Thor doesn't know how much time passes, after Loki leaves. After he says farewell to his brother for perhaps the last time.
His body seems numb; everything outside it is very faraway. His head is a sea of black despair.
His father is dead. The truce is broken. Loki, who has never wanted to rule, is burdened with Asgard's throne when war -- disastrous war, a war that was hard-won when Odin was in his prime -- batters at its very borders. His father didn't believe that Thor loved him and intended (stupidly, stupidly though he went about it) only good. His mother does not want to see him.
As well she might not. Thor is justly exiled, justly disowned. He thought he was doing the honorable thing, but instead he has brought about his father's death and endangered everything he loves.
No wonder he's no longer worthy to lift Mjolnir.
The humans question him again, but he barely listens, and he makes them no answer. They go away again.
He has nothing to offer them.
