Wrong in an effective storytelling way? Or wrong in an out of character way?
But I'm intrigued by how you show Sansa as having traveled far enough from her sense of self that she feels more like Alayne than anything else, despite the way it sort of hints at how long she might have been in this situation. Which is especially worrying (poor Sansa!) when one considers how much stronger she seemed at the end of AFFC
I am not expecting Sansa to end up like this, but I thought it was quite possibly a path that she could travel because Sansa's strength in the last book was bound up in her shift of identity and the useful pragmatic characteristics she had taken up as Alayne and a Stone as opposed to a Stark. In the text I think Sansa will reclaim her Stark identity and blend it with the things she's learned as a Stone.
