[Sheryl blinks at the slightest shift of posture, a curious look over her features. For all the high praises she bestows upon herself, she relies on her ability to be observant of people to understand them and well, it's hard to ignore how stiff Sonic feels against her. She carefully pulls away and straightens up after hearing his laugh, frowning.

She made friends and found some jobs, but... what if someday she finds a shuttle and a way back to the Vajra planet? She can't take Sonic, Tsuzuki, Elsa, Hajime, Genos, or all of her friends with her... they have homes to return to, plus some of them are actually dead.
Not to mention what he says next actually strikes a chord with her.]
I've held a few burdens before... that hasn't stopped me before.
