The first time Fujimiya Aya set foot in the Koneko no Sume Ie, the employees of the flowershop were all shocked. Shocked because Ran- cold, fiercely protective Ran had actually consented to introduce his precious sister to them, and touched, because it meant that he thought highly enough of them to do so. Aya-chan took to the flowershop and its occupants almost immediately, cooing over sunflowers and flitting about the shop in innocent delight. With her sparkling energy and endless smiles, it was easy to see why her brother had loved her so much. Aya-chan loved with all her heart, and it was hard even for the coldest person not to melt under her warmth. Omi, Youji and Ken liked her on sight. Particularly Ken, who hit it off with her almost immediately, talking like they had been old friends.
