Even though I was hoping there would be some connection to the real Belle (and we may yet still find out that there is), I loved their interaction!
Ever since those set photos that showed Emilie dressed like she was in the finale, and even down on the docks still, I’ve had it in my head that that’s a device they’re gonna use to show how time passes differently in each land, so even if Rumple’s been in NL for a couple of days now, perhaps only a fraction of a second has passed for Belle. On the one hand, I’d love it if she was doing something on her end as well, because it’d heighten the romance of it all, with them reaching out to each other across time and space. On the other hand, I think it still speaks to the strength of their love and their bond if she’s had enough of an impact on him previously that he’s able to draw on that of his own accord when he’s off on this solitary journey.
You see, Rumple knows exactly what Belle thinks of him, even if he doesn’t understand why and claims not to believe it himself. But the Belle he manifested still came from within him, so perhaps that means that deep, deep down- there is a part of him that thinks she could be right.
Love this!
