So it's true in all worlds; magic comes with a price.
[Of course it is. Looking back, she realizes how foolish it was to think that a few magic users were going to be the ones to find a way to break free. When they finally do find a way out, it's going to take everyone, not just a few concerned citizens who decided it was worth the risk.
It wasn't, she gets that now. If it had clicked a few days earlier, maybe all of this could have been avoided.]
I should have known better, but - [Henry needed her, and all she could think of was getting back to him. Instead, she put him through another traumatic incident, and endangered more lives than she cares to think about.] Nothing I say is going to make up for my part in putting all of you through hell. I'm sorry, but I know it isn't enough. [So Emma drops that with a sigh and almost ends it there before she remembers that this isn't just about beating herself up over what happened.]
Also, I've noticed that COMPASS seems to have taken an interest in Storybrooke. If that means something to you, I'm looking for a count of how many of us are here now. And names, if you have them.

It was reckless, if you're talking about what happened with the train. But you couldn't have known. That you're apologizing should be enough. Your intentions were good and you made a mistake. There's no use beating yourself up over it.
[ maybe. or, well, it's an elaborate ruse. he isn't so sure. a public apology speaks volumes, though. ]
( text )
Tell that to the people who got hurt on their way in and know things are only going to get worse from here.

[ Yeah, that's still his story and he's still sticking to it. ]
It was the price we paid for acting, without knowing what we were doing. We should have found someone who knew remotely the engineering behind those engines. Not a one of us either knew, or asked someone who did.
voice
[She wasn't thinking clearly. Knowing her kid was waiting for her in Neverland had pushed aside whatever logic might have stopped her from trying to lock down a train full of people.]
I'm lucky that his arm was the worst of it.

Also, I'm sure you know Mary Margret and Neal are here by now, but I ran into them.

But then there's the fact that her son was on the train. It's a whole new level guilt.] Henry's here, too.

... I think if we'd had any idea people were going to get hurt like that, we wouldn't have gone through with it. Or maybe we would have found a way to protect them, or stopped the train after they were off of it, or something.
But we didn't know. I think what matters is how we handled everything afterwards, as well as what we do now.

You are all idiots.
Magic is not to blame for this either, it is poor planning.

He's better, thanks to Mirar. Seems to think pretty highly of you, too.

[she's still clumsy and clueless about this thing and well, everything here, so her voice is a bit nervous. especially when it comes to the next subject.]
I'm not from there, but I... I have heard of it. In passing. Before all this happened.
voice
[The nervousness in her voice doesn't go unnoticed, but something else about her tone registers first - Emma's talking to someone a lot younger than she is.]
Who are you? How did you hear about Storybrooke?

...You admit you made a mistake. That takes a lot of guts that a lot of people don't have. [like my dad? um] And it ended up looking worse than it actually was. No one got too badly hurt. I know that's...not going to make you feel much better, but. I think most people are gonna understand.

I just wanted to get back to Neverland, damn the consequences.

[ She's seen a number of these posts over the last few days. ] Did anybody get seriously hurt?
( video )
[Seriously hurt? As far as she knows, everyone ended up being healed or getting medical attention.] My son, Henry, broke his arm during the wreck. Mirar healed him, but...
That's on me.

Of course magic comes with a price. Those who call it a gift are misguided.
