I believe Gene may have simply went home backntonSmish country!!! Gene is also mentioned in another story of this author. But I like how to connected things.
Wich one?
Rumspringa no joukei hes the mc’s cousin or sumn and he left Amish country lol
I thought he never went back and that’s why Danny was so upset. Maybe Gene died from the hiv outbreak (heard it was pretty big during those years) and considering how dear the uncle is to the family, perhaps he was the one who suggested the nephew‘s name, after his dearly beloved Gene. God, I hope not. I want a happy ending. ;-;
Man...i hope its not that, ppls storys about AIDS always hurts my heart.
Present day is the 90s...and the time he met Gene was during the 70s....this takes place in New York...depending on what Gene had been doing there’s a high chance he might have been one of the victims of the epidemic
