Would he even have to separate, or could he switch between both with the same body? I had thought about him doing that, but I hadn’t expressed in on the forum. If he did I wonder if the ‘evil’ Rumple would still have enough light in him to let go and let Belle have the ‘good’ Rumple, thought considering he think Belle loves all parts of him, he might think it won’t last, plus we already basically saw that in 5A. That is, we saw Rumple wiped of all darkness with a fresh-new-blank-state heart or something 🙂
