Memory lane:

The boy incident made them start wondering if it was her. Once they saw her fighting style, they were pretty sure it was her.

haha… “you must hate Life”… more like “you must hate everything that happened from the beginning of Ending”…
I really hope that those biggest fans are numerous enough to make a difference in Danni’s treatment by authorities and it doesn’t have to be just Kleya who keeps her afloat =(

ALRIGHT Danni has fans! And possibly new friends, YAY!

I wouldn’t have thought the “I don’t do hugs” line would be popular with the fans. Looks like I was mistaken. 🙂

“I don’t do hugs.” You cold as ice Danni.

I think this means very few fans..

Yeah. Sounds like she only has a couple fans. Not enough to swing the numbers, but maybe they can help her in other ways.

Dude! WORLD TOUR!?

That hand looks like Danni’s… So what’s she apologizing for?

I’m also hoping that having (potentially) paying fans will keep Danni off the chopping block. Introducing them now, and that not being the case seems a little too dissonant, from what we’ve seen.

I think she’s apologizing for having been “blunt and aloof” to her real-world fans before the Ending.

Long-term, I don’t think Danni is destined for huge success in the Game, but it would be nice if there was enough interest in her performance skills to get the rules changed to allow her to make a living in L.i.F.e. Actually, since anyone can transfer money to anyone (as we’ve seen), she may not be able to officially charge for her dance performances in L.i.F.e., but I don’t see how they can prevent her from accepting donations from fans and making enough to pay her fees that way.

I don’t know how much her performances in L.i.F.e. resemble real-world performances, though, in terms of her actual skill making a difference. Not all of dance is about pure muscle control, which might be programmed– a lot is about interpretation, which should carry over from Danni’s own skill. So a ballet performance by Danni in L.i.F.e. should be better (more aesthetically satisfying to a ballet-loving audience) than a performance by an AI programmed by Kleya or Bandit, right?

One might ask if this society can afford to dedicate resources to the performing arts, but then again, what else is the Game? (Unless the real point of the Game is to flush out potential programmers to fix buggy software in the Cities, since there are so few programmers left after the Hacker Hunts.)

Yeah I’d been wondering about that. If you can’t do performances and things for a living then how does Mina singing get money? Or has that already been explained? If so could someone show me please.

Actually, if we go back, the rule of thumb is that Outsiders are allowed to perform for money, but Citizens aren’t.

And it’s already been (strongly?) implied that Mina’s family are Outsiders, since there was one conversation about them making enough money to move to a City.

So that’s the catch — Danni is a Citizen, and isn’t allowed to do dance performances as a means of income, though now that Danni == Daniella is becoming more known, her City might be forced to make an exception in her case. It’s kinda like telling a well-known author that s/he can’t keep writing when there’s clamoring fans waiting for the next book.

It wasn’t just “strongly implied”, they outright said they were stuck under some rock when they were discussing KIeya possibly moving into the City. They are Outsiders and that’s how they can earn money with things Citizens are not allowed to. It’s actually a pretty reasonable policy in a way, when every Citizen not working means less food produced… yeah.

aaawww she has fans, and world tour?! Wow!

I hope soon we’ll be coming to a reveal of whats going on in Danni’s reality.
From page 186 it gave the biggest hint with the heart monitor and the hints of her parents saying they’d work more hours, only eat the basics, just so that their daughter can ‘keep living’.

Plus her saying she only had until end of realities day now, and was going to spend it dancing.

This all suggests that in reality shes on life support, perhaps to the point that the only way she can communicate with her parents or anyone is through Life sense she expressed that her parents do watch and talk to her through it.. But the city finds her of little use and a waste of resources to keep alive (before she got into the Game), thus they gave her until the end of the day (on page 186), likely to say final good byes and enjoy her last few moments. Plus why she freaked when that Bot showed up.. how she wasn’t ready to go yet.

Now here her parents would have to log her out for her, that suggests shes unable to move to do anything herself. Paralized and on life support?

She said “I can move!” when Life went back on after a blackout, so I’m guessing yes )=
