Summary
Red. That was the first thing Subject Two had become aware of. A sickly pulsing red to match the foul energy that permeated his surroundings. He could not tell if the red was in his mind, or reality. Later, he decided it was both. He felt it pulling on him. Taking him away from the all-encompassing nothingness that had become his home. It wasn’t until a while later he became aware of the ground beneath him. Of the feeling of gravity pulling against his body. Of a cold draft against his bare skin despite the ambient warmth. He could feel these things. They were actual sensations, felt by a physical body. But he no longer had a physical body. Durin had long since taken that from him, leaving him to drift in some unknown space beyond the passage of time and comprehension of what remained of his consciousness. A dark and swirling limbo from which he could never escape. Or… evidently he could.

Subject Two/Imposter Albedo's character arc of learning to overcome the past and live to be his own person.

Summary
Albedo continued following the trail through the forest until at last the object of his search came into view. A cloaked individual was standing alone near a small pond. Though their back was turned, Albedo thought he saw them tuck something away. He tried to get closer without alerting the other person, but the snapping of a stray branch caused them to whirl around.
Albedo sucked in a breath.
The individual appeared to be a life-like doll. An animate plaything like the rest of Simulanka's inhabitants. The person that the doll was modeled after, however, was undoubtedly Subject Two.- - -
In the real world, Albedo had been forced to kill his brother during their confrontation that followed the fellflower incident. After entering Simulanka and meeting Mini Durin however, Albedo is left wondering if the storybook world has its own version of Subject Two as well. With the hope of another chance to make peace with his brother, or at the very least to gain a better understanding of him, Albedo sets out to discover how closely the fate of Simulanka's inhabitants mirror the real world.
