It's the power of friendship. Again.
I mean...yeah? This chapter literally summarizes the main character's hero name and the title of the series. The whole point is that she's a shy person, someone that feels like she can't reach out for help, but she's learning how to do so as the series progresses and her character develops.
An entirely realistic point to a lot of narratives like this, and more specifically the friendship narrative, is that we rely on people in major ways because it's impossible for a single person to be good at everything, and we commonly seek emotional support from like minded people and communities. We rely on people we don't even know to transport our food, water, and so fourth. Humans being stubborn and trying to do everything themselves is very common, but entirely foolish. I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but I think it's a pretty tried and true narrative.
Edit: From what I remember "relying on other people and the power of emotions" has been a central part of the narrative since the very start. The series isn't trying to reinvent the wheel but instead focuses on making something entertaining out of familiar concepts. Another thing with Shy is that she's learning even super heroes need help from other people.
