- Hahp wakes up when a wizard pounds on the door. The boys use the chamber pot and rinse with water from a faucet, and then they follow the wizard down the tunnel.
- For a moment, Hahp thinks about his roomie as Fishboy… and then the boy turns to him, addresses him by his full name (Hahp Malek), and says that his name isn't Fishboy, but rather Gerrard da Masi. Whoa, what? How did he know about the nickname Hahp used in his head?
- They step inside the room and see the boys sitting in a half circle around a wizard. He looks very old and possibly crippled.
- He says that the boys will begin to master their thoughts, and also that his name is Franklin.
