(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Oh…oh god…oh…guys, my contractions are getting stronger.”

Sayori: “Oh no, Monika! Is it time? We need to get you to the hospital!”

Natsuki: “Calm down, Sayori. We need to stay composed here. Monika, try to breathe through the contractions. Focus on your breathing, just like in our literature club meditation sessions. We’re here for you.”

Yuri: “I’ll call an ambulance right away, Monika. Just hang in there, you’re doing great.”

Monika: (breathing heavily) “Thank you, everyone. I never expected this to happen in the clubroom…”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, Monika, we’ll take care of everything. Remember to stay strong!”

Natsuki: “Yeah, just a few more minutes and help will be on its way. Hang in there, Monika!”

Yuri: (on the phone) “Yes, hello? We have an emergency at our school’s clubroom. One of our members is going into labor… Yes, thank you.”

Monika: (gritting her teeth) “I… can do this. Just a little longer…”

Sayori: “You’re doing amazing, Monika! Just keep breathing and stay focused.”

Natsuki: “And don’t worry, we’ll clean up the mess afterwards. Your baby will have the cleanest birthplace ever.”

Yuri: “The ambulance will be here soon, Monika. Just hold on a little while l-”

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

Sayori: “Oh wow, this is really happening! Hang in there, Monika, we’re here with you every step of the way.”

Natsuki: “Stay calm, Monika. We’ve seen you handle tough situations in the club before, and we know you can handle this too.”

Yuri: “I’m so sorry you have to go through this, Monika. But you’re incredibly strong, and we’re here to support you.”

Monika: (taking deep breaths) “Thank you all… I couldn’t have asked for better friends.”

Sayori: “That’s what friends are for, Monika. We’ll get through this together, and soon you’ll be holding your precious baby in your arms.”

Natsuki: “Just keep breathing, Monika. You’re doing great, and the paramedics will be here soon.”

Yuri: “Remember to focus on your breathing and stay as calm as possible. You’ve got this, Monika.”

Monika: (smiling through the pain) “I’m so grateful for all of you. I never thought our literature club would be here for something like this.”

Sayori: “Life is full of surprises, Monika. And no matter what happens, we’ll always be here for each other.”

Natsuki: “That’s right! We’re like a family now, and families support each other through thick and thin.”

Yuri: “The ambulance is on its way, Monika. Hold on just a l-”

Monika: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

Sayori: “Oh my god! Monika, is everything okay?!”

Natsuki: “Hang in there, Monika! The paramedics will be here any moment.”

Yuri: “Keep pushing, Monika! You’re almost there.”

Monika: (grunting) “I… I can see the head!”

Sayori: “That’s great, Monika! Just a little more and your baby will be here!”

Natsuki: “You’re doing amazing, Monika! Keep pushing!”

Yuri: “Stay focused, Monika. You’re so close now.”

Monika: (straining) “I can’t… I can’t do it…”

Sayori: “Yes, you can, Monika! We believe in you!”

Natsuki: “Don’t give up, Monika! You’re so strong!”

Yuri: “You’ve come this far, Monika. Keep pushing, you can do it!”

Monika: (with one final push) “It’s a girl…”
