The fact that Neal was so easily convinced by what was in August’s box, makes me think ‘Neal’ is from FTL, and only 3 ppl made it out of FTL before the Dark Curse…August, Emma and Bae.
If Bae is Neal, then there is a good chance he also Peter Pan….there are just way too many clues connecting Neal and PP.
Well, by the looks of it, there are definitely more than 3. We know there is a whole section in FTL that was untouched, that had Hook and Cora. And, it’s possible that there are FTL creatures we have yet to meet that could have made their way to our world. Jefferson did question Emma on “where did those stories come from” and our stories of Snow White, and evil witches, Mulan and such. It’s because we’ve had FTL people here for a long time. Possibly for centuries, and maybe even millenia.
