Shiba Kaien could charm a flower into opening in winter. Though he seems to come by the talent naturally, which is better than some can say. Miyako is not fond of those who manipulate others by way of deliberate, ingratiating charm.

She likes him against her better judgement. He is very open and blatant about his zest for life and his love of family. His smile always manages to tug a matching expression to her lips. His good-natured cheer is infectious.

That's what decides it for her when he earnestly asks for a date. Miyako could use more cheer in her life.
