[ Though he rarely admits to any of them, there are many things that Tony Stark fears. Not tangible things. Not irrational things like insects or clowns or small, enclosed spaces. What he fears is being forgotten, being replaced, being rendered insensate, the deterioration of his mind. He fears being a non-entity, being invisible and unimportant.
And now he is. Literally a ghost, and so soon after his death, is as unsettling as it is debilitating. He can’t interact with the suit, can’t even contact JARVIS. He’s alone in a world full of people, just like he’s always been, but this time, no one even knows he’s there.
It’s coincidence more than design that brings him upon Loki. In the beginning, he may have attempted to engage him, not fully understanding the limitations placed upon him by being like this. But he understands them now and he knows the little Norse alien can’t hear him.
As he walks by him, Tony mutters under his breath, loud enough that, were the situation not as it is, Loki would be able to hear him. ]
