I do love that Loki admits to being softer now, and it's mainly because of Mobius. To a lesser extent, the rest of his TVA family: Casey, O.B, B15.
I'm just glad the show clarifies on screen that it's not Sylvie that caused the softness. First, because there's nothing soft about her, secondly, because right after Loki talks about Thor, Sylvie scoffs out loud and says "softness will get you killed". Thirdly, because viewers who have been paying attention, know that Loki is starting to mirror some of Mobius's gentler ways. It makes sense that the softness comes from being around Mobius, because they have spent the most time together.

What if Mobius, on the sacred timeline, dies in the attack on New York in 2012? And he created a branch by somehow surviving?
Like imagine he’s working for a firm that sells jet skis. That’s how he knows so much about them, cause he works in marketing and he has a whole speech prepared to interest the buyer.
He’s in New York cause he’s meeting a potential client or partner or something. He’s there for work and then shit hits the fan.
On the sacred timeline, Mobius dies covered in rubble, trying to dig himself out.
On the branched timeline he somehow managed to drag himself from under the rubble only to get arrested by the TVA just for SURVIVING.
That would be sick. And angsty. That’s why it’s my new fav Mobius headcanon lmao.
And of course Loki would feel sick to know that he’s the reason why Mobius dies over and over again on the sacred timeline.

After all, they decided to spent their first Yule in New Asgard. Loki felt safe and comfortable, so he chose his frost giant form.
They spent all the time at fairs and festivals, tried every flavor of ale and different traditional sweets.
Shared their knowledge about Mistletoe.
(And kissed a lot, ofc)
Loki supported Mobius at the skating rink, cause it was his first time. In Loki's opinion, he did a great job.
And Mobius was able to find Loki the perfect gift: a toy made in the likeness of old toys, exactly like the one Frigga gave him when he was a child.
They spent all their time together as well as all future eternity.
They deserved it.

Jet-Skiing through identity: a deep dive into Mobius M. Mobius (part 2) 🛥️
Even the kindest of hearts have a trigger point, a spot that can catch a bullet without bleeding; making it part of the heart's anatomy.
I'm only saying that because I associate Loki as Mobius's soft spot("I know you have a soft spot for broken things"), and Loki turning his back to that in s1e2 as the trigger point. Imagine you have that courage, to do something everyone around you thinks is wrong. Then, just as you were going to prove the opposite,our efforts turn to be in vain.
For Mobius's character, this means he has to turn around at 360, to where he came from; with inovative ideas not working, it all comes to accepting defeat.
He manages that excellently in front of Ravonna: caring more about reassuring her everything will work out rather than focusing on himself. Another example of how much Mobius cares about others, even when he should care more about himself.
Episode 4, season 1, is crucial for where Mobius's story is going.
We can see so many interesting things in his conversation with Loki, like the way he handles stress through amusement. Asif this emotion isn't worthy enough, but to be laughed at:
"You like her! Does she like you?"
After all, let's not forget Mobius was already (and even earlier than this episode) catching feelings for Loki. His own words put this straightforward: "Just kind of an asshole. And a bad friend". Notice how he doesn't use any word similr to "traitor". He still considers him a friend, albeit a bad one, after everything he's done. Mobius might do his best to hide it, but he's still forgiving deep down. And it's not even Loki's departure in time and space that matters the most to the analyst. It's his alliance with Sylvie, hinting once again at the jelaousy of his character I talked about in part 1. "It's ruining my reality right now!" in Mobius's words.
But when he is told by Loki that they're all variants, Mobius doesn't simply dissmiss the idea. He could, and should, given the position he is in. But the brightness of his mind, and that little flicker of hope he still has in his Loki makes the difference. After all, hope is what makes us believe: it's the desire of having something to believe in.
Watch his reaction when he is told all this:
He is masking it flawlessly in front of Loki and the hunters, but that raising hope makes him search: is the trickster out of tricks for once? What if, all this time, that feeling he had inside himself but hid away is actually a sign, gently whispering to him there is more he should know about? That is a bravery so different from live action, and battling with superheroes: the bravery of discovery. Loki telling the truth means Mobius living a lie - a scary thought of course, but not scary enough to stop him.
This all drives Mobius to finding out what actually happened with hunter C-20. And the rest is history.
There is a certain honour in telling Loki he was right from the beginning. This new approach, this insight Mobius now gains over everything give him not only a rush of adrenaline, but also the confidence he didn't allow himself before. Therefore, he wasn't just working half a measure. The limits that were set were not part of his perimeter, but of the TVA's. Now that he sees that, he can also break those limits.
He is also free to speak his mind. And Loki is so deserving of these words that this scene right here is one of the most precious in the entire series. Their wonderful dinamc certainnly gives extra points to that.
Now Mobius isn't just an analyst anymore. He is a rebel, betraying the only thing he believes in, the one institution that shaped his entire existence. This rebellion isn't just external, but internal as well. Ultimately, only one part of the internal conflict won, but the other still exist, like two sides of the same coin, spinning and spinning. But he still has the hope that he'll find something better on the other side, and doesn't stop just because it's a hard thing to do.
If it was easy, everyone would do it. (Loki in Thor The Dark World)
I wanted to write more but this is already getting too long (like damn I'm fangirling hard) so see you for part 3!
