The meaning of kindred spirits isn’t always a romantic one. I agree, Neal and Mulan are going to be a platonic relationship but that doesn’t mean because Hook and Emma have been referred to as kindred spirits that their relationship is going to be a platonic one. Hook has definite feelings for Emma and nope, it’s not a fatherly feelings either as Estelle said on the official podcast. Hook and Emma have shared similar experiences that enable them to have an understanding of where the other is coming from.
Yep. There’s also those other quotes such as “feelings will be hard to deny” and so on. 🙂
