In this chapter, we are introduced to a number of characters, including a young boy, a girl, a boy's friend, and a man who has been fired from his job due to his "obsession with magic, horoscopes, and tarot cards" . We learn that the young boy is named denny, and that he works at a bakery called the "cake house" in a building near his school. The bakery is run by four guys named "leo," "wing," "denny," and "bob," who are friends of denny's since school. They are very kind and helpful, and the bakery is very successful.
