    Neil Josten isn't anything. Not a real person, and not an alpha, beta, or omega, either.

    He's mostly just trying to stay alive.

    Summary

    'To say that Michael was in control of his own mind would be wholly, and fundamentally, untrue.

    It would make sense, in hindsight, for him not to be, with its nature being what it is – but it is not lack of control the Distortion craves. It is confusion and madness it wants, and maybe, just maybe, Michael’s very existence is nothing more than a pathetic ouroboros slowly feeding on itself in a perpetual cycle of undeserved misery and rightful retribution.'

    An analysis of Michael — its existence, its tragedy and its becoming.
