In the 15th episode of "The Dangers in My Heart," the plot revolves around Valentine's Day. The episode begins with the girls, including Yamada, planning to make chocolates together. Yamada suggests her house as the venue and invites Ichikawa. However, when Ichikawa arrives at Yamada's place and runs into Serina and Chihiro outside, he pretends he just happened to be passing by. Moeko, his assistant, shows up and convinces him to join the group.
Upon their arrival, they are greeted at the door by Yamada's mother. She is uneasy when she sees Ichikawa, a boy, among the girls. Moeko quickly improvises and claims Ichikawa is her boyfriend, which seems to satisfy Yamada's mother. Yamada herself appears less pleased with this development. The chocolate-making session proceeds somewhat tensely, not only because of Yamada's mother's presence but also due to the awkwardness of Moeko's ruse.
During the session, Serina expresses her discomfort by clearly opposing the fake relationship between Moeko and Ichikawa. Ichikawa, believing his presence is the cause of the discomfort, decides to discreetly leave the gathering. On his way out, he confesses to Yamada's mother that he is not actually Moeko's boyfriend. This revelation leads Yamada's mother to recognize Ichikawa as the boy her daughter often talks about, and she invites him back inside.
Then, Yamada's father appears, who looks like a larger version of Ichikawa. Ichikawa and Yamada's father bond over their shared interest in games. In a surprising turn of events, Yamada ends up playing a video game against her father while Ichikawa is surrounded by the Yamada family.
After the chocolates are finished, Yamada shares a private moment with Ichikawa behind the curtain and offers him a special chocolate she made herself. Ichikawa tries it and finds it very sweet. Yamada is visibly delighted to have participated in this gathering.
Later that evening, Ichikawa tells Yamada in a phone call about his positive impressions of her parents. Yamada responds that her father mistakenly assumes Ichikawa's last name is Yamada due to an earlier misunderstanding.
The episode also sheds light on Ichikawa's relationship with his sister, Kana. She observes the progress he has made in his social interactions and teases him about having a harem. In an open conversation, Ichikawa expresses his uncertainty about his feelings for Yamada and his prospects of a relationship with her. Kana encourages him to follow his true desires, prompting Ichikawa to commit to wanting to be Yamada's boyfriend.
The episode ends with Ichikawa taking a bold step. When Yamada mentions distributing chocolates to other boys, Ichikawa stops her, saying she doesn't need to worry about others.
