Love.

To Emma, it had always been a touchy subject. She had always associated it with pain.

If someone told her that she'd die for love, she probably wouldn't have believed them.

Because Emma Swan didn't love people. She kept to herself, never loving. Never getting hurt.

But in this moment, she was surrounded by people she loved.

And she was going to do what it took to save them all.

Even if it meant sacrificing herself to do so.

It did.
