History TearJerker / OshiNoKo

--->'''Ruby''': ''So Ai Hoshino is just a weak, lonely girl after all?''

* Chapter 133 has Kana start mistreating Ruby by not only yelling at her, but also ignoring her. She even talks badly about Ruby behind her back. Although this was initially to help Ruby understand her mother's feelings better, this eventually causes Kana to eventually develop a true hatred for Ruby. Fortunately, the two are able to resolve the issue by a few chapters in, with Ruby claiming she's different from her mother, and tells Kana to be more honest and talk to her if there're any problems instead of bottle them up.
* In chapter 134 Ruby comes to the realization that despite how much everyone around her claims that her mother Ai was an unflappable rock who could bear the weight of hate and jealousy from the people around her with a perfect smile, in reality it most likely hurt her to the point of bringing her to tears but she kept up the facade until she was alone.

* Chapter 131 finally has Ai's mother show up in person. As it turns out, she only mistreated her daughter because her fiance was starting to fall for ''her'' instead of herself. She also revealed that she only abandoned Ai because she was too scared that she would abuse her daughter again, and is openly regretful about how she treated her, still mourning her loss as much as her associates and children even decades after her death.

* Chapter 122 brings the twins back together after numerous chapters of estrangement, with Aqua openly saying that he's begging Ruby not to go down a path of revenge like him, knowing he can [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy give her the truth]] [[ActuallyIAmHim she would want to know]], and the end sees both of them crying into each other's arms as they finally realize who each other is.

** On Sarina's end, Goro became her FirstLove due to his kind and caring nature, and she wished to become an idol so he could become her fan, which she couldn't achieve due to her illness and early death. After reincarnating as Ruby, she opts to become an idol and [[IWillFindYou locate]] Goro once she's famous, unaware that he died shortly before her rebirth and is now her twin Aqua. [[BreakTheCutie She eventually finds out about the first part]], and takes it ''very'' poorly. Only finding out the second part [[TraumaCongaLine right when she needed]] [[ThrowTheDogABone something like it]].

* [[PlotTriggeringDeath Ai's death]]. It sets the tone of the remainder of the story, and leaves significant psychological impact on her loved ones and fans, especially her twin children who [[ForcedToWatch witness her final moments and death]].

** Ai's death affects not only the twins, but also her manager and ParentalSubstitute Ichigo. Her death causes him to [[GriefInducedSplit leave]] his wife and adopted children and [[DrowningMySorrows start drinking]] for the next twelve years.
* Akane's attempted suicide. After accidentally hurting Yuki's face on-camera, fans of ''My Love'' start harassing her online and at school, driving her into a corner and causing her already-present self-loathing to worsen. It eventually becomes so bad that in her despair, she decides to end it all and jump off of a bridge into traffic, [[InterruptedSuicide only for Aqua to appear and pull her back]]. Shortly after, she breaks down crying in the police station, admitting to her mother that she couldn't tell her about her backlash because she didn't want to worry her.
* Sarina Tendouji's mother's appearance. A seething Aqua recognizes her and he's barely able to hold himself when talking about the topic of family with her, when he sees a picture of her happy family (consisting of two children and her husband but no mementos or pictures of Sarina) he thinks how Sarina's life was hell. In a way, it's that Sarina was lonely and sad with no one but Goro to see her in the hospital while her mother basically had or showed no care for her and moved on and had two healthy children she loves.

* The Movie arc continues to torture the living daylights out of Ruby's soul as she finally meets her past life's mother face-to-face in Chapter 121. Overwhelmed with nothing but grief as she sees Marina interact with her new children, something she never had in her past life as Sarina, Ruby comes to believe herself to bring misfortune to those who interact with her. This chapter ends with Ruby breaking down over why she was reincarnated, while Aqua [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay watches from the background in silence]].

** To boot, when we see Ruby trying to practice on the mom part, Kana lectures her on what she should do to gain the effect by telling her to emulate the feeling of a stranger who isn't loved by their mother and Ruby has dead eyes as she notes every mother would actually love their children deeply and it's wrong to think they did not love you. It clearly shows the pain, hurt, and sadness she had in her past life when her parents didn't bother to visit her in the hospital.

** It's only in her final moments that Ai [[BecomingTheMask realizes]] that she's truly grown to love her children, [[SoProudOfYou praising Ruby for her dancing]] the other day and [[GoOutWithASmile smiling at Aqua]] before expiring.

* Goro's reasons for becoming a fan of Ai: his patient Sarina [[Fangirl idolized]] Ai and introduced him to her videos before [[DeathOfAChild dying to cancer]]. While PlayedForLaughs with his assistant accusing him of [[MistakenForPedophile ogling]] Ai, Goro still remembers and mourns Sarina four years after her death, and even after he is reincarnated into Aqua.
