[Some time has passed since the end of the Valentines. Since Lee's feelings have... adjusted. And much of this time has been spent gripped by guilt and fear, about how dismissive and outright rude he had been towards Sakura. He knew he had to atone, but he was too afraid to see her.
Even though she lived next door to them, being a ninja comes with many ways to avoid someone when the time calls for it. He'd taken to leaving through the window each day to avoid bumping into her. But this could not last. And on this day, he steeled himself up to confront Sakura.
Early that morning, he stood in the hallway outside her apartment's door, rigid and petrified. After staring it down for a minute, he very quickly made a soft rap on her door. Then he found himself jogging in place for whatever period of time would pass before she opened the door.]
