Who: Rock Lee and anyone who wants to visit him!
When: April 9th (backdated)
Where: Konohagakure Hospital
Notes: After getting heavily injured during a mission a few days before, Lee is finally awake and allowed visitors. He's feeling a little down, mostly because it was his fault things wound up this way.
His chest was wrapped with bandages but the worst of his injuries were hidden under his hospital gown. However, that didn't mean Rock Lee was unaware of his blunder. He had pushed himself too far and this was the result.
Rubbing his forehead, Lee slowly eased himself back against the raised bed. Neji and Tenten were safe, mostly fine. Alive. That was what mattered. It really mattered. And it did! But...
Lee closed his eyes, feeling resigned. He had failed, and that mattered too, to Lee if not to anyone else. He was going to need to fix that.

"What I lack," Lee said slowly, trying to rein in his own anger, "is support. I was never chosen to be the leader on missions. It was always you!"
And there went all of Lee's patience, soaking his words in bitterness. "Because everyone thinks you are better. And perhaps they are right! But I can't not be me so..."
So this was how it was going to be. Nothing was ever going to change because that required miracles and Lee had already cheated death twice. There was nothing left for me to hope to gain beyond his current state of mediocrity. And it burned to feel it was the truth.
