A week passed in a blur, and tonight was Arya's second full moon. She had to sacrifice the young girl that she had kidnapped from the Moon Festival a month ago.
She had not visited her. Not even once in the entire month, and all the women who were sent to care for her or give her food were very clearly instructed to not form any physical or mental bond with her.
They were not allowed to touch her, feed her, bathe her, even listen to her. They were just there to see that she did not escape.
Yes, there was once an incident where Dorothy, one of the caregivers, was carried away and fell for the girls' tears and begging. She had, in fact, lost her child in a battle and felt like this was her child returned to her.
Dorothy had tried to escape with her, and that was the first time Arya had actually decided to visit the girl. She was caught, and as punishment, Dorothy was never allowed near the girl again.
