[If everyone knew or not, Lucy feels like she has to say it. In case some of Emma's friends didn't know, they should. she has cried a lot over this, and while it does get a bit easier each day...she does miss her grandma a lot. She misses her family a whole lot, but one thing at a time. When she turns on the feed, it's just her voice. Not as chipper as she was before, more somber and softer.]

If anyone was friends with Emma Swan, I'm sorry to say...she's gone back to her home world.

[Which, thinking about it, would either dropped her off at Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest, but that's not the main point.]

She would've said goodbye if she had the chance, so please don't hold that against her.

[Done. At least people know now....and hopefully she did the right thing.]

[ a solemn nod. ]

Sometimes they remember being here. They'll always remember their home world, but whether they'll remember being here...

[thestoriesarereal]

[Okay...okay...she can handle dealing with that. She takes another deep breath.]

If she doesn't remember being here, that's fine. As long as she remembers Henry, Regina, and the others, that's fine. She can't forget about Storybrooke.

[deathkid]

[ he gives her an encouraging smile. ] I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Lucy shakes her head and gives him a hard stare.]

If a curse is involved, it can.

[deathkid]

[ making a noise in the back of his throat. ]

But people have broken curses before, right?

[thestoriesarereal]

...some of them.

[She looks down again, debating about telling Nico the truth.]

..Before coming here, my family was under a curse and I was supposed to help break it...and I failed.

[deathkid]

[ his brows furrow hearing that. ]

How did you fail?

[thestoriesarereal]

I couldn't get my parents to remember who they were, and my dad ended up leaving Hyperion Heights.

I couldn't get my parents back together to break the curse with True Love's kiss.

[deathkid]

[ he doesn't much believe in "true love's kiss" like she does, doubts it has the power he's seen gods and demigods wield, but that's not his world and magic obviously works differently, so... he tries thinking of it from a different direction. ]

You know... I think there are other forms of True Love's Kiss than between two parents.

Maybe a different kind of kiss is needed. Maybe there's still a way to break that curse.

[thestoriesarereal]

[There's a shake of her head.]

It's the only one that would work. He doesn't think I'm his kid, but I kept telling him I was and tried hard for him a-and my mom to get together, but the curse is really strong so...

[Okay, okay no crying. Deep breath. She misses her family a lot and having Emma leave makes it feel like she let her hero of a grandma down.]

Henry, my Dad, he has to be the one to break it and that's with True Love's kiss.

[deathkid]

Hm.... [ this is so beyond him, but he wants to help her. ]

There's really no other way to break the curse? Because not all curses need a kiss.

[thestoriesarereal]

[A slow nod of her head.]

No other way. No magic potion, no spell-we're in a land without magic. That's part of the curse.

[deathkid]

That's so... strange. [ bites his lip, thinking. ] I don't even know what it would be like to live in a world without magic.

[thestoriesarereal]

It's boring, and no one has their happy ending.
