Even though he gives the least sincere apology in history, shes simply happy he acknowledged her existence.
Miura Kai and the sudden soda shower provide the jolt and motivation Ishimori needs to redouble her efforts.
She arrives at school early, shouts GOOD MORNING just as Miura arrives.

He says Good Morning to her, and after some effort, shes able to say it back.
His looks and popularity lend him a convincing arrogance.
He also has a clique of kind and slightly less flashy friends who keep him in check.

Its a seminal moment for Ishimori, who proceeds to bawl her eyes out.
He also lets Ishimori know that he remembers the day they met on the sidewalk.
What does Miura get for his heroics?

The biggest, most expressive smile hes ever seen emanate from Ishimoris face.
