[The smile has faded from his face; he's horrified. He wishes with all of his heart that he could have been there, that he could have done something. He could have saved her...
He almost voices that, but he's stopped by her words. After what she's been through, she's still so... so calm, so nice. She's trying to comfort him more than anything. It was quick, it was painless, and... and she had helped so many people. It's just like the way that he would only resort to his forbidden techniques to save many precious people... or like Gai-Sensei, who burned up his body to the brink of death trying to save the entire world from Madara.
"In front of a man who made an important decision… feeling sadness or pity would be an insult to him!"
Lee can't summon words immediately, however. Instead, he chokes back a sob before he throws his arms around her and pulls her into a tight hug.]
It... it sounds like you did splendidly, Yuri! These tears of mine... th-they are becoming tears of pride!
