Atonement

Atonement: reparation for an offense or injury
I think there is some way that this is possible. I think it might be indirect though. Like by doing something good for someone else that had nothing to do with he sin or mistake you originally made it could be a reparation. Then again I feel like maybe it isn't possible, that by doing something wrong there is no way to go back and fix it in anyway. Like what is done is done.
After reading so far I think that Amir seeks atonement for the way he treated Hassan and how nothing ever came up about what happened in the alley with Assef and Hassan. I think think that maybe Amir regrets not going to help Hassan and if not that at least talking to him about it or telling someone else what happened so that maybe the issue could be resolved. Because by Amir not doing anything it just made the whole situation worse for everyone, even their fathers. At this point I'm not sure there is anything he could do to "become good again" and receive the atonement he seeks.
