the stoneheart storyline began with arya pulling catelyn’s desecrated corpse out of the river. after the freys made a mockery of the her houses customs
the only way this can end is by arya giving lady stoneheart mercy and returning her body to the river with the proper tully funeral rites.
nothing else will do
imagine.

stoneheart touching aryas face, saying her name, seeing ned’s eyes
arya cries! stoneheart cries! we all cries!
arya telling her mother that bran and rickon and sansa are still alive
arya finding out that her mother always wanted her back
(these two things will bring them both so much of peace of mind and heart!!!!)
arya: “ive got to save you.” lady stoneheart: “you already have.”
thats all arya wanted!!!! to save her mother!!!!!!
