I - I am pleased. I have never been so glad for these memories as I was to see that one. I could not have asked for a more fitting trial or execution of justice. You and Arya and Bran - you make me so proud. You carry on our House's honor, long after I am gone.

[ Ned exhales. ]

Ah, Sansa, I could never have foreseen how you have embraced the mantle of the head of House Stark. It...it sets my heart at ease. Thank you for showing me.
