Rather than reincarnation, I believe Albie is a manifestation of Ardens wishes, wherein he has his own individual memory but his feelings are of Arden. Definitely freakier than Arden was because what the fuck are those freak eyes dawg.
Another, the David guy who had that diary inside Asha's library that Albie read is definitely that red haired guy at the last pannel, I have a suspicion that he's a human turned into a vampire—considering that his mom talked about how "those monsters ruined their lives", definitely has a connection with them becoming into one, and eventually killing others during so.
