When sleeping, April May ends up in the same room, which she discovers is in an, seemingly infinite skyscraper which contains a giant Carl statue, and is in a city of mixed architecture. A robot in the room wakes her if she talks to it. Through a puzzle in another room, she discovers the words ‘Fancy Tulip Man’, which gives her a confusing code. This code is thought to be hexadecimal by Miranda. While April May is trying to find out more about this abnormal dream world, the others find out that this dream is spreading steadily across the world.

She makes a 3-point guide on how to isolate yourself from love. Maya is fully aware of this part of April's personality, and has learned to live with it. She loves Maya, but is unable to show her true feelings.

Maya is irritated that April does not answer her question and talk about her future. That leads to April becoming defensive, and she tells Maya that they are just roommates. She also tells Maya that she is moving to Manhattan, for the sake of the story and her character on social media. Maya does not feel that she is important enough in April's life, and that leads to the breakup.

In the future, April will lack the support and love from her longest term friend.
However, until now Maya has been the force who kept April down on earth, and now without her she will be able to engage fully in the world of social media]]> 2020-06-24 14:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/qrv6rfap5x/cxhp1ubup6mbqm30/wish/638812509 Important parts https://padlet.com/qrv6rfap5x/cxhp1ubup6mbqm30/wish/638812510 1: When she signs the contract with Mr. Skampt's agency, so she is bound to that contract. We think it is going to have consequences for April later on, because she is bound to the contract - especially the fact that they forces her to be gay, and she can't be bi.
2: When she meets Miranda, the girl who studies science at Berkeley University. She is going to be very central for the story and April is maybe going to fall in love with her.]]> 2020-06-24 14:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/qrv6rfap5x/cxhp1ubup6mbqm30/wish/638812510 Summary https://padlet.com/qrv6rfap5x/cxhp1ubup6mbqm30/wish/638812511 April and Andy meet Miranda at the Hollywood Carl.

That means that the news is ahead of Andy and April. 
At night April has ‘the Dream’ for the first time. The relationship with Maya is getting worse.

She does not stick to the script, and she freestyles it. Andy does not like that. April doesn’t like the tv-shows generally, so she does not take it very seriously, and that is why she freestyles. After all the fame April and Andy have gotten, Andy’s dad wants them to join his agency. After recieving an email from a person on twitter, who is cross with April because she is rude, April decides to make a twitter account, so people don’t impersonate her.
