The two morphisms λ_ (𝟙_ C)
and ρ_ (𝟙_ C)
from 𝟙_ C ⊗ 𝟙_ C
to 𝟙_ C
are equal.
This is suprisingly difficult to prove directly from the usual axioms for a monoidal category!
This proof follows the diagram given at https://people.math.osu.edu/penneys.2/QS2019/VicaryHandout.pdf
It should be a consequence of the coherence theorem for monoidal categories (although quite possibly it is a necessary building block of any proof).
