So I’m going to divest myself of any SF trapping I have for a moment and look at another possible explanation for the “phoenix” constellation, if it is indeed that.
Is it possible that PP planted that coconut with the stars mapped out like that in order to trigger something in Bae? Not like he’s a sleeper agent but rather to create a sense of longing in Baelfire to go to where those stars were someday? We know he landed in NJ when he left NL so why go to Phoenix of all places? For those of you not in America, it’s literally on the other side of the country. Well PP needed him there to steal the watches to get him on the run to Portland to meet Emma. So while Bae may have subconsciously been plotting Phoenix stars for sorta unknown reasons, it is at all possible that it’s more of PP’s manipulation?
