I predict that Husk might have guilt over not saving Alastor and this drives him back to drinking. Husk doesn't know that Alastor is injured, so he and Niffty show up to this fight with the Vees thinking it's just some more turf war nonsense, only for Alastor to sacrifice himself for them. We see Husk use his powers, but not to his full potential, so he may feel guilty that he didn't do more to help his friend. This would also mark the second time that Husk has tried to help Al, only for him to either be ignored or rescued. We still don't know why Al was kind enough to let Husk keep his overlord powers.

I think it's Vox/Val woobifiers who want Al ti be evil to excuse their fave's behavior. This includes Viv. She knows she's created characters that are objectively shit people, so now she's stuck trying to make them into uwu babies to excuse that.
