Hook trains the Lost Boys, shouting orders and correcting mistakes. In frustration, he mutters, “If only the boy weren’t always in my way… I care too much about him.”

The whispers spread instantly. The Lost Boys look at Peter, then at Hook, their eyes wide with shock.

Peter confronts Hook, voice trembling between accusation and amusement. “You… what did you just say?”

Hook glares, flushing with anger and embarrassment. “I said nothing! Forget it!”

But the magic of Neverland listens. Peter doesn’t forget. Hook doesn’t forget. And now the tension between them has shifted into a dangerous, unspoken current that could break or bind them forever.
