Here’s the thing: Hook’s the adult. Hook should act like it. Teens are moody and Bae has literally been through more in his short life than most people experience over several lifetimes. We’re back to Hook’s emotional age and his sensitivity. Bae won’t play by Hook’s rules, so Hook sells his “son” to Pan. I mean, I got angry with my mom a lot when I was a teen. She didn’t kick me out of the house or give me up for adoption. And in this case, Hook feeling bad means nothing to me when Bae was sleeping in a cave, drawing pictures of home and hand letting him go by coconut-light, feeling rejected, alone, abandoned for 100+ years.
Didn’t Pan have something over him though? Or did Pan say he would let Hook leave or something. I remember thinking although Bae acted out, Hook sort of reluctantly did it to help himself and free him from Neverland. Selfish yes. But at least it wasn’t just because of a teen rebellious moment. But again, my memory is pretty foggy around this timeline for some reason.
