A Lens Between Us (Reigen Arataka x FM Reader)

She's a model-a name on casting rosters, a face in campaign reels, but not a headline. Not anymore. Behind the glamour is a past carefully buried: a career that began too young, a manager who drugged and assaulted her under the guise of shaping her for success, and an industry that watched it happen and said nothing. Years later, she walks into Arataka Reigen's office-not for answers, not for healing, just for a place to breathe.

But Reigen sees more than what she says. He's used to fake hauntings and staged possessions, not the kind of trauma that lingers in someone's silence. When a former staff member from her past arrives at his door, revealing the truth piece by piece-rumors, medical records, a flash drive of everything they ignored-Reigen finds himself drawn into something real. Something dangerous.

As the past threatens to resurface, she starts coming back-not just to the spotlight, but to herself. And Reigen, caught somewhere between skepticism and care, realizes he's not just her psychic anymore. He's the only one standing between her and the man who still has power over everything she's trying to reclaim.

This is a slow burn. A quiet unraveling. A story about unspoken trust, survival, and what happens when someone finally listens.
