In Oshi no Ko chapter 132, titled Nino, the story begins with the film shooting of "15-Year Lie." This part of the film focuses on Nino and Takamine's feelings toward Ai. Their resentment towards her is very evident during and after their performance, as both idols notice how Ai manages to pull the crowd away from them.
The actual Takamine and Nino showed up at the film shoot to witness the story unfold, providing input to the actresses playing their roles, Akane and Kana. Meanwhile, Aqua was shocked that Ruby wasn't enamored with the former B-Komachii members, revealing her preference for newer members like Meimei and Kyunpan.

Conversely, Kana Arima opted to seek counsel from Nino because she refused to be outdone by Akane. Witnessing Kana's rivalry with Akane, Nino remarked that they never faced such challenges in B-Komachii, as no one could outshine Ai. Nevertheless, it was still a deeply distressing ordeal.
Right after that, Kana inquired Nino about her feelings towards Ai. This question triggered Nino, revealing signs of a conflicted persona. She confessed to both loving and hating Ai, even wishing for her to go to hell. Unfortunately, Ai eventually passed away.

Nino appeared to regret her actions, and Ruby attempted to console her by mimicking Ai's forgiving nature. Unfortunately, this only seemed to escalate the situation, leading Nino to act even more irrationally. She expressed that Ruby's attempts to emulate Ai fell short, and it seemed as though she was pleased to have discovered Ruby's lack of talent compared to Ai. Immediately after, Nino left the area.
Ruby and Kana were perplexed by Nino's behavior, and as they tried to make sense of it, they observed her making a phone call in an alleyway. She described Ai as truly unique, even noting that her own daughter couldn't replicate her. Nino then expressed a vehement unwillingness to forgive anyone who surpassed Ai, not even her own daughter. It was then revealed in the manga that Nino was speaking to Hikaru Kamiki, Ai's murderer.
