(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “There! Everything’s all set up for today’s meeting. Now we just need Yuri.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, she’s always the last one to arrive. I don’t know why she can’t just be on time for once.”

Sayori: “Oh, don’t be too hard on her. She’s probably just caught up in one of her books again. We all have our own quirks, after all.”

Monika: “That’s true. And we wouldn’t be the literature club without Yuri and her love for all things poetry and fantasy. Let’s give her a few more minutes before we start.”

Natsuki: “Hopefully she gets here soon. My little bundle of joy Sakura is even more active than ever. She’s been kicking up a storm in my belly today. The struggles of being a pregnant club member, am I right?”

Sayori: “Aw, Natsuki, Sakura is going to be such a cute addition to our literature club family. I can’t wait to meet her.”

Monika: “Me too. It’s nice to see our little club growing in more ways than one. We have such a diverse group of members, each with their own unique interests and talents.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, but my life’s going to go from hard to straight up chaotic once Sakura’s finally born. I don’t know how I’m going to balance being a new mom and still making time for the club.”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. We’ll all be here to support you. We can take turns helping out with Sakura so you can still be an active member of the club.”

Monika: “Exactly. We’re like a family here, and we take care of each other. We’ll make sure you have all the help you need so you can focus on being the best mom to Sakura.”

Natsuki: “Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it. I don’t know what I’d do without you all. Okay, let’s get this meeting started. I’m sure Yuri will show up- Aah! Ow!”

Sayori: “Natsuki, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Natsuki: “I-I-I don’t know…it’s like a sudden sharp pain in my stomach. T-T-These aren’t just normal pregnancy pains…”

Monika: “Oh no, Natsuki! Someone call for help, quick! We need to get you to the nurse’s office right away!”

Sayori: “I’ll go get help! Hang in there, Natsuki!”

Natsuki: “Th-thank you, Sayori. I-I hope everything will be alright…”

Monika: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. We’ll take care of you. Just focus on staying calm and breathing deeply. Everything will be okay.”

(After calling for help and getting Natsuki to the nurse’s office…)

Nurse: “Alright, Natsuki. Let’s get you checked out and see what’s going on. Try to relax and breathe deeply while I examine you.”

Natsuki: (breathing deeply) “O-Okay…”

Monika: “We’re all here for you, Natsuki. Just focus on staying calm.”

Sayori: (holding Natsuki’s hand) “You’re going to be okay, Natsuki. We’re all here for you.”

Nurse: (after examination) “Looks like you’re having contractions earlier than expected, Natsuki. You’re going into labor. We need to get you to the hospital right away.”

Natsuki: (panicking) “Oh no, oh no! What about Sakura? Is she going to be okay?”

Nurse: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. We’ll make sure both you and Sakura are taken care of. The hospital staff will be ready for you when we get there. Just try to stay calm and breathe through the contractions.”

Monika: “I’ll get the car ready right away. Let’s get Natsuki to the hospital as quickly as possible.”

Sayori: “We’ll all be there with you, Natsuki, every step of the way. You’re strong and brave, and we know you can do this.”

(Monika and Sayori start to help Natsuki out of the nurse’s office and towards the car, all while her contractions increase in intensity. Monika starts timing Natsuki’s contractions on their way to the car.)

Monika: “
