Leper sent Gene a telegram to inform him that he had deserted the army and needed help. He reached out to Gene, his friend from Devon School, as he was in a difficult situation and trusted Gene to provide support.
Finny tells Gene that everyone has a "separate peace" inside them and that they must find it for themselves. He encourages Gene to let go of his competitiveness and jealousy so that he can find inner peace.
