Reply To: Henry's Adoption

The fact that the Darling brothers tried to “adopt” Henry makes me wonder if they were after Henry’s heart before he even came of age. I’d been working under the assumption that Peter Pan was behind the Dark Curse because he wanted Henry to be the only boy who grew up in a town where no one ages, which led him to believing in the curse and in Emma as the savior, thereby making him into the truest believer. But now it seems like Peter Pan wanted baby Henry, which suggests that being born of light and dark magic is what makes Henry the truest believer, not his environment, as I’d assumed. So, Henry was born with the heart of the truest believer, which in turn, allowed him to so easily believe the dark curse was real and that Emma was destined to save everybody.
