So right after I get the telegram, I headed straight to Vermont t Leper's house. Leper said he escaped from some spies and came right to his house. But actually he was sent home for a "section eight discharge"(pg.136). Then he just broke down into tears right there in front of me. And then randomly he started accusing me of knocking Finny out of the tree. So I kicked his chair out from under him, I know not a good idea but I did it any way. And to make it worse his mom walked in as I did that and flipped out at me. Saying "well, good heaven, the boy is ill"(pg.137), and like why would I ever attack a sick person. And then he invites me to dinner, I know random but I stayed any way. As we are eating he tells me about his hallucinations at the training camp. He told me that people's faces changed to woman's, and he saw soldiers carrying loose, detached limbs. But I could not listen any more, so I ran out. And started walking home away to the snowy fields.
