25.11.2025 08:03 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Maybe just because i read Remains of the Day last so it feels esp important, but I don't see people mentioning the subtext of post-war shame and guilt and the way the narrator refuses to engage with the brutalities of imperial Japan, even though it's explicitly mentioned towards the end
