Oh very late response, sorry about that! That is such a great point about Yinsen, I never noticed that Tony doesn't mention him, which is unusual for Tony who seems to bare all his weaknesses for everyone to see. I feel like he really took to heart so many things said by Yinsen in the cave and while Yinsen was dying, after having sacrificed himself. I wouldn't be surprised that he finds it difficult, if not impossible, to actually talk about what happened in that cave with Yinsen.
Yes, that scene when he goes to Gulmira, you can absolutely see the drive to fix things taking hold of Tony. While he had some vague ideas about doing good with the armor even prior to that, it was only when he found out about what was still happening in Gulmira that he was regalvanized.
Later, when he talked to Pepper, it was like he was possessed. I had forgotten this scene altogether, where he said, "There is nothing except this. There's no art opening. There is no benefit. There is nothing to sign. There is the next mission and nothing else." I had goosebumps!
I definitely see that, "Don't waste it" dying command having a great hold over Tony. It's why Tony can't seem to stop, even when he wants to, when he has issues that he should be dealing with first.
