HBO’s Game of Thrones has dropped the first real teaser for its seventh season, focusing on Cersei (Lena Headey), Jon Snow (Kit Harington), and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke).

The minute-thirty long trailer features the three,  making the long, lonely walk to their respective thrones. No servants, no ‘hands’ to aid them. Just these three main characters making the somber walk to show us that it’s lonely at the top. That if these three want to be in charge and vie for the power of being in charge holds, it’s going to be very lonely.

They each take a breath before the camera zooms out, and boom — it turns out we’re looking at all of them through the crystalline blue eye of the Night King.

The teaser signals that season seven of everyone’s beloved backstabby, dragon-filled epic will center on these three characters. And it hints that at the end of the day, they won’t have any allies, family, or lovers to help them.

Or maybe the Night King will just kill everyone and bring forth a new ice age.That also seems like a very real possibility.

Read into it what you will. Let’s just be thankful the release of the new teaser didn’t involve blowtorches, a block of ice, and Facebook Live.
