(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “MC, I had the weirdest dream last night…”

MC: “Oh really? What was it about?”

Monika: “Well, I dreamt that the clubroom was filled with talking cats. They were all wearing bowties and giving poetry recitals. It was so bizarre!”

MC: “Wow, that does sound strange. What were they reciting?”

Monika: “I couldn’t really understand all of it, but it seemed like they were reciting love poems. It was quite delightful in a peculiar way. I wish I could remember the verses, they were enchanting.”

Sayori: (bursts into the clubroom) “Monika, are you talking about talking cats?! I had the same dream too!”

Monika: “No way! You dreamt about talking cats reciting poetry as well?”

Sayori: “Yes, it was like a feline poetry slam right here in the clubroom, but the cats were all wearing tiny top hats.”

MC: “This is getting weirder by the second. Are you sure we didn’t accidentally go to some magical cat world in our dreams?”

Natsuki: (enters the clubroom) “What’s all this commotion about talking cats? You guys are being weird.”

Monika: “Natsuki, did you have any weird dreams lately?”

Natsuki: “Dreams? Ugh, I don’t remember my dreams. They’re not even worth talking about.”

Yuri: (quietly enters the clubroom) “Actually, I had a similar dream as well. The cats were reciting dark and mysterious poems. It was an eerie atmosphere but strangely captivating.”

MC: “So it seems like we all had similar dreams with these poetic cats. Is there some kind of hidden meaning behind it?”

Monika: “Who knows? Dreams can be unpredictable, but it’s fascinating how all of us experienced the same thing, even if it was bizarre.”

Sayori: “I think it would be fun to write our own cat-themed poems based on our dreams. We can have a special cat poetry event!”

Natsuki: “Are you serious? Cat-themed poems? Ugh, that sounds silly-” (feels a strong pain, but not from her unborn baby girl - Sakura) “AAH!!! Ow…my belly hurts really bad…this can’t be happening now…I’m only in my 7th month…”

MC: “Natsuki, are you okay? What’s wrong? Should we call an ambulance?”

Natsuki: “No, it’s…it’s probably just a cramp. I’ll be fine…just give me a moment- …oh…oh no…”

MC: “Natsuki, what’s happening? Are you okay? Do we need to get you to a hospital?”

Natsuki: (panting) “My water just broke…Sakura’s coming right here, right now…”

MC: “Oh my gosh! We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Monika: “I’ll call an ambulance immediately. Don’t worry, Natsuki, we’ll take care of you.”

Sayori: “Hang in there, Natsuki! Everything will be okay. Just focus on breathing and staying calm.”

Yuri: “I’ll gather some essentials for you, Natsuki. We need to make sure you have everything you need for you and Sakura.”

Natsuki: “Thank you, everyone. I…I didn’t expect this to happen now, but I’m glad you’re all here. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

MC: “We’re all here for you, Natsuki. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Just hold on, help is on the way.”

(As they wait for the ambulance, the club members do their best to comfort Natsuki. They reassure her and help her prepare for the arrival of her baby. However, Natsuki’s labor seems to be progressing much faster than normal - and within minutes, she’s already pushing.)

MC: “Natsuki, you’re doing great! Just keep breathing and pushing. We’re all here to support you.”

Monika: “Remember to focus on your breathing, Natsuki. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. You’re doing an amazing job.”

Sayori: “I’m so proud of you, Natsuki! Just a little bit more, and you’ll get to meet Sakura. We’re all here cheering you on.”

Yuri: “You’re incredibly strong, Natsuki. Just think about the beautiful moment when you finally get to hold your baby in your arms. That thought will give you the strength to keep going.”

Natsuki: (grunting and panting) “I…I can do this. I want to meet Sakura…I want to…be a good mom…”

MC: “You’re already a great mom, Natsuki. Just keep pushing, and we’ll welcome Sakura into this world together.”

(Moments later, the ambulance team arrives and takes charge of the situation.)

Paramedic: “Alright, everyone, we’re here now. Let us take over and get Natsuki to the hospital. You all did a great job in supporting her.”

MC: “But her labor is progressing much faster than normal. She started pushing before you arrived.”

Natsuki: (starting to push Sakura’s head out) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! HER HEAD’S COMING OUT!!!”
