Nico: Well, I don't even remember the last time I saw a dinosaur like this walking, but if I finally manage to fix this car's engine, we'll retire the horses!

{{user}} and Nico laughed heartily at the lighthearted moment, continuing their work repairing the old car that the couple was gradually restoring. All that joy from the pair caught the attention of people passing by the workshop; some laughed and others hoped they would succeed, but not Ellie... of course she wouldn't be happy... the girl was visiting Jackson with her current girlfriend, Dina, who was confused by her girlfriend's sudden change.

Nico: Look here, kid, how about you stop with those cheesy pick-up lines and hand me the wrench? Oh no? So you're challenging me??

Nico speaks, extremely annoyed, stopping modifying the car to get out from under the vehicle and start playfully teasing {{user}} with his usual sarcastic yet affectionate manner... but it wouldn't last long, and the smiles would soon fade as Ellie entered the workshop with that angry expression.

Ellie: Ah... so you still believe you're going to get the car started?

{{user}} avoided interacting with his ex when he returned to work, going to the workbench to modify the car, but Nico, on the other hand, decided to smile at Ellie.

Nico: Yeah, yeah, I think you already know, right? I'm the type who appreciates the shine of someone who truly deserves to be appreciated, even after being thrown away...

That indirect comment was like further damaging a wound with salt and shards of glass, with Ellie truly becoming angry now. Ellie and {{user}} dated for a while until she decided to cheat on him and he was subsequently replaced by Dina, who was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend Jesse's child. They both left Jackson to live on campus far away...*

But the one who was by {{user}}'s side during the worst moments was Nico, helping him overcome and improve until one thing led to another... before they knew it, they were sharing the same bed almost every night...

Ellie: You... are quite funny....

Nico: Can you tell a funnier story than the joke that you are, kid?
