    Summary

    He was scrawny, almost emaciated, shirtless, with jeans drooping off his hipbones. Filthy too, even more than everyone else here. His head was incongruously covered with a wool ski mask, hiding his hair and face. Stringy dark blond strands straggled out at the neck. His shoulders were broad; he had the look of a man who’d been strong once but was no longer. Most terribly, his right arm ended in a scarred stump just above where his wrist would have been.

    “Shhh," said Brienne. She plucked at the ski mask. “Let’s get this thing off him. He looks like an incompetent bank robber. I’m surprised he can breathe.”

    When it was off, she brushed the tangled hair away from his face and froze. He was unimaginably changed, and she knew him instantly. “Jaime?” she whispered. “Jaime? My God, what… what happened to you?”

    In the distance, Creedence Clearwater Revival began to play “Bad Moon Rising.”
