Long Answer
1. Gary probably would not have been fishing alone if his brother had still been alive. If Dan had been present to witness the encounter with the Devil, Gary’s reliability as a narrator would be less ambiguous. Gary’s relationship with faith would likely be different as well, since Dan’s death caused his mother to lose faith, while Gary turned to church as a source of stable support. (Various pages)
2. Since Dan’s death, Albion has encountered his own crisis of faith. He feels compassion for his young son, who turns to the Bible in a time of crisis. He also feels worried about the seriousness of Gary’s claim, since bringing a Bible along is an extreme reaction for a 9-year-old whose dad initially hoped he was just dreaming or overly imaginative.
