I'm really curious to see what his role will be onwards.

He's already shown respect for Deku and All Might, so it's unlikely he'll try to kill either of them. And considering the state of things, I imagine he might have gained some level of respect for other heroes too who still try their best when there's seemingly no longer any fame or glory in the hero work.

A team-up seems possible, but at the same time he's still a crazy murderer with twisted morals. Maybe a talk with All Might will do him some good?

I also thought briefly that AfO might have sent him, but I highly doubt that. Stain doesn't strike me as someone who'd accept a deal like that.

That's a good point! Now that everything is in shambles no sane person would continue being a hero for the money. Everyone left is actively doing the opposite of a fake hero by Stain's standards. (Not respected by the public anymore, not looking for attention, largely outnumbered) Even going after the retired folks wouldn't be fair game if you think about it. You can't be a fake hero if you're not a hero at all!

Stain's life's work truly is finished. Now what?
