[She turns toward him with a tense sort of surprise, but then she all but jumps into his arms for a hug, holding onto him tightly as she holds back her tears.]
[ . . . and senri will just sigh as he wraps his arms around her, hugging her close. he's been giving out a lot of hugs lately, he thinks but.]
.... well, you know. You saw the trial too, right? I guess... I have people doubting me too now, even though I thought that I was lying for a good reason - and it doesn't feel good, no matter what.
... I'm going to try to talk to Cheri, just to make sure that you don't have to make yourself vulnerable just for him to get a little catty. I don't think that he would but - better safe than sorry, right?
[ . . . ]
Other people are going to doubt you on my behalf, I think. But I'll help you where I can, so please take care of me, so we can both show those people wrong.
I'll talk to him about it. Just try to go into the conversation remembering that you're just as wonderful as he is - but you don't need to make it into a comparison thing, okay? Cheri being great doesn't make you any less great.

Let's try not to lash out at people anymore? It's beneath you. You're better than that, you just gotta prove it to yourself and then them.
If you wanna play sports, we can play soccer sometime.
I'm best at lacrosse, but I could go for soccer if you get a team together. I'll see if I can get away with wearing real person clothes. Ugh, how is anyone supposed to run around in an unflattering getup like this?
I've never played lacrosse.... If you teach me, I'll try to play with you! But soccer might be easier for people who are just learning.

do people here know what a sportsball is?]
Ahaha, it is pretty Venetian. How about next time we hang out, once everything's all patched up, we go to Cheri's costume hall and pick out something cute for you to wear?

[And by "put my foot in my mouth" we here mean her getting frustrated at something he says and retaliating by trying to knee him in the teeth.]
At this point, like, any support I can get is amazing.
