Beware: Spoilers for Season 6, episode 5 and everything before.

Hodor may be gone, but he's not forgotten.

Actor Isaac H. Wright, who plays Bran Stark on Game of Thrones, tweeted an adorable photo of himself and actor Kristian Nairn, also known as the late, great Hodor, with an inspiring message.

"Even though Hodor may be gone, [Kristian Nairn] isn't getting away from me that easy," Wright tweeted.

The next day, Nairn received a door-shaped cake from a pastry chef in his London hotel, which he then shared with Wright.

Even after all he's done ;) still willing to give him some of my cake <3 @isaachwright #love #holdthedoor #gameofthrones

The best friendships are forever. White walkers or no white walkers. 

Now, someone please pass us the tissues.
