(In the school literature clubroom…)

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

Yuri: “I-I hope she’s not running late again. We have a-a lot to discuss today.”

Sayori: “I’m sure she’ll be here soon. Natsuki wouldn’t want to miss out on our book discussions.”

Monika: “Well, while we wait, we can start brainstorming ideas for our next club event. Any suggestions?”

Yuri: “H-How about a poetry showcase? W-We could invite other students to share their work a-and have a friendly competition.”

Sayori: “I like that idea! It would be a great way to showcase everyone’s creativity.”

Monika: “That’s a great suggestion, Yuri. I think a poetry showcase would really bring out the talents of our fellow students. Sayori, do you have any ideas for the event?”

Sayori: “Hmm, maybe we could have different themes for each round of the competition. Like love poems, nature poems, and maybe even spooky poems for Halloween.”

Monika: “I love that idea! It would add a fun and creative twist to the showcase. Let’s start working on the details and get the word out to our classmates.”

Yuri: (lifts up her uniform) “I-I’m sure my sweet little Violet is e-excited for the meeting today. She’s a-already kicking up a storm in here…ow!”

Monika: “Oh my, are you okay, Yuri? Maybe we should take a break and make sure you and Violet are doing okay.”

Sayori: “Yeah, we can always brainstorm more ideas later. Your health and baby’s well-being are the most important things right now.”

Yuri: “Th-thank you, everyone. I think I-I just need to sit down and take a breather. Violet seems to be quite a-active today.”

Monika: “Of course, Yuri. Take all the time you need. Your health and well-being are our top priority. And we can always continue our planning once you’re-”

Natsuki: (bursting through the door) “Sorry I’m late, guys! Traffic was insane today. What did I miss?”

Yuri: “AAH!!! N-Natsuki! You DO realize that I could pop a-any day now, right? P-Please try not to scare me like that!”

Natsuki: “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry, Yuri! I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you okay?”

Yuri: “Yes, I-I’m fine. Just a bit on edge with everything going on. L-Let’s just calm down and continue with our planning for the- …oh…oh, no…”

Sayori: “Yuri, are you feeling okay? Is something wrong?”

Yuri: “I think…I think my water just broke.”

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

Yuri: “Monika, it…it hurts so much. I-I think Violet’s trying to make her grand entrance right now!”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, Yuri! We’ll get you to the hospital quickly. Natsuki, can you help me gather Yuri’s things while Monika calls an ambulance?”

Natsuki: “Of course! Yuri, just hang in there. We’ll make sure you and Violet are safe and sound in no time.”

Monika: “Stay strong, Yuri. We’ll take care of everything. Just focus on breathing and staying calm. Everything will be okay.”

(Yuri nods, clutching her belly as she begins to feel the first signs of labor. The girls quickly spring into action, helping Yuri out of the clubroom and towards the school’s main entrance.)

Monika: “Ambulance is on its way, Yuri. Just take deep breaths and try to relax. We’re here for you every step of the way.”

Yuri: “Thank you, everyone. I-I couldn’t have asked for a better support system. I just hope Violet doesn’t decide to come out right here in the school hallway…”

Natsuki: “Don’t worry, Yuri. We’ll get you to the hospital in no time. And Violet will have the best entrance anyone could ask for – surrounded by her loving literature club family.”

Yuri: “That’s…that’s comforting to hear. Thank you, Natsuki. Thank you, everyone- AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
