What makes someone a true friend? Is it the jokes, the help, or the quiet moments when they simply notice how you feel? In Sochu: You’ve Got a Friend, the gang discovers that friendship isn’t always about fun—sometimes, it's about noticing, asking, and showing up for one another. From a quiet Mr. Williams to a messy neighborhood street, this story reminds us that small acts of care create big ripples of connection.
