(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Natsuki, where is everyone? I haven’t seen Sayori, Yuri, or MC in a while.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, it’s been strange lately. Sayori mentioned something about having some personal issues, but she didn’t go into details. As for Yuri and MC, I’m not sure. They’ve been pretty absent too.”

Monika: “Hmm, that’s unusual. I hope everything’s okay with them. Maybe we should check up on them?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, maybe. But you know how Yuri is. She can get pretty private about her problems. And MC, well, he’s Mr. Mysterious. Who knows what’s going on in his head?”

Monika: “You’re right. We don’t want to intrude if they need some space. But still, I can’t help but worry. We’re all friends after all.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, I get that. But sometimes people just need some time alone, you know? We can’t always fix their problems for them.”

Monika: “You’re absolutely right, Natsuki. We should respect their boundaries and give them the space they might need. But if they ever do want to talk about it or need our support, we’ll be here for them-”

(Suddenly, the door bursts open and Sayori rushes in, 7 months pregnant & tears of pain streaming down her face.)

Sayori: “Guys, help! My water broke! I think the baby’s coming!”

Monika and Natsuki: “What?!”

(Both Monika and Natsuki quickly jump to their feet and rush to Sayori’s side.)

Monika: “Oh my goodness, Sayori! We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Sayori: “There isn’t enough time! The contractions are getting closer together!”

Natsuki: “Okay, okay! Stay calm, Sayori. Do you feel the urge to push at all? And if so, how strong is it?”

Sayori: “I-I think so, Natsuki! The urge is getting really strong, and the pain is intense!”

Monika: “Alright, we’re going to have to deliver the baby here then. Natsuki, go grab some clean towels and warm water. Sayori, try to breathe and push when you feel the urge. I’ll guide you through it.”

(Natsuki quickly rushes to gather the necessary supplies, her hands shaking with anxiety. She returns with towels and a bowl of warm water, placing them next to Sayori.)

Monika: “Good job, Natsuki. Now, Sayori, listen to me. I want you to take deep breaths and push whenever you feel the urge. We’ll support you through this.”

(Sayori nods, her face contorted with pain but determination shining through. She holds onto Monika’s hand tightly as she continues to experience the intensifying contractions. Suddenly, the door opens again, revealing Yuri and MC standing in the doorway, their eyes filled with shock and concern.)

Yuri: “What’s going on?! Is Sayori alright?”

Monika: “Sayori’s water broke and she’s about to give birth. We’re trying to help her deliver the baby here, but we could use your support.”

MC: “Oh my goodness, I had no idea. Is there anything we can do to help?”

Natsuki: “Keep a calm and steady presence. We need all the support we can get right now.”

(Yuri and MC step forward, positioning themselves on either side of Sayori, offering their hands for her to hold onto.)

Yuri: “You’re doing amazing, Sayori. Just remember to breathe and push when you feel ready.”

MC: “We’re here for you, Sayori. We’ll get through this together.”

(Sayori squeezes their hands tightly, finding strength in their presence. With each contraction, she pushes with determination, guided by Monika’s instructions.)

Monika: “You’re doing great, Sayori. Keep pushing, the baby is almost here.”

(Several moments pass, filled with tension and intense pain. Then, finally, the cries of a newborn baby fill the room.)

Natsuki: “It’s a girl!”

Yuri: “Congratulations, Sayori! You did it!”

MC: “She’s beautiful! We’re so happy for you, Sayori.”

(Sayori’s tears mix with tears of joy as she holds her newborn daughter in her arms. The room is filled with a sense of awe and love.)

Monika: “Sayori, you did such an amazing job. We’re all so proud of you.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, you’re one strong mama!”

Yuri: “Your little girl is going to have an incredible, loving family.”

MC: “We’re here for you, Sayori. We’ll support you every step of the way.”

(Sayori smiles through her tears, overwhelmed with gratitude for her friends’ support.)

Sayori: “Thank you all, so much. I couldn’t have done this without you. I’m so lucky to have all of you in my life.” (to her newborn daughter) “And I’m so lucky to have you too, my little miracle. Welcome to the world, Sachiko.”
