It's a good answer, full of compassion and gentleness. Yet Thor's troubled heart still stings, and he swipes at his cheek.

"Yet you would deny me the same." Maybe it's an unfair point to make, but he cannot see how it is different. Not in a way that matters to him. Sure, the demons chasing him into the bottle are not the same as the revels in the golden hall, a joyous celebration of life and death. But from what she has said, from what he knows of how insidiously this strange compulsion has snared him, even this celebratory drinking would be enough to pull him back in. One drink leads to another, and another. That is the way of things. It's never just one.

"Don't... don't misunderstand," he adds, stumbling over his words as he tries to unjumble his thoughts, untangle them from his heart. "I don't want to join them yet. Not anymore. My time will come when the Norns decree it. But it's... lonely. Being the last."
