I tend to write essay posts, but word to the wise, it's a bit "wall of text" like. I'd shorten it down as much as possible, otherwise it gets hard to read and feels like you're talking amongst yourself and your thoughts.

I'll say that "please" was actual magic that was part of the curse. As Regina put it when the curse was broken and Rumple said please, she responded with "It seems your pleases have lost their punch".

Think of it like when Rumple made a deal with Zelena of 'your life for mine" as in Rumple couldn't kill Zelena without completely corrupting his heart "killing" Rumple.
