But when she gives her chocolate, realizing she has no more years to delay, Yuiga realizes this may be the tiny chocolate he found in his desk every year for the last 5 years, Uruka hastily putting it together to hide the complexity so it’d be seen as courtesy chocolate and not true love chocolate, even though it’s clearly the latter
