"He shook his head sharply, closing his eyes, and then he turned to regard me with a handsome mask of a face. 'I just don't care. Never mind,' and he started across the the marble floor towards the doors."
Phineas did not want what happened in the tree to be something that reflex bad on Gene. He does not seems to be upset about it and just wants the pass be the pass and move on with his life but this seems to be difficult concepted for the other boys in the school ,especially Brinker, to understand. They feel the need to bring it to Finny's attention, like he was not aware of what happened to him. When Phineas left the room this demonstrates his loyalty to his friend. He did not point the finger at Gene like everyone was doing. Instead he defended Gene until the end and when his argument fell apart he rather walk away then to have them put the blame on Gene. Nothing good could come out the gathering, Finny would still be crippled and will always consider Gene to be his best friend.
How is Gene going to react Phineas' second accident? Will he try to blame it on himself or Brinker and the others? Or is he going to deal with it differently?
