It's been nearly ten years since the "The Rains of Castamere" episode of Game of Thrones, and we have only just begun to heal.
The episode, known to most as the "Red Wedding" episode, concluded with many GoT fans blankly staring at their screens in silent disbelief. To this day, it is still considered one of the series' best - and most painful - episodes, ending in a massacre that ripped our hearts out.
Believe it or not, there are still some who have yet to experience the glory that is Game of Thrones. Unfortunately for one TikToker, her first time was witnessed by millions.
In a now-viral video posted by @georgiawoods4, a first-time GoT viewer is captured reacting to the heart-wrenching episode that is the Red Wedding. It's as if we are reliving the torture all over again.
The video, captioned, "POV: you watch The Red Wedding in GoT for the first time," can be viewed below.
But beware—those intentionally-suppressed feeling may re-emerge.
@georgiawoods4 POV: you watch The Red Wedding in GOT for the first time 🤣 please do yourselves a favour and watch the whole video 😭 #gameofthrones #gameofthronesreaction #theredwedding #theredweddingreaction
Throughout the duration of the minute-twenty capture, the viewer goes through all of the emotions while gasping, screaming, crying...you're well familiar with the massacre-inflicted torment.
While viewers of the video—which has been seen more than 2.5 million times now—are entertained by the reaction, completely sympathized and many admitted they were reliving the soul-crushing moment all over again.
