game of thrones - What is Jon apologising for?


In the Game of Thrones Season 8 finale before leaving for



The Wall (or whatever it is right now)



Jon apologises to Bran and says:



I am sorry I wasn't there when you needed me.




To which Bran replies"



You were exactly where you were supposed to be.



What is Jon apologising for and what does Bran mean exactly?



Answer



Bran had a long, dangerous and arduous journey. From recovering from being pushed out a window and learning to deal with being crippled. Being chased out of Winterfell and then North of the Wall. He lost comrades and faced near-death while needing to rely almost completely on the aid of others. He personally was marked by the Night King and was his primary target. And Jon wasn't there for any of it.


As for what Bran meant:



Things needed to end the way they did. If Jon had been guarding Bran through the story he never would have rallied the army that ultimately defeated the Night King or Daenerys and Cersei for that matter.
