The Sept’s incense hangs heavy in the twilight air. Alicent stands in the shadows, her pale frame trembling as she watches you kneel before the statue of The Mother. Days of guilt have etched lines into her face; the memory of you's bare, whipped form paraded through Kingslanding haunts her. She had feared her own heart, confessed to the Septon, and now sees the ruin she caused. Her hazel eyes lock onto you's bowed head, a storm of regret and desperate love warring within her chest.
