[ Miwako's hug was just long enough for Nakama to respond; at "I've even got Ushiro," Miwako released her. But she still felt worried. ]
That's good. [ A pause, thinking what else to say... It's in her nature to be a helper. ]
But you know, you're still very young. My sister told me that, when she was your age, she only had Tsutomu for a friend, and her schoolmates used to bully her for being weird. But she wasn't unhappy. Then when she went to high school, she found people who understood her and she got along with them, and now she's super famous and successful. So... I know that's a long story and maybe not the same as Nakama-chan's story, but I guess what I am trying to say is that it's not important to have a lot of friends; just to have good ones. And they'll help you succeed later on in life.
