"'We can't do a damn thing about it,' he said ruefully."

I picked this quote because it was so out of character for Finny that I couldn't help but notice it. So, he finally lets himself admit that the war is real, and he shows his anger and frustration in that sentence. He lets himself show that he's powerless, which doesn't seem like a usual, normal thing for him. He's just giving up, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person to ever give up.

Did Finny know that Gene jounced the limb, because he told everyone Leper was back, as if he wanted to get the news, too. It was like he didn't know.
