I wonder how he did grow up.
I’d love it if we got to see that story in a future season. I’ll bet he had a rough upbringing, just like Emma did.

It’s somehow sad, given how innocent and good willing he was as a 7-year-old. The way he tried to stop Emma from crying or repairing her craddle … He probably thought the adults could take care of Emma better than him. And seriously, you can’t expect to have such a young boy to truly understand the seriousness and importance of having Emma grow up and believe in FTL and her destiny.
It was a huge burden to put on the kid. I get why Geppetto sent him away, thinking it’d be for the best in the long run, but poor Pinocchio. After the August/Gold scenes in The Return where Mr Gold was asking for his son’s forgiveness, I took August’s angst to be partly because he wished his own father could say the same to him. Now that we’ve seen the situation Geppetto put him in, I believe that even more.
