(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “I hope Natsuki gets back with our snacks…”

Sayori: “I hope so, too.”

Yuri: “Oh! Jeez…what a kick!” (rubbing her baby bump) “Violet, please don’t kick Mommy so hard.”

(Natsuki walks into the clubroom, holding a tray of freshly baked cupcakes and a bag of snacks.)

Natsuki: “Sorry for the wait, everyone! It took longer than I expected to bake these.”

Monika: “No problem, Natsuki! We appreciate your effort.”

Sayori: “They look so delicious, Natsuki! Can’t wait to try them.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Natsuki. I’m sure they taste as amazing as they look.”

(Natsuki blushes, a hint of a smile forming on her face.)

Natsuki: “Well, you better enjoy them. It’s not every day I go through this much trouble for you guys.”

Monika: “We appreciate it, Natsuki. Your baking skills are always worth the wait.”

Sayori: “Yeah, we’re lucky to have you in the club, Natsuki.”

Yuri: “Indeed, Natsuki. Your dedication and talent never cease to amaze me.” (putting a hand on her baby bump) “Oh!”

Natsuki: “Yuri, are you okay?”

Yuri: “Yes, I just felt another kick. I guess Violet is excited for these cupcakes too!”

Natsuki: “Wait a minute…Violet? Who’s that?”
Monika: “Oh, didn’t Yuri mention it? Violet is the name she decided to give her baby. Isn’t it cute?”

Natsuki: “Oh, that’s really sweet. Violet… I like it.”

Sayori: “It’s such a beautiful name, just like your cupcakes, Natsuki.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Sayori. That means a lot coming from you.”

Natsuki: “Well, enough talk. Let’s dig in and enjoy these cupcakes!”

(The girls sit around the table, savoring Natsuki’s delicious treats.)

Monika: “Mmm, these are amazing, Natsuki. The flavors are just perfect.”

Sayori: “I agree! They’re so moist and the icing is so creamy.”

Yuri: “I can’t get enough of the rich chocolate flavor. It’s heavenly.”

Natsuki: “I’m glad you all like them. It makes the effort worth it.”

(As they enjoy their snacks, the club members continue chatting and laughing, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere in the clubroom.)

Natsuki: “Hey, guys… I’m really glad to be a part of this club. You all mean a lot to me.”

Monika: “We’re glad to have you here, Natsuki. The Literature Club wouldn’t be the same without you.”

Sayori: “Yeah, you bring so much joy and deliciousness into our lives.”

Yuri: “And your presence always makes this place feel like a second home. Natsuki, you’re like a sister to me.” (feeling a strong wave of pain wash over her) “Aah!!”

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

Yuri: “I think…I think it might be time! I’m having contractions!”

Monika: “Oh my goodness! Yuri, it’s time for you to go to the hospital!”

Sayori: “We should call an ambulance!”

Natsuki: “Don’t worry, Yuri. I’ll help you get to the hospital. Just hold on, we’ll take care of everything.”

(Yuri, with a mix of excitement and nervousness, grabs onto Natsuki’s arm, and they quickly make their way out of the clubroom.)

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “They’re getting stronger, Natsuki!”

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

Yuri: (focused) “Keep going, Natsuki…”

(Yuri’s contractions continue to intensify as Natsuki hurries her towards the hospital. But before they could reach the door, Yuri suddenly lies collapses into a birthing position as her contractions reach their peak.)

Natsuki: “Yuri, is something wrong?!”

Yuri: (panting heavily) “I…I can’t…make it…to the hospital…”

Natsuki: “Why not?!”

Yuri: (straining) “The baby…she’s coming!”

Natsuki: “Oh my gosh! We need to find help, Yuri! Stay right here, I’ll call an ambulance!”

(Natsuki quickly dials the emergency hotline.)
