You have your own talents. I don't need you to be like me. I rather you were yourself. And it's . . . enough that you want to stay.
[ he looks back at his wine, his reflection peering back at him. ]
The reason I died was because I had stolen a powerful object known as an Infinity Stone. I knew Thanos wanted it and I kept it because I thought it would be useful. Selfishly, for my own survival. But I went back to the ship, to the rest of Asgard because he said — [ there is a lump in his throat. loki swallows it down. ] — Thor said I could be more. And I wanted to be. More.
I could finally build a better Asgard. Protect my people. Have them love me as me. Then Thanos came and he killed — so many. He was killing Thor. My selfishness was killing them.
So I gave it up. The stone, my life. One last gambit.
[ he rubs his throat idly. ]
He crushed my throat. When I arrived in the islands, I still had the bruises.

It's such a pathetic story.
