That hadn’t been a test, but it was slightly reassuring nonetheless. “The glimpse of your future was simple enough. You sitting on a bench, staring into nothing, doing nothing.” Loki paused there, trying to work out how to convey the exact level of horror and pain in those few moments.
There was no way, so he settled for simple. “You were... empty, I suppose. There was no you I’d point out as ‘that’s my idiot brother’ even though it was clearly you. It was... upsetting. Which was when and why Mother took me to watch your ship explode.”
Thor keeping his promise to listen would be easiest if he was given very few openings to explode in, so Loki didn’t pause. “Your little book left out a few details, but I understand that.” Leaving out the Power Stone torture has been to spare Loki’s feelings, leaving out you really are the worst was to spare Thor’s since they’d ended up the last thing Thor would say to him. “As you might expect, watching myself didn’t disturb me. Watching you was... hard. I never actually believed you before when you talked about grieving for me. I mean, why would you? And so on. But it’s difficult at best to deny that proof.”
