[ There’s so much between all of the residents of the manor now, after the games, let alone the interpersonal struggles that have played out over weeks and months. It’s not unlike the life she led in Westeros, in truth — with the acts of one’s House and allies reflecting upon oneself; the discord between lovers and friends seeping into other relationships. Her family remains, and she intends to protect them above all here, for as long as she can.
