Pretty sure you could reread the entire season 2 if you are curious. I do remember seeing the other version of Shin in season 2. I remember Shin was having an internal struggle with himself (like he felt conflicted about what he was doing) aside from the drugs/whatever poison it was. Sorry for not explaining well cause I just finished my school semester so my sleep schedule is wacked and dont have much brain power rn.
So shin's whole thing is that he was in a helpless position as a kid and had to suffer a lot bc of the horrible king, but when he found our boy wolfy, he found a way to escape all that and create the world he actually wants to live in. So basically, his motive was really to use Wolfgang to gain power since he knew he himself couldn't be king. Of course, he fell in love and has a strong sense of responsibility, so these motives overwhelmed him with guilt and the evil version of himself was an hallucination that manifested as a result of this guilt and suppressed thoughts/emotions while he was on drugs. And yes, he was addicted for a while there.
I canNOT believe this!!! I actually love these two. The disgruntled TM and the disabled apprentice who wants to make a difference. He's just the one who could make the TM see that while humanity is a shit show, there are also some good and pure aspects, even if they are a little dysfunctional.
And this plot twist...I was genuinely surprised just like you all. I love when we read something as long as this series, that can still give us plot twists and surprises even at it being the third season. This story is AMAZING!!!! I'm so in love with it!!

I have a couple questions about Shin. Why was he seeing another version of himself? Like an evil version that was talking to him. This was in the second season and I don't remember the chapter but I can look for it if you need me to. Also, was Shin addicted to drugs too during this time?
If you are willing to help me with this, I can go back and find what chapters I'm talking about if you need me to clarify. Thank you!!!
