As soon as Yayoi has left Ayaka's room, there is a little girl with blonde hair, pink dress, and red boots entering there.

Ayaka: Huh? Who are you?

Lirin: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lirin.

Ayaka: Are you new from here?

Lirin: No, I only came here because I found out your case with Yayoi.

Ayaka: Yeah, what about it?

Lirin: I had that similar case before.

Ayaka can't believe what she just heard as her face goes from sadness to surprise.

Ayaka: What happened?

Lirin: You see, we're not so different, you and I. Both of us are so ambitious that we do criminal acts, show jealousy on someone that is better than us, and because of that, we ended up hurting that person that shows better than us.

As she said it all out, the purple-haired is amazed by that discovery. It makes sense; they're so alike with the following description.

Lirin: Anyway, I heard about your case already so I'll share mine. For me, it's Rukia Kuchiki. She is a shini... sincere girl who has everything even great success. Not to mention the boy I have an interest with: Ichigo Kurosaki. Before you know it, because of the same feeling we possessed, I ended up endangering Rukia just like how you endangered Yayoi.

Ayaka: What did you do to Rukia?

Lirin: I ended up leaving her to fight some dangerous enemies we've been fighting against. Because she's alone at this time, so yeah. Now you know what I've been through, Ayaka.

Ayaka: Lirin, that's horrible.

Lirin: Yeah, just like how you did with Yayoi. I guess that concludes you and I are not so different after all.

Ayaka: I noticed.

Lirin: Well, I got to get going.

The blonde-haired girl steps out near the door.

Ayaka: You know, there's another thing we have in common.

Lirin: Hmm?

Ayaka: Both of us will eventually feel guilty on what we did to those people and wish to make it all up to them.

Lirin: Yeah, now we understand each other's feelings by saying we're so much alike. By the way, Yayoi... Did she said anything before I enter?

Ayaka: She said she wanted to forgive me for trying to injure her.

Lirin: Well, that's good of me to hear that news, Ayaka. I wish Rukia would do the same for me.

Lirin is about to leave when...

Ayaka: Lirin, wait. Thank you.

Lirin: For what?

Ayaka: For telling me about all this. I never thought there is someone who is like me out there. I hope we can meet again someday when we make amends.

Lirin: Yeah, I would say the same thing about you.

The two smiled at each other before Lirin leaves the room. Ayaka could be feeling better with her being told about not being so different from someone.
