self isolating to cope is great until you look up one day and years have passed and you realise no one knew you when you were 18 or 19 or 20 or 21 and now they never will

Bran looks so…sad almost when he said he’s no longer Brandon Stark. It seems almost wistful, but he’s resigned himself to being nothing, this omniscient presence almost.
All the Starks have struggled with identity, and now it’s Bran’s time - he knows so much, maybe too much, and it’s made him lose himself (and tbh it’s an interesting idea on how trauma had affected him). He’s back where he wanted to be all along, with the people he’s always loved, but now he’s muted and doesn’t feel like he’s himself anymore.
I hope there IS an after for him, and that he gets to work towards - maybe not becoming the old Brandon Stark, but not the three eyed raven either. Maybe someone new, a Bran Stark who allows himself to feel, to be safe, to grow from his pain.
By that time Jamie was my heart and the breath of my body. I couldn’t leave him. I couldn’t.
