For once in a long time, Lee found himself entering the hospital as a visitor, and not as a patient.

He walked quietly as he could along the halls, sticking close to the sides so the nurses and patients could travel through as they pleased. There was always something about hospitals that he didn't like. They always smelled weird, and days spent there always felt like years. A hospital trapped you inside, with nothing but pain and discomfort to follow you. That's what it felt like when he had to stay, anyway.

It was a lot different having someone you knew and cared about inside, though. There, the hospital didn't seem like such a bad place. Instead it seemed like a place of healing, a place that you needed to be if you were ever to get better. That's how he saw it now, even though it was a little bit on the weird side of things.

Lee made sure that he made it at least two hours before visiting hours were over. He knocked softly on the door once or twice, then slid the door open. And there was poor Hinata.

He looked around, then let a bouquet of flowers lay on the table next to her. "These always helped me feel better when I was here. Perhaps, they will give you the same comfort as well."
