Yu Tsun assumed his superiors would understand that he killed a random man named Albert as a way of secretly communicating to them that their rival soldiers were stationed in the town of Albert, France—and this assumption, it appears, was correct, since Albert, France was subsequently bombed. Yu Tsun’s willingness to kill Albert even though they share and connect over a niche interest demonstrates the extent to which Yu Tsun is tied to his mission as part of the German war effort. However, his guilt about the murder coexists with his pride for fulfilling this mission; thus, Yu Tsun experiences the complexities of being both an individual and part of a larger cause.
