“You hear that too?” the lost boy asked in an effort to casually grab the blonde’s attention. Pan knew very well that she could. What other reasoning could there be for her to wander off into the Neverland jungle deep into the night.
“You’re Emma, right?” he asked, attempting to sound genuinely curious despite clearly knowing who she was--the so-called Savior. Pan looked her up and down, sizing up the woman before him against his expectations.
“I wonder why they can’t hear the crying,” he pushed further. The lost boy already knew why. The others weren't like Emma. They didn’t grow up feeling lost, lonely or unloved. Emma was different in a way that her parents could never fully understand and Pan intended to force her to come to terms with it.
I wish he remembered you. You guys were friends before and he could use some friends now. And I’m afraid it is true. Someone cast a curse and I don’t think it was Regina. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, Grace. You’re safe and I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you, your dad, or anyone in this town.
Thanks, Emma. We really appreciate everything you do for us. I know it’s not easy having to be the Savior all the time but you’ll always be our friend first and we’re here for you too. I know Henry doesn’t remember me but he’s always welcomed to hang out. Maybe go out for ice cream or something. Does he still like chocolate?
Yeah, I do. Thanks to Hook. It’s been a long time because it was full year since I’ve been back, but for you guys it probably felt like a blink of an eye. I have no idea why someone would wand to cast another curse. If you remember anything or have any idea who could be behind this, please tell me. It’s good to see you as well.
And I’ve been... okay, I guess. I almost got engaged to a flying monkey, so that’s been fun to process. Henry still doesn’t remember. I’m not sure what I’m going to tell Neal about his son not recognizing him.
I’ll definitely keep you updated if I find anything. I know Blue and the rest of the fairies are trying to investigate it as well. They’re set on Regina being the one who did it but they won’t listen to me when I told them that it was impossible. I mean why would she cast a curse to get back to Henry when he has no memory of her? It just doesn’t make sense.
Yikes to the almost flying monkey fiance. I haven’t seen Bae... or Neal around. Apparently a lot of other people have been missing but he has to be here somewhere. I don’t think he would go missing without putting up a fight. He’s a resilient one, that guy.
What does Henry think of the town? I’ve heard what New York was like so I’m sure this place is a big change for him.

Stop lying to Henry. You don't want his heart to save magic! You want it to save yourself. You don't care about him and if you convince him to do this, you're going to have more than a pissed off mother to worry about.
It's a pleasure to see you too, Savior. Dishonesty is a nasty habit, but hypocrisy is an even nastier one. I seem to recall you lying to Henry about the whereabouts of his own father--well, you see my point.
The heart of the truest believer will fulfill it's destiny and it will be at Henry's hand. I assure you that. If you were wise, you'd watch your threats. Given the current situation, you'll be lucky if you make it off the island alive.
