The language of love becomes an explanation for an appalling choice. The scene establishes how protecting an intimate secret can drive the story’s public disasters.

In Bran II of A Game of Thrones, Bran discovers Jaime and Cersei together in Winterfell’s tower. Jaime speaks these words before pushing the child from the window; the narration describes loathing in his delivery. The pilot reuses the sentence, but this page credits the novel’s earlier version.
