The chapter opens with a brief introduction to the characters and the setting of the novel. The narrator introduces himself as "bock" , and the others as "the mob mob" . He tells the others that his mission is to find the dead and bring them back to the mortal realm. He also tells them that he wants to visit the set of a movie before he leaves. He asks the others if they have anything else to do, and they all agree that they do. He then asks them if they would like to see his diary, which he keeps in a notebook next to his bed. He wants to throw it away, but they don't want to, because he's worried about his mom's hoard of her possessions. He says that his mom is "whish weird" and that she's been hanging around his room all day. He's also worried that his dad is still around, but he doesn't know how to deal with it. He begs the others not to notice his journal, which reminds him of his dad's journal .
