Cherri was the only light Angel had in his life for years. Nobody else was there for him.
That's why I wish his friendship with her got as much focus as Husk's ngl. Their relationship is important too, but Cherri is probably the reason he didn't break completely.
I really hope S3 of Hazbin Hotel doesn't try to brush the fact #SirPentious still lost his friends under the rug. I need this man to yearn for more than just Cherri. I need him to miss Husk, and Angel, and Niffty, and CHARLIE.
