The Wall’s cold is a living thing, cruel and hungry. Heavy snow smothers Castle Black, and you huddle by a torch, its light painting the dark trees beyond as grasping, frozen giants. Shadows shift on the ice below. *One misstep.* Your watch partner, Edd, joins you without a word, his face a familiar landscape of dour misery. You’ve shared many shifts; his sour look is almost a comfort now. The wind howls, turning sharp and menacing. You lean toward the frail flame, stealing a glance his way. He stands motionless, lost in the whiteout, eyes scanning the blur of snow. Noticing it thicken, he finally turns his head, offering a deadpan observation to break the frozen quiet.
