The universe is full of injustices. Something I learned long ago, even before my life came unraveled. I would not say I've made peace with it, but I've accepted it.

[He wasn't really the type to celebrate 'justice' anyways. It was a weird concept to him from his upbringing and experiences. What was 'just' to one could be very 'unjust' to another. So Loki would leave it to the hero-types for now. If wronged, he would do what he felt was appropriate to make it 'right' instead. Revenge was not off the table either.]

As for focusing here...start involving yourself in more than just Alice's life. We have no way of knowing for certain whether this is all a sham or a dream or some dying lunacy or if Vaeros really can't grant our wishes. The contract did however say to 'live here', and that is not bad advice.

[Now Loki got up, and moved over to where Gamora sat. He did not reach out, as he might've done were this Alice, or Kaiba perhaps. But he could offer his closer presence as some kind of reassurance or comfort at least.]

Let yourself mourn. Rage. Grieve. Whatever you feel is necessary, but do not let yourself die here while you're still able to live.
