They were already "playing" lovers (Sheryl's words), so it would be the circumstances surrounding them that forced her to end it (to Alto's protests).
<sigh> I knew I should have added an "in the romantic aspect of her life" somewhere to my post. Yeah, of course Sheryl also had other motivations, I was however comparing her feelings in the romantic aspect to Altos, so I left out all the selfless "sacrifice myself for Frontier" stuff.

And, yes, I think the aspect of "pity or not" fundamentally goes back to the romance aspect of the show.
