I get back to school grounds, and find Finny in the middle of a snow ball fight with every one. Finny is in a walking cast now so he is mobile. Later today Brinker comes into the room to see if Leper is all better. Which he has he has changed dramatically. Brinker still thinks that Leper has cracked. All the boys enlisted to a safe branch of the military, unless for me and Finny. Brinker thinks I did not enlist because I pity Finny. Every one wants to make Finny accept his injury. Finny and I were talking and he now believes in the war because if it makes some one go crazy it must be real. Then tonight Brinker and some boys took me and Finny down to the Assembly Hall, to talk about Finny's injury. Finny said he did not know how he fell, he remembers me being there and Leper being there. Him and me were going to do a double jump and jump off at the same time. So then they asked Leper about the accident. Leper said that he saw two people in the tree, and saw one shake the other push the other off the branch. And then Leper clammed up and stop talking. Then Finny said he did not care and ran out of the room with tears running down his face. Saying "you collect every f--ing fact there is in the world"(pg.169). All he hear is his cane as he walks down then the hall. Then we hear his body fall down the marble staircase and we all rushed out to see what just happened.
