Amir would then be able to begin starting his I-600 form and home study while Sohrab is in a safe place. After speaking with Mr. Faisal, Amir is brutally honest with Sohrab and tells him that the immigration process is more difficult than he expected. Amir then tells Sohrab that Mr. Faisal thinks it would be best if they put him in an orphanage for the time being. Sohrab begs Amir not to send him back to an orphanage. Amir tries to explain to Sohrab that the orphanage will be in a comfortable, safe place and that Sohrab will only be there for a short time. However, Sohrab believes that he will get hurt again and begins to cry hysterically. That night, Sohrab goes into the bathroom and attempts to kill himself by slitting his wrist while he is in the bathtub. Amir's honesty upsets Sohrab to the point that he attempts suicide.
