In a Field of Paper Flowers (Mayuri Kurotsuchi x OC)

It's not because she can't feel anything. No, she feels the world in a way that he can't comprehend, in bursting, beautiful colors he could never feel himself. His emotions are muted, while hers are an overload.

To him, she's nothing more than another tool at the end of the day.

Yuri Saiki can't ignore the feelings inside her. She thinks of him constantly and just a single glimpse of him gives her the ultimate high, but like with any drug there comes an unbearable withdrawal. Her thoughts constantly stray to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, while her heart happens to turn towards him as well. Compared to other people, Yuri suffers from bursts of emotion much more powerful than most people experience- her world is like a kaleidoscope, the colors ever-shifting in different shapes just as quickly as her emotions. This is Yuri Saiki's heart, one she hides from view.

A simple mistake starts this story.
