That's going to make it harder to happy-dance to his suffering.
Harder, but not impossible.

Well, I'm personally very proud of Hans. It certainly took him long enough to reach this stage and I'm sad it took the harming (literally) of Brand's heart to get him there.
*gently pushes Hans along*
It's always great to see the villains realizing their wrongs. Because as Euripides once believed, no one does wrong intentionally, they do it because it's their perception of what is right. Hans' perception has finally changed!
Well isn't this odd... I knew that Mist showed people in which exact ways they suck to break them down and assimilate them, but this more looks like personal growth on Hans part. Unless he's swinging all the way to the other side and has now entirely eliminated his own self-esteem through this realization. Also, good job on the post mortem talk feel.
hmmm.... I made a similar comment back on page 23.
"I don't know.... I somehow get the feeling that, perhaps, we're misjudging Mist. Who said it was inherently evil? Pissed off perhaps... but so far, harsh as the Mist-dreams have been, they've each carried a lesson for those stuck within it. Grey let her darkest desires take complete control and hurt the ones around her, and her dream was ______. And it didn't seem to end until she had learned her lesson, and then she faded away. It may not have been Hans's strength of character or willpower that stopped him being destroyed by Mist, it might have been his complete unwillingness to learn. Ever. No matter what. Because he's a jerk like that."
Now we're starting to see a similar thread in Hans's Mist dream. Could it be that Hans got the wrong impression of Mist in his earlier trip then spread lies that were only accurate by his (highly skewed) perception of what was going on?

Does that make SoG a cosmic horror story? Humans can only exist while ignorant of their own flaws and other Lovecraftian themes?
