Completion

"...and though the tears rolled down my face, I wasn't sobbing or out of control." Page 288

The completion of Tommy and Ruth seem to have little effect on Kathy. Perhaps it is from her many years as a carer. She has been around pain, suffering, and death for so long that she no longer feels its loss. She is indeed sad, but as she said, not "out of control". This immunity to such grief is disturbing. Ishiguro ended the novel on a perfect note, making the reader question the emotional stability of Kathy. Her simple acceptance of her best and closest friend's deaths seems grotesquely insensitive compared to what the norm is in our own society. Perhaps this serves to contrast further clones from normal people.
