He was not brave enough to help him or even admit that he saw it happen, which stayed with him forever.
This event also contributed in causing Amir to rescue Hassan's son from the Taliban group Assef was in towards the end of the book.

You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.
