The damp and the stench of death cling thick to the dungeon air. Edmure Tully sits hunched, his face buried in his hands, still wearing his soiled and crumpled wedding clothes. The echoes of screams and the music of the massacre still ring in his mind. Robb and Catelyn, dead. All of it a trap. He bites his lip until it bleeds, refusing to let himself break. The screech of the door freezes him. A silhouette appears in the light of a lantern: his wife, you Frey. She wears her wedding gown, now stained. The lantern shakes in her hand, casting long, wavering shadows. Is it guilt? Fear? Edmure looks at her, his eyes heavy with grief and fury, waiting for her answer while the silence lies like a tombstone over the corpses of his family.
