I'm calling bullshit on this HARD.
"The reason this whole arc happened was because Kaguya had finally realized that there was actual feelings in the relationship between her and Miyuki."
This arc happened, because Aka retconned Kaguya into knowing that Miyuki was "hiding his true self" from her. Don't believe me? Go back a couple chapters, to where Kaguya was telling Hayasaca that she's in her Ice personality, because she wanted to show him her "true self," so he would do the same. Note that this happens the chapter AFTER she finds out he was hiding his "true self". Her second-guessing her confession was just pre-confession paranoia. It happens to a lot of people.
"This last arc has made it clear that the two never needed any kind of mask to get the other to like them"
This is probably the most untrue statement I've ever heard, regarding this series. Kaguya is the only one who never needed a mask (which is ironic, considering her "true self" is an angry, violent bitch, until Aka decided she wouldn't for literally no goddamn reason at all). Until Miyuki put his mask on, Kaguya wouldn't even recognize him as a person. She refused to acknowledge his existence, until he put on his mask to beat her school-wide test score. She also proved this in the Hayasaca chapter, where she didn't even know that they met when Miyuki fell in love with her.
"so she also wanted to prove that she can love Miyuki for who he truly was too"
Which is also a blatant lie, from Kaguya. Miyuki has let his "hard worker" mask slip numerous times before and she HATED it. She literally became completely unattracted to him, when he finally got a good night's sleep, which his insomnia was a result of him overworking himself (his mask).
This whole goddamn arc was absolute clusterfuck of contrived bullshit and horribly written. Do you know how I know it's horribly written? Because this whole arc could have been summarized with a single sentence Kaguya could have said to Miyuki, once they started dating:
"Hey, how about we be completely honest with each other, from here on out?"
That's it. That's all this arc accomplished.
