I don't know about you guys, but for me, the designs of the Nightmare versions of Jack and Kayla are PEAK.
Wounds and darkness have always been part of Jack. Could the chains symbolize the powerlessness he feels, both in the face of his weakness and his curse? With Kayla, it's more complex. We don't know much about her, but she seems to have a lot to do with a twisted version of beauty. Although she's not superficial, perhaps she feels or was diminished by her appearance despite not being ugly? We know she has a rather superficial nemesis, so that could make sense. I don't know what the Zill doll signifies. Perhaps she feels like she's binding Zill or something? Also, the fact that she has a whip and wears those clothes could signify self-shame? She's religious, and in religion, it's common to fear your sins. Could she have strange tastes and feel like a degenerate for something as simple as an intrusive thought or an idea that crossed her mind? The doll theme can be interpreted in many ways. What do you think? It would also be funny if Nightmare Zill was the little doll and all the Nightmares treated him as an equal without him seeming to be alive; it would be like the absence of Evil Gangle in TADC
