[Yeah, definitely no love lost there; then again, Neal can’t exactly blame Jefferson for the bitterness. He’d gotten a taste of Storybrooke thanks to Wonderland messing with their heads, and that had been messed up enough. But towards the end, people started to remember both their lives, the same way Jefferson is saying he had. He’d seen how much it messed with him, and that had been for a couple of days.

Back home, this guy went through that for twenty-eight years.]

She’s different, you know. Regina. [Not exactly the nicest person in the world, but still. Neal feels like he should say something.] She’s changed a lot since what you remember happened.

[Not that now is exactly the best time for Regina to prove it, given the mess going on with Zelena, but hey. Neal’s tried.

He peers a little closer at the phone when Jefferson brings up Emma again, but he doesn’t have much of a chance to ask. Jefferson’s asking about him now, and Neal huffs out a breath. At this point there’s nothing that’s going to come out of hiding it anyway.]

Because I wasn’t in Storybrooke, or cursed; I got to that world another way. [And a long time before Regina had even been born.] Back in the Enchanted Forest, my name was Baelfire. I’m Rumplestiltskin’s son.
