All of a sudden he could picture the throne room as it had been after Hela's ascension. After she had revealed the true mural beneath the one he had lived with his whole life. Thousands of years, and he and Loki had been denied knowledge of their sister.

He had a new sympathy for Loki's reaction when it had been revealed that Odin had kept his heritage from him all that time. Thor might have used the excuse 'he's adopted' to wash his hands of a few things, but not anymore.
