Jon climbed the steps slowly, trying not to think that this might be the last time ever. Ghost paddedsilently beside him. Outside, snow swirled1 through the castle gates, and the yard was all noise andchaos, but inside the thick stone walls it was still warm and quiet. Too quiet for Jon’s liking2.
He reached the landing and stood for a long moment, afraid. Ghost nuzzled at his hand. He tookcourage from that. He straightened, and entered the room.
Lady Stark3 was there beside his bed. She had been there, day and night, for close on a fortnight.
Not for a moment had she left Bran’s side. She had her meals brought to her there, and chamber4 potsas well, and a small hard bed to sleep on, though it was said she had scarcely slept at all.

But now there was no more time.
He stood in the door for a moment, afraid to speak, afraid to come closer. The window was open.

Lady Stark looked over. For a moment she did not seem to recognize him. Finally she blinked.
“What are you doing here?” she asked in a voice strangely flat and emotionless.
“I came to see Bran,” Jon said. “To say good-bye.”
Her face did not change. Her long auburn hair was dull and tangled5. She looked as though she hadaged twenty years. “You’ve said it. Now go away.”
Part of him wanted only to flee, but he knew that if he did he might never see Bran again. He took anervous step into the room. “Please,” he said.
Something cold moved in her eyes. “I told you to leave,” she said. “We don’t want you here.”
Once that would have sent him running. Once that might even have made him cry. Now it onlymade him angry. He would be a Sworn Brother of the Night’s Watch soon, and face worse dangersthan Catelyn Tully Stark. “He’s my brother,” he said.
“Shall I call the guards?”
“Call them,” Jon said,
