[He] said through lips that didn't feel like [his] own...(Amir) I felt like a man who awakens in his own house and finds all the furniture rearranged, so that ever familiar nook and cranny looks foreign now. Disoriented, he has to reevaluate his surroundings, reorient himself." This created a change in the whole reason Amir had to make things right. Knowing this pushed more pressure on his guilt and "[he] had to leave as soon as possible. [He] was afraid [he'd] change [his] mind."
