Following their newfound friendship, Hurl and Spensa become wingmates.{{book ref|sky1|31}} The pair make a good team and their new dynamic leads to a noticeable improvement in their flying abilities and cooperation during battle.{{book ref|sky1|31}}{{book ref|sky1|32}} Hurl admires Spensa's tenacity in the face of her treatment by the DDF and becomes a fierce advocate for her wingmate.{{book ref|sky1|31}} She is also highly impressed by Spensa's hunting abilities and how she utilized her strengths to support her mothers business.{{book ref|sky1|31}}
Hurl's death devastates Spensa. In the days following her wingmate's death, Spensa emotionally withdraws and isolates herself in an attempt to deal with her grief. When put on mandatory leave, Spensa sets out to find Hurl's crashed ship, telling her flightmates she wants to give Hurl a proper pilots burial. Secretly, Spensa hoped that Hurl might have miraculously survived the crash, despite evidence that this was unlikely.{{book ref|sky1|34}} However, after finding Hurl's remains within her crashed [[Poco]], Spensa had to face the reality that her wingmate was gone.{{book ref|sky1|34}} Spensa had hoped that by providing Hurl with a proper burial it would help provide closure, however, the ceremony performed by Spensa and [[Jorgen]] did not lessen her grief.{{book ref|sky1|35}} Although Spensa eventually moved past her grief, Hurl's memory stayed with her.{{book ref|sky2|43}}
Spensa views Hurl as a hero who died bravely and has a low tolerance for anyone who suggests otherwise.{{book ref|sky1|33}} As with after the deaths of [[Bim]] and [[Morningtide]], Spensa struggles with guilt while grieving for her friend, and feels conflicted about experiencing positive emotions.{{book ref|sky1|41}} She is haunted by the commitment she made with Hurl about refusing to back down, likely because she acknowledges to some extent how this attitude factored into Hurl's death. When faced with the same situation as Hurl, a broken starfighter and an uncontrolled descent, Spensa is reminded of Hurl's words, however, makes the opposite choice - saving her own life over preserving a doomed ship.{{book ref|sky1|47}} The memory of Hurl also plays a critical role in convincing Spensa to defend [[Alta Base]], despite her fear of going rogue like her father, from a surprise Krell attack when the base is open and undefended.{{book ref|sky1|49}}
