[On Christmas Eve, a package is left outside Ai's door, under a miniature Christmas tree. The package is wrapped with green wrapping paper that has been bedazzled, and there is also a card for her.]
Dear Ai-san,
I have come to understand the truth. I apologize for my foolishness, and for seeing what memories I saw. You are a very strong person, Ai-san, and I respect you very much for it. If you would ever wish to discuss something, I am here for you! Otherwise, I will keep your secrets safe with me.
You are a valuable friend of youth, and I hope that you have a Merry Christmas.
Your friend of youth, Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee
PS: IF YOU DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS I APOLOGIZE!!!
[The end of the card is decorated in drawn hearts.
Within the package, the presents include a green friendship bracelet that says "youth", a green headband, a small green dumbbell, a book on meditation and a framed photo of Gai-Sensei.]
[After reading the note, she's not sure how to feel. While Ai could safely call Rock Lee a friend, he wasn't on that level where she could even begin discussing what had happened with her back in her world. Then again, no one was. Not yet. (Because she feels guilt and shame, she hates herself for all of that and for what she was growing up, her worth was nothing in the end--)
But she replies very simply and gratefully with a text post.]
Thank you.
Merry Christmas and I appreciate your consideration towards me.
[She's not sure what to do with the photo of... whoever that guy is, but the other gifts, she'll keep safe.]
[He replies back simply - he didn't expect her to open up, but it seemed fair to let her know that he had realized the truth. And he appreciates this gesture alone, so he replies back simply.]
You are very welcome. I tried my best!
Please have a merry Christmas as well, and take good care of yourself. : )
