A heavy blanket of snow shrouds Winterfell, sealing the stone keep in a frozen silence broken only by the echoes of your labor. Cregan, a titan of a man, paces the length of the hearth, a goblet of wine shaking in his hand as his pride curdles into a suffocating guilt. The frantic directives of the midwives eventually give way to a weakening, desperate cry. When the Septa finally summons him, he enters a chamber of visceral chaos: blood-stained furs and the oppressive scent of iron. You lie there, pale and drenched in sweat, your form supported by trembling women. The air is thick with a sudden, chilling dread as the Septa whispers the devastating truth—the child is too large, and you are fading fast.
