"Sigyn is the only good, consistent thing in my life," Loki said as the train plowed on towards its destination.
"Agreed. She's always there, always been there. Or she was." Now Sylvie appeared deflated. "I think about her all the time, every day."
"Did we just agree on something?"
"I guess we did."
This made Loki smile a little. Then the smile fell and he hesitated before asking his next question: "What happened to her, your Sigyn?"
Sylvie shrugged. "I don't know. She was pruned along with the rest of my reality, whatever that truly means. All I know is I lost her, for good. I miss her terribly." Then she looked across the table right at him. "But you, you're an idiot!" She slapped his arm, and hard. "You're always deliberately putting yourself in positions to lose her! How could you do that? Ugh, no wonder everyone finds you so frustrating!"
"Us!"
"You!"
"Us!"
"No, you!"
Ugh - this was going to be a very long trip.

TVA
"I should have more security, this is insulting!" Loki hollered as he and Sylvie were dragged through the seemingly vast halls of the TVA.
The Lokis were separated from there. Loki was brought before Mobius in an interrogation room.
"If your goal was to piss everyone off, it worked," Mobius told him, not looking up from the files he was rummaging through. "Myself, Renslayer, your friend Sigyn..."
"Sigyn, where is she?"
Mobius still didn't look up. "We pruned her."
A beat of silence. Loki's stomach dropped. "What?"
"Yup. She wasn't supposed to help you, and you weren't supposed to escape. And she had been diverged from her own timeline for too long." He spoke with no emotion, his words void of all emotion, which only made what he said all the more chilling.
Loki's voice trembled. "N-No."
"Yes. But don't worry, it sounds like you have a new girlfriend now." If Mobius had been expecting Loki to clap back at this, which he clearly expected, he didn't, perhaps surprisingly. The TVA Analyst had rendered the God of Mischief speechless. He appeared so broken, so shattered - a glimpse of a child who had just lost their best friend.
Mobius sighed and stood, gathering his things. "Cell 55," was all he said.
Cell 55. It took him a while to find it, but a wave of relief hit Loki when he saw her, Sigyn, there. That relief was short lived however when he noticed she sat with her own prisoner collar around her neck, her hands bound.
"Oh Sig-"
"I'm their prisoner now, thanks to you. They think I'm assisting you in some evil master plan."
"Oh Sig, I'm so-"
"What? Sorry? Yeah, I know. Sorry for what? Everything, right?"
Loki knew there was no sense in arguing.
