Aside from Daring’s throwaway quip about it taking Rainbow forever to get there, which makes it quite funny to imagine purgatory in levels. Nothing here that hasn’t already been discussed, but the stadium does come alive. Maybe she’s getting closer.

I noted this:

”If you lived forever, why bother doing anything?”

It has nothing to do with the narrative, but that’s a powerful question. I am against living forever, and I think that living forever is woefully misguided. I love what this question poses. If you were to live forever, you have infinite time, you can procrastinate all you want.

A member of Pink Floyd (I forget who) notes that they’ve always been an atheist, because living forever would take away the power of this wonderful life. While I’m not atheistic myself, it’s still a fantastic quote. Living a life once is a powerful thing, why waste it on living forever?

Upon reading the secret chapter, Daring’s appearance makes a lot of sense. She’s an adventurer, and she can’t go on forever. But unlike Rainbow, she’s accepted that. Rainbow hasn’t.

Also, Rainbow Dash is still a Wonderbolt at this time, a very famous one. Noted.
