I wouldn’t say this is too out of character for Jekyll to be rambling like this. He did this once before when Jekyll and mind!Lanyon saw the nightmare creatures in the mindscape. I think it would be appropriate for Jekyll to be irrational, after all his “evil” just hijacked his body for an entire night and Jekyll just woke up to find this out. Also call back to that scene in chapter 2. Jekyll is very venerable right now so why wouldn’t Hyde create hallucinations to shut him up.
Also sorry for no page yesterday, I was busy. I’ll try to finish the last two pages by tomorrow so stay tuned!

I mean, Hyde has a point; he could have done all of that if he really wanted to.
So remember how I was complaining about backgrounds? I miss them, it looks better with backgrounds. The last page will have them again so that’s good. Anyways I’m happy with the way the expressions turned out on this page. I’ll try to finish the last one later tonight so look out for that! If not then it’ll be done by tomorrow!
I know this scene is played off for laughs (and knowing what happens in the comic this is really funny) but I can’t imagine how terrifying this must have been for Jekyll.
This took place right after the first transformation. Jekyll had just lost control of his entire being and believes that he split his soul in two making this his “evil side.” Rachel is one of Jekyll’s closest friends, so I can’t imagine the fear Jekyll must have felt helplessly watching what he assumes is his “evil side” talk to her, not knowing what he will do. Thankfully, we know Hyde had no bad intentions and even befriended Rachel, but it’s still a terrifying scene when you think about it.
Time for me to do a deep dive analysis of the new cover
Starting with Jekyll and Hyde, Jekyll is wearing his old design clothing from paraphernalia and Hyde is dressed up in fancy clothes I’ve never seen him in and will most likely see Hyde in this outfit later in this chapter. I want to mention this parallel
It seems like it’s Jekyll’s turn to take Hyde down with him. And I want to point out Hydes expression, he’s scared, shocked, and even worried while Jekyll just smiles at him with his hair covering his eyes. We don’t know if Jekyll’s eye are angry, scared, or even crying and it doesn’t matter because no matter what he is feeling, it’s safe to say Jekyll is not okay.
Now the background. There is an obvious lighthouse in the water but I was unable to see if this lighthouse was based off of a real place or not. The cliffs behind Hyde has cracks in it but on Jekyll’s side it’s just a bunch of water which brings me to my theory: The place Jekyll and Hyde are in is a memory in the mindscape. Maybe a place from their childhood or teenage years which explains why Jekyll is wearing his old clothing. Jekyll’s mind has already been breaking apart as said by Hyde in the previous chapter, but now Hydes mind is beginning to crack and fall apart which mirrors their lack of control over their transformations that has been happening in the real world.
What I think will happen is that after they transform in front of Frankenstein, Jekyll will sort of snap. Not in an angry way but in an “well it’s over now” sort of mentality. Because now that Frankenstein knows he is Hyde, Jekyll lost the last thing he had in his eyes. His reputation. Sure, Frankenstein never respected Jekyll and saw right through him but to Jekyll that didn’t matter because Frankenstein never got the full story but now she does. And with her knowing comes the threat of her telling other people which will destroy his reputation. It’s over for Jekyll and it’s all Hyde’s fault. If Hyde hadn’t transformed right in front of Frankenstein, nothing would be lost. So now that Jekyll has lost everything, he will make sure Hyde loses everything just as well. Jekyll is going to take Hyde down with him.
