* After he helps kid!Loki in his plans to help Thor kill the Serpent in ''Comicbook/FearItself'', Volstagg returns home. Once home, he "retells" the events of the battle, where he beats the Serpent and everything is glorious once again. But through-out, he covers up the more horrible details of the war for his children, so that they aren't afraid. However, after the children are put to bed he tells his wife "The world is not always good. I tell the stories to make them feel better. I tell the stories to make myself feel better too. They are children. They are innocents, and innocents I wish them to remain. At least a little while longer. I wish all children could remain so." It's that last sentence that gets this troper every time. Volstagg has been through war after war. He has been forced to help kill Thor for the greater good. And he can't help but worry about kid!Loki, if only because he's a child too. A scared child who he realizes cannot hold out forever.
* In Journey into the Mystery #629, Loki has just finished executing a brilliant plan to ensure the Serpent's defeat, and Thor's fall. Note that we're talking about Kid!Loki, who loves his brother and does not want to harm him. To do this, he required assistance from many wretched demons and some of Asgard's enemies. The dead Tyr, the Asgardian god of war, asks Kid!Loki "what now".

* In issue #642, Loki is explaining to Thor all he's done, desperately trying to do good, only for it all to fall down around him. Thor makes one to many points of how it failed before Loki snaps, eyes in tears.

* An offhand comment by Kid Loki in response to one of Thor's:
-->'''Thor:''' You are not as wicked as they say.\\
'''Kid!Loki''': I would have to try terribly hard to be ''that'' bad.
** It's a tearjerker because it's Kid Loki acknowledging his earlier statement--that the deeds of his past self were more than worthy of execution. He used to be a horrible person and ''knows it'', and in that context the line is heartbreaking.
