And I agree, Midnight Dreary, Rumpel has already lost enough loved ones. He can’t keep paying for the price of magic because he has nothing else to give. In terms of truly precious possessions (like family members or lovers), Rumpel is out of stock.
Every time I see Mr. Gold or Rumpel sad, I just want to give him a big hug. I don’t want him to go through any more pain either.
