"Phineas was shocked at the idea of my leaving. In some way he needed me. He needed me. I was the least trustworthy person he had ever met" (108)
This quote can go in two different directions, either this is true, or this is just another of Gene's make believe ideas. If Gene correctly interperated Finny's action, then he also admitted that he was very untrustworthy, which may be the cause of an unfortunate event later on in the book. Gene feels this feeling of content when he figures out that Finny does not want him to leave.
Does Finny really need Gene?
