Nick is acting both as the storyteller and the warner in Chapter 6. By relaying Gatsby's background to the reader, he makes it clear that the social lines between Gatsby and Daisy aren't going to be erased by something as easily obtained as money. From the outside, Nick is able to see the cracks in Gatsby's plan and lifestyle. He seems disillusioned and anxious throughout the chapter.

Nick senses an unpleasant feeling in the air. Though he was once happy around his companions, he now feels a sense of foreboding. Gatsby's parties aren't the exciting spectacle they used to be. He isn't enjoying himself now. He can see that Gatsby and Daisy are not headed for a good ending. Gatsby doesn't have the social graces he needs to be part of Daisy's world. Nick can see that reality, even if Gatsby doesn't.

Because Nick sees the reality of the situation and knows the truth of Gatsby's background, he's able to be Gatsby's confidante. Nick is the person who worries for him. He's the one who warns the reader that this story isn't going to have a happy ending. It's not a traditional love story where Daisy and Gatsby ride off into the sunset. The anxiety and worry that Nick suffers colors his tone throughout the chapter. He tries to warn Gatsby that he can't repeat the past—even while he charges forward

Nick takes on a cautious nature, he becomes Gatsby's confidante, learning more about the man of mystery than he wants to know. He is fearful for Gatsby, knowing how intense the man feels for Daisy. The chapter is narrated with anxiety and worry, there is intensity in Nick's narration in this chapter, the final paragraph conveys Nick's feelings of confusion and fear.
