They both find a seperate peace because they were both so different and their final paths ended up being different too. Even though Finny dies he doesnt have to suffer anymore and doesnt have to deal with not playing sports anymore. Also Gene doesnt have to deal with the guilt of trying to convince Finny that he purposely jounced the limb

Gene was able to find a "separate peace" becuase he knows that finny is not suffering anymore. And the accident was put to rest. Gen does not have to worry about competing with anyone, being envious. Finny on the other hand had a more permenant fate. He had died but atleast he was not suffering. He also did not have to live the the fact of knowing his best friend had done this to him. Finny never would have done anything to him like this and didn't want to know that Gene had created a hardship for him

He is sad but now he can get on with his life.

Finny and Gene both find their peace in different ways. Finny finds his when he crushes his leg he does come to terms with it, but his peace is destroyed when he realizes that Gene is the one who caused his leg to be crushed. Finny dies at the end and i guess that is how you could say he finds his peace. I'm not sure Gene ever does find his peace I think he will always feel guilty but he is finally able to know that Finny knows the truth about what happened to him.
By the end of teh novel, Finny and Gene do find a seperate peace. There is peace, because Finny is dead, and FInny scenario is seperate and different from Genes, Gene is not dead and Finny isnt at war like Gene is. Gene is content and mentally stable and hads classified Finny as his enemy. There seperate, and at peace.
Both Finny and Gene found their own separate peaces at the end of the bk since Finny died and left his wn feelings of resentment behind whereas Gene discovered how they all had lost themselves while preparing for the war but Finny had stayed true to who he was and how he remained innocent despite his shrtcomings. For example, Gene inadvertently caused his debilitating accident which also led to his death, but he never questioned Gene's friendship or motives and he gave him benefit of the doubt

Gene and Finny find a separate peace because now that they have been separated they do not have to deal with the struggles they face when they were together. Finny no longer has to feel the pain of the injuries he recieved or the pain that came when his best friend betrayed him. Gene now can develop his own identity without having to be brought down by Finny's perfection. Yet even though Gene has found this separate peace he will still have to live with the fact that his actions led to the death of his best friend.
Finny and Gene found a seperate peace in two different ways. Gene doesn't have to be always be envious of Finny, once Finny dies. Finny's peace is when he falls down the stairs and dies. He doesn't have to deal with the drama and lies anymore. He doesn't have to face the fact his bestfriend would do this.
