Plot[]
Ran makes the birthday cake for God in the first season. Later, he is seen when Shun Maiyama and Kakeru Kazami go to his bakery to order a cake for Shun's birthday. Shun thinks he is pathetic because he gave up his dream of becoming a dancer,[2] but Ran says that he still wants to become one and started a cake shop because he was told he was good at it. Ran's reasoning is based on the fact that the desire to fulfill a old dream will become stronger if the person has a new one.
