Makoto smiled when Phoebe, in such a caring manner, gave her a hug. It definitely helped her feel more at ease, and it confirmed that she had at least one new friend. Makoto decided she would try her best, even if it was not to the same skill as the rest of her group. She took a position on the far right of the group. It would be easy for her to fade into the background a bit that way and maybe sort out a kind of strike that she could make. She did want to contribute to the group, despite her hesitancy/fear to use her powers.
