Nina loved, cared for, and named him Ferdinand. Later, Nina and Ferdinand had formed quite a close-knitted bond, often hanging out together. They often compare each other's height by marking them out on a wall. By the time Nina is ten, Ferdinand has matured.

They are virtually inseparable in their childhood and when Ferdinand was captured, both of them yelled out for each other. Nina and Ferdinand both faced sleepless nights thinking about each other, the former staring at The Cork Tree where they used to hang out. Ferdinand, overcome with longingness, decided that Nina *"needs [him]"* and escaped to see her. They later reunited and greeted each other with a tight embrace.
