    The theatrical narrator role had shifted back to Amir, as he talked with Rahim Khan about the huge aftermath of his past actions. The photograph that Rahim Khan gave to him was the first time Amir saw Hassan smiling after the rape incident. Like Rahim Khan, Hassan began his letter by retelling the most recent acts of the Taliban’s unjust violence. He shared Amir’s nostalgia for the Afghanistan they knew of when they were children.
