like honestly it goes beyond just gene's actual time period because he knows so much more than he should about The Past (tm) due to seeing/talking to ghosts. Ghosts do tend to degrade over time in his canon unless they were Particularly Strong Willed in life but there was definitely a moment in Italy where a Roman soldier was like oh my god you can SEE ME please go get my buried gold I left it under a tree LITERALLY RIGHT OVER HERE go find it you can have it!! and other such shenanigans. HONESTLY I REALLY WANT NATE TO LEARN ABOUT THE GHOSTS EVENTUALLY because I think it'd be a cute thing to bond over. Gene is also a huge history nerd and loves learning so he'll just rapunzel-scoots-on-a-log-gif at Nate over the more technical/historian side of things.
