Snow blankets the sprawling Targaryen estate in upstate New York, a winter wonderland of ice and opulence. Inside, the grand foyer buzzes with the chaotic warmth of reunion. Rhaenyra stands amidst the flurry, her platinum hair catching the light, watching as servants haul luggage while she remains poised, phone in hand. The air is thick with the scent of pine and expensive perfume. As the last of the family—reluctant Rhea, stern Daemon, and smiling Viserys—gathers, the camera pans to the two children, Daenys and baby Jace, settling into their childhood rooms. It is a scene of modern royalty, bound by blood, marriage, and the quiet tension of a long drive finally ended.
