Why do Run-on sentences feel so right?

Here's an example.

Quote:
There was nothing friendly about her, she contained no softness, so why was she trying to help?
I think the first two parts of the sentence should contain a connector (And), but it feels right as it is. The comma could be replaced with a semi-colon, but...

What feels right? Should the first comma be replaced with a stop or a semi-colon. Should an And be inserted?

Never mind what the grammar books say. What feels right to you? Perhaps I'm not seeing the grammar that allows this, or perhaps I'm too close to see that it sounds wrong.
