Detached from humanity! Danny where he's been in the realms for so long his humanity is non-existent. Cue finding his new play thing (the JL) and him just observing them like a kid observing an ant colony. He's curious as to why they're so determined to save the world and why they're so... Kind. And without a hidden reason, too.

So logically he masquerades as a child in distress out of curiosity (he just wanna feel human again)
