Back at the present, Yes Hyde wants to have a family and Jekyll wants to do his job, Hyde and Jekyll want to be happy; Both Jekyll and Hyde learned that the life they had caused them to be in this situation, With the lesson they learned they want to start over. However, life on the streets was punishing their shady ponies around; Hyde can be brave however he is still fearful due to the potential of being found as well as getting hurt which caused him to stay quiet along with Jekyll; so they end up talking slowly. Also, Those ponies tricked Hyde into thinking they're police around, therefore Hyde gave up his food.
They're with our gang now, Jekyll may trust them or rather be willing to trust them, Hyde does not, knowing what he went through it's understandable; despite the fact, Jekyll hurt him, Hyde forgave Jekyll also sees him as a friend as well as a brother, Jekyll is the only pony he trusts.
If you saw a single artwork abut Hyde meeting a girl, then breaking up with her? That was him trying to start a better life, Hyde was nervous, nevertheless, he was willing to put that aside to talk to her, Sadly after some time; it ended badly, the girl broke up with him and wrecked Hyde's heart; in time he got over it then let go, It's one of the many hardships Hyde went through. Now he's with a group who knows who he is, Could hurt him if he's not able to do the task, or even call the police. Pretty much his mind is full of fear along with the potential danger; Well, I think I explained enough. You can see it in the comic, I got to write down the rest, therefore I know what to do, I already wrote down how things work out, even now I must work on the next comic pages; perhaps I'll implement a montage sequence.
