Confrontation (Jimmy Hall vs Hugo Punch)

A yes
mixing a horror game with a villain seemingly having a split personality
with a musical about an antagonist and protagonist being one in the same
sue me

Also, HEAVY SPOILER WARNING

Sooooo yeah, the one thing that stood out to me about "At Dead of Night" was how Jimmy as an antagonist is more complicated than his original impression of a bald guy running around a hotel and bonking Maya in the head. It's revealed through Rose's backstory (Rose being Jimmy's mother) that Jimmy was abused by his father since he was born til when he was two years old when Rose murdered Hugo Hall to try and protect Jimmy. However, all this trauma left Jimmy broken and then pocessed by the evil spirit of his father.
This especially being pointed out in the ending cutscene, where the two halves of Jimmy communicate; as Jimmy begs Hugo Punch to stop all the violence and cruelty while his evil side taunts him, saying how Jimmy can stop him and that Hugo will always be in charge. It's honestly quite sad seeing Jimmy curled up in the hall, crying and in fear. It's what got me to sympathise with him... Not having control of your emotions and seemingly having an evil side based on trauma...

But this is when I remembered the climatic song from the musical adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde called "Confrontation"; where Jekyll confronts his evil side to try and get him to stop his evil ways. The scenario just felt perfect for this video game and character, so I drew this!
Jimmy trying to confront his evil side as he does try in both the intro and ending cutscenes which are the only times we see Jimmy Hall's true identity; but his evil side Hugo Punch has more power and slowly starts overpowering him, making Jimmy crack and break down in tears. The lyrics seen on the pic are from the climax of the song, as Jekyll starts loosing the battle and Hyde starts taking over...
