To me, nothing would go back to how it was the moment Henry knocked on her door. Soon as they were introduced, there was no turning back to a world where Emma doesn’t exist in Henry’s life. Even if all Emma ever did was say “Go home kid” and shut the door on him… he would still have met his birth mother. And she would have seen her son. And it’s easier to say walk away from that than to actually do so.
I agree!
I like the conversations she and Snow has about her being the savior a hero to Henry and that, that is a wall she is building up. She wants him to see her that way because she don’t know how to be anything else to him, and he already has a mother so she don’t know how to be that to him, she really isn’t butting in on that department.
But she have to put this ‘badge’ on herself as the ‘hero’ or this wall, and that is keeping her from getting too close to Henry, because it scares her probably. Throughout the first season we saw her start out completely at arms length, calling him that kid to saying she loves him.
The ‘hero wall’ is a deffence thing that she’s had since childhood I think, she had to take care of herself, and she couldn’t find her own lost loved ones so she became a private detective(or what ever the title is) and helped others find the people that they lost.
Very nice and beautifull story I think.
