Gene has a definite dark side lurking beneath the surface, though he appears to be a good, honest person in his everyday life. The book is spawned by a later visit to Devon, and of his strong memories and lingering feelings about what happened in 1942 at Devon. Gene loses his innocence as a result of the accident. Consequently, he becomes a harder more pessimistic person.
