Summary
3B AU. Emma and Henry’s fake memories wrote Regina into their lives as a dead wife and mother. Henry can barely remember a thing, but he knows that nothing about Storybrooke, Maine makes any sense, and everyone is looking at him like they’re afraid of saying something they aren’t supposed to. In fact, he thinks the only person who might not be lying to him is the mayor. Regina Mills.
He turns when someone drops down beside him like he’s expecting to see her there, book in hand and reading glasses slipping down her nose, but it’s just Ma, and she’s alone. She’s not leaning over the back of the couch to nudge Mom’s glasses back into place, or grin when Mom swats her hand away. She just sighs, and they’re alone.
(And in the memory, his mom has no face. His therapist says this is normal. Trauma affects the memory in complex ways, Henry.
Whatever. What kind of person forgets what their mom looked like?)
