[ When Theon thinks about his betrayal, Robb is the only one who factors into it. No other Starks. He broke Robb’s trust, because he only ever had Robb’s trust to begin with. He may have taken their home, been the catalyst that caused it to be destroyed, but he betrayed only one person in the process, and he beats himself up over it every day.
He thinks that, if Robb had woken whole and uninjured, he would be on his knees begging for the forgiveness that he so craves, but instead, here he is spilling his guilt onto the metal floor alongside Robb’s blood. ]
I could have been there. Roose Bolton—I might have seen. I might have known.
[ In truth, being there was all he could have done. Theon only grew wise to Roose when he grew wise to Ramsay. They had been such foolish boys before, poking fun at Lord Bolton, not even realizing what a dangerous man he truly was. ]
