Needle was Robb and Bran and Rickon, her mother and her father, even Sansa. Needle was Winterfell's grey walls, and the laughter of its people. Needle was the summer snows, Old Nan's stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room.

Needle was Jon Snow's smile. He used to mess my hair and call me "little sister," she remembered, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.

Needle 是 Robb、 Bran，和Rickon，是她的母親和父親甚或Sansa. Needle 是 Winterfell的灰色圍牆 ，以及裡面人們的笑聲。 Needle 是夏日的飛雪，老奶媽講的故事，是心樹的紅葉和那張嚇人的臉，溫室裡頭溫暖的土腥味，和北風颳搔她房間窗板的聲響。
Needle 是 Jon Snow的微笑，他從前總是摸亂我的頭髮，叫我「小妹」 。她憶起，突然眼淚已充盈雙眼。
