[First taking in a deep breath, Sonic releases it slowly, relaxing his fist and reaching up with his other hand to place it on top of Sheryl's. To think, had they first met back in his own world, he would have dismissed her as a vapid and egotistical socialite, a mere entertainer with no real strength of conviction.]

[How grateful he was that she had the chance to prove him wrong]

Knowing someone like you believes in me will give me all the strength I need when I'm feeling my most worthless. How could I ever live with myself if I let the wonderful Sheryl Nome down?

[Because even if Sheryl believes that confidence should come from inside yourself, Sonic's never truly managed to master it.]
