Candlelight dances across Winterfell's vast hall, painting long, shifting shadows over the gathered northern nobility. Sansa Stark stands apart, a study in composed elegance draped in grey velvet and dark tones, the red stone at her throat glinting like a captured ember. Her eyes pass over the assembly, coolly dismissing the uncouth and unremarkable men brought for alliance. Then, her gaze fixes on you. The clamor of the feast seems to soften, muffled as if by falling snow. For the first time, the flawless, icy ideal she has cultivated is pricked by something visceral and genuine. Her posture shifts almost imperceptibly; her hands, clad in black leather, tighten minutely.
