Now it's just got silly.

Whether it's part one in a plan or just a subconscious thing I imagine it's more about Dora and Faye.
de_la_Nae:
Maybe. I don't know what's difficult to believe or understand that she may just be setting out to be kind to someone who, as far as we have seen, has only shown her kindness.
No matter his other deeds, after all, in the story even Dong Zhuo had a mourner, to whom he had showed a kindness in the past.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Hannelore's experience with Sven is as a charming, attractive man who treats her with respect and is considerate of her boundaries.
While she has protective of friends reasons to be upset with him, she also considers him a friend. She's not fully confident in how social interaction is supposed to work, so she would be likely to listen to his side of the story before having her mother disappear him. Sven's side of the story has, pretty consistently, been "I fucked up." For all of her quirks and issues, Hanners is the most accepting member of the cast. Even without the charm, she'd be predisposed to forgive. With it, did she really stand a chance?
Keep in mind, for most of the time since he and Faye ended (that we have evidence for), Sven has been celibate, and generally inward looking, and self-critical. He's been bad at it, but Hanners is bad at life, too.
I'm sure this friendship is a retcon, but it is also a sensible one, given their history. Hanners is the first woman Sven has really treated as just another person. I suspect they have a strange form of mutual respect and are genuinely friends. Sven is Hanners's first date. Experiment or no, it was a good experience for the both of them.
I'm sure Hannelore is fully aware of Sven's shortcomings, but I think her emotional reaction to him is more akin to his defenders on the forum. She's intellectually aware, but she hasn't really seen it in action. It's not visceral to her.

Comic's up.
Momo is not very fast.
