skyward|28}} Spensa is brought to tears when the other girls secretly procure some real food for her and offer her a place to sleep in their dormitory.{{book ref|skyward|27}} She also begins to understand that other cadets such as Jorgen have baggage that comes with their privilege.{{book ref|skyward|41}}
