(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Yuri?”

Sayori: “I honestly haven’t seen her in a while. I honestly miss rubbing her belly and feeling Violet’s little kicks.”

Natsuki: “Me too. I’ll give her a call.”

(Natsuki pulls out her phone and dials Yuri’s number.)

Natsuki: (waiting for a response) “Huh…it’s going straight to voicemail. That’s strange.”

Monika: “Maybe she’s just busy or her phone’s off. But usually, she lets us know if she’s going to be late or if something’s come up.”

Sayori: (concerned) “Yeah, Yuri is usually very punctual and reliable. I hope everything is alright.”

Natsuki: (trying again) “Let me try again. Maybe she missed the call.”

(Natsuki dials Yuri’s number once more, but it still goes to voicemail.)

Natsuki: “Okay, this is getting weird. Yuri NEVER ignores our calls.”

Monika: “Maybe we should go check her house. I know it’s a bit intrusive, but if she’s not answering and we’re getting worried, it might be worth it.”

Sayori: “I agree. We need to make sure she’s okay. Let’s go together.”

(The three girls head out of the clubroom and make their way to Yuri’s house.)

(At Yuri’s house…)

Monika: (knocking on the door) “Yuri? It’s Monika, Sayori, and Natsuki. Are you home?”

(They wait for a moment, but there’s no response.)

Natsuki: (concerned) “What if something happened? Should we try opening the door?”

Monika: “Let’s give it a try. If she’s in trouble or something’s wrong, it’ll be better to find out now.”

(Sayori tries the doorknob, and to their surprise, it opens.)

Sayori: (worried) “Yuri? Are you here?”

(They cautiously enter Yuri’s house, calling out her name as they explore each room. Finally, they reach Yuri’s bedroom. They see Yuri clutching her baby bump with pain etched on her face, a clear sign she was having contractions - thankfully her water hasn’t broken yet.)

Natsuki: (noticing the pain on Yuri’s face) “Oh my god, Yuri!”

Monika: “Yuri, are you okay? Why didn’t you answer our calls? We were worried sick!”

Sayori: “Is the baby coming? We need to get you to the hospital!”

Yuri: (struggling to speak through the pain) “I…I didn’t…want to bother anyone. It…felt too early. But…the contractions…they started and…I couldn’t ignore them…”

Natsuki: “Yuri, you should have called us immediately! We’re here for you, no matter what. Let’s get you to the hospital right away.”

(The three girls help Yuri up and support her as they make their way out of the house and towards the car.)

Yuri: “They’re getting stronger…!”

Monika: “Hang in there, Yuri. We’ll get you to the hospital as fast as we can.”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, Yuri. Everything will be okay. Just focus on your breathing and stay strong.”

Natsuki: “Hold on tight, Yuri. We’ll make sure you and the baby are safe.”

(They quickly get Yuri into the car and Natsuki starts driving towards the hospital.)

Monika: “Yuri, try to relax as much as you can. We’re here with you every step of the way.”

Sayori: “Just remember, Yuri, you’re not alone. We’ll be right by your side, supporting you through this.”

(Suddenly, Yuri lets out an agonizing scream as her water breaks - signaling the start of her labor.)

Yuri: (about to give birth) “OH GOSH, IT’S HAPPENING!! VIOLET’S COMING!!”

Natsuki: “Hold on, Yuri! We’re almost at the hospital! Just try to hold Violet in a little bit longer, okay?”

Yuri: (starting to push) “I can’t…I can’t hold her in any longer! She’s coming!”

Monika: “Natsuki, drive faster! We need to get Yuri to the hospital right away!”

Natsuki: “I’m trying, I’m trying! Hold on, Yuri! We’ll be there soon!”

(As Yuri continues to push, Natsuki quickly drives to the hospital. All of a sudden, Yuri lets out a gut-wrenching scream as she starts to give birth on the spot. In an instant, Natsuki stops driving - leaving Sayori and Monika startled.)

Sayori: (panicking) “Natsuki! Why did you stop?”

Monika: “We need to get Yuri to the hospital! We can’t deliver the baby in the car!”

Natsuki: (frantically) “I…I didn’t know what to do! We can’t just leave Yuri here!”

Sayori: “We have to call an ambulance! They’ll know what to do!”

Monika: “Quick, Natsuki! Call 911!”

(Natsuki dials 911 and explains the situation to the operator, providing the necessary details and Yuri’s location.)

Operator: “Help is on the way. Stay with her and try to keep her calm.”

Monika: “Yuri, just breathe and focus. The ambulance is on the way. We’re right here with you.”

Sayori: “You’re doing great, Yuri. You’re going to be just fine. We’ll get through this together.”

(Yuri continues to endure the pain, clinging to consciousness as the girls comfort her.)

Natsuki: “I’m so sorry, Yuri. I should have driven faster.”

Yuri: (weakly) “It’s okay, Natsuki. You did your best. Just…just stay with me, please.”

(Within minutes, an ambulance arrives at the scene. Paramedics rush to Yuri’s side, assessing her condition.)

Paramedic: “We’ll take it from here. Is she in active labor?”

Monika: “Yes, she’s been experiencing intense contractions and her water broke.”

Yuri: (pushing with all her strength) “Please, just get Violet out of me!! SHE’S READY TO COME OUT!!!”

Paramedic: “We’ll help you deliver your baby, Yuri. Just keep pushing, and we’ll guide you through it.”

(The paramedics quickly set up their equipment and assist Yuri through the final stages of labor. With each push, Yuri’s determination and strength shine through.)

Monika: “You’re doing amazing, Yuri! Keep pushing, and soon Violet will be in your arms.”

Sayori: “We’re so proud of you, Yuri! You’ve got this!”

(With one final push, Yuri’s face fills with relief and joy as Violet is safely delivered into the world. The paramedics swiftly clean and wrap the newborn before handing her to Yuri.)

Paramedic: “Congratulations, Yuri. You have a beautiful, healthy baby girl.”

Yuri: (tearfully) “Thank you…thank you so much…” (cradling baby Violet) “Hello, my sweet little girl. It’s me - your Mommy. Welcome to the world, Violet. We love you so much.”
