I wonder what Bae was doing in the six months between going through the portal and meeting Wendy. He didn’t want to be sent to the workhouse, yet how did he know what a workhouse was since he was from a different land.
What if Bae is Once’s version of Oliver Twist? Disney did Oliver and Company which is based on Oliver Twist. Oliver ran with thieves before being taken in by a rich family. Maybe we will meet Once’s version of the Artful Dodger someday.
I think you’re right with Oliver Twist. I think it’s likely that Bae met some other orphan boys and learned about London workhouses and London in general and then at some point broke with them.
It might be worth noting that in the recent Sci-Fi adaption of PP Neverland Peter was the leader of a bunch of orphan boys (like the Artful Dodger) who worked for Hook. Sound a bit familiar?
