Chapter 6

As I’m lying here in my house I constantly wonder about what’s going on at Devon. I like to think about who misses me, and what the story must be of what everyone thinks happened to my leg. Even though I shouldn’t I also think about what Gene is doing and how he is doing. I also think about the Suicide Society, I wonder if they ever meet, and if Gene has taken my place, or if they never meet anymore and the society has just completely gone away. I also like to think about the games I created; Blitzball for example, does anyone still play it? Or was that just something people did to make me happy. The doctor told me I’m not allowed to play sports anymore which upsets me because there was nothing I loved more than a good game. However, before Gene left when he came to visit me I did tell him something I hope he listened to me. I told him that if I could no longer play in sports then he would have to play for me. He said that he would, so if he does he will need to do some practicing because he is not as good as I am.

Finney spends time thinking about his past and wondering how everyone is doing. 

Finney tells Gene that he needs to play sports for him since Phineas no longer can.

"Listen, pal, if I cant play sports, you're going to play them for me," - Page 77 Phineas explains to Gene that since his leg is shattered he can't play sports, so Gene needs to play for him.

"And I lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become a part of Phineas." - Page 77 Gene believes that the reason he caused Finney to fall is because he wanted to secretly wanted to become the new Phineas.
