In Episode 11 of "Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror," Yohane struggles with a complex mix of emotions, primarily stemming from the continuation of a calamity she believed she could stop. Initially, she thought her festival performance would be the prophesied "resonance" to halt the disaster. Yet, the chaos worsens, plunging her into a spiral of self-doubt and regret.
Yohane's struggle is further compounded by her pursuit of individuality. She longs to be something special, a desire that may stem from her Chuunibyou tendencies, as seen in "Love Live! Sunshine!!" She is tormented by the idea that everyone around her possesses a special talent or calling, while she is still searching for her own.
Interestingly, her magical companion, Lailaps, brings a nuanced understanding of Yohane's magic and her staff. When Yohane throws away her staff, deeming it and herself insignificant, Lailaps retrieves it from the river. This gesture suggests that Lailaps views the staff as an extension of Yohane's own magic and perhaps believes Yohane is pivotal to resolving the calamity.
