    Summary

    Izuku had heard of the uncanny valley.

    Two words, meant to summarize a vast feeling of insurmountable description.

    The uncanny valley, at its core, was an instinctual feeling of wrongness humans experienced when seeing something non-human with human characteristics. Birds with mocking capabilities or emotionally intelligent AI could trigger it, or even other humans that were sick or dying.

    Izuku thinks there’s something more. When he looks in the mirror, he can see that the body in his reflection is identical to his own.
    When his reflection touches his face, he feels the caress on his own skin. When Izuku moves his arm, the reflection copies him.

    The reflection is real, yet it is not. It couldn't exist unless Izuku himself was there to give it life, to give it something to copy.
    If Izuku shattered that mirror, his reflection would cease to exist, erased.
    But it wouldn’t erase the feeling that Izuku got when he looked into the eyes of his own reflection.

    The uncanny valley was an instinctive response when seeing something non-human that was trying very desperately to pretend that it was.

    When Izuku looked in the mirror, all he saw was a ghoul.
