Tuxer wrote: actually this kinda of explains why Henry was so determinate in believing that fairy tales exist (beyond the fact he's a kid and actually believes magic, fairies and all that exist). When everyone he knows, except his mother, do and say the same thing over and over non-stop you get suspicious. I think when Henry developed self-awareness he noticed how everyone seemed to be trapped in time. So when he got his hands on the fairytale book and saw that the characters were the people he knew and that they were cursed, he believed it - he's a kid after all.

'''I believe they said in a podcast that Henry was actually somewhat affected by the Curse as well... he lived in somewhat of a haze as well, until he got the book. This makes sense, though, as it keeps him complacent. Can't really have him fully aware and asking questions, and drifting away, you know?'''
