Hollow Smiles and Ink-stained deceptions | MHA x Reader

Paranoia festers like ink beneath Kumori's skin, staining her thoughts, twisting her reality into something she can no longer trust. Sent to U.A. under Shigaraki's command, she is a shadow lurking among heroes, a liar in their midst, an infiltrator with bloodstained hands and a mind unraveling at the seams. The whispers never stop. The hallucinations claw at her sanity. She knows she should only find solace in Shigaraki, the only one who understands the rot inside her mind-so why does she falter when a hero-in-training reaches out to her?

Affection was never meant to be part of the mission. Attachment is dangerous. Love is a weakness she cannot afford. But as the ink of her deception spreads, suffocating her deeper into a nightmare of her own making, she is left with a terrifying realization-what if she's not the one manipulating them? What if she's the one being drawn into the light?
