One of the reasons I can’t bring myself to be mad at Jon for running to Rickon (and straight into Ramsay’s trap) is because I can’t bear to think of terrified Rickon running for his life… and seeing Jon just standing there stoically, doing nothing to help him. At least the last thing he saw was his brother rushing to save him. 

I just wish either of them had the foresight to have Rickon drop to the ground until Jon got there. Harder to hit a boy prostrate on the ground than running.
