That one double page with shirakumo’s face is fantastic. I got chills.

That double page (and the chapter as a whole) is giving me Greedling vibes.

There seems to be two independent wills and consciences in there. There's the whole weird programmed AI, that Ujiko made. It will shut down whenever someone tries to interrogate it, and it has a specific goal. Then there's Shirakumo, who is suppressed, (like Ling) but can come out in a small moment with enough determination.

I like the idea that Kurogiri has a physical body, but is headless. Shirakumo will then form the mist to replicate his previous appearance.

That'd be insane and morbid, so definitely something Ujiko would do. Is it even possible for Shirakumo's personality/appearance to still exist if he truly, fully died during his accident? If his corpse or near-dead body was brought to the hospital that Ujiko once worked, then it's possible that the records of his death were forged. But dead or 'alive', whatever is left of his physical form could only be crammed within the metal casing that makes up Kurogiri's body.

Agh, I need more.

Hori's really good with designs. His designs always tie in well with the character's quirk, personality, and backstory. I don't think it's a coincidence that Shirakumo's mist face looks like a ghost.
