Noémie (15 years old) has lived in a youth center for three years. When she loses all hope of being taken back by her mother, Noémie runs away in search of meaning and freedom.

Recalcitrant at first, Noémie says yes.

It took writers D.B Weiss and David Benioff two years to give us a promising final season. Two. Years. It was just going to be six episodes, which was short considering that all the other seasons — except season 7 — were 10 episodes. 10. 6 wasn’t enough, and even HBO wanted to give the writers more episodes. More seasons, even. However, the writers wanted to get out of the show as quickly as possible to work on other projects. This abruptness is clearly shown in this season.
