Arriving at Frankfurt Hahn late at night, how do I get to the city?

I've made an error in judgement and have booked my Ryanair flight to Frankfurt (HAHN, I didn't think RyanAir would take me this far out of a city!). It was cheap and I regret my decision now. The problem is that I arrive in Frankfurt Hahn airport (a good 90mins drive from the city) at 9:15PM.

The only buses I can see are around 12AM or 2AM. This means a BIG gap at the airport and I'm not exactly sure if it's legal for me to linger that long? I can linger until 2AM if I need to.

Alternatively I can just book another flight and say good bye to my relatively cheap ticket goodbye... but that seems more expensive than to just sleep at the expensive hotels at the airport. Can I even get out of this flight? It's for the 29th of September and with RyanAir. Sorry, it is my first time flying in Europe.

Note: I'm on a budget, taxis, private hires, etc are out. I'd rather wait for 5 hours in the dark than hire something that's going to break my bank.
