Agreed. I think the more reasonable answer is that without his heart, Hook gives even less of a *bleep* about what the kid has to say. Maybe with his heart in his chest, Hook may have actually given Henry’s statement some thought, but without it it meant less than nothing to him because he does take bathes v.v even with his heart, im sure Hook wouldn’t have cared still
