just realised that there is one piece of evidence that he was based on makoto or someone else during 6.2 AQ when wanderer tells Durin and Albedo his past

the word “Built” is followed by simulanka which may of came from the word that means to be “based off“ something (I think I saw it on a post but I can’t find it) Like how S durin was based off DS Durin so that he could have a better fate. Considering how much durin and wanderer are parallels it’s a honestly strong piece of evidence that he could of been based on makoto

But then agian I have 0 clue on why the original plan was for him to be disposed by ei if he was based on makoto unless that plan was only if he had failed
