[In the clubroom…]

Monika: “Um…where’s MC?”

Natsuki: “I don’t know, I thought he was supposed to be here by now. Maybe he’s running late.”

Sayori: “Or maybe he forgot about the meeting. He can be forgetful sometimes.”

Yuri: “I hope everything is okay. Maybe we should call and check on him.”

Monika: “That’s a good idea, Yuri. Let’s give him a call and see if he’s on his way.”

(Everyone gathers around as Monika dials MC’s number and puts it on speakerphone. But after a few minutes, it goes right to voicemail.)

Monika: “Hmm, it went straight to voicemail. That’s strange. He usually picks up.”

Natsuki: “Maybe he’s in an area with bad reception.”

Sayori: “Yeah, that can happen sometimes. Maybe we should try again in a bit.”

Yuri: “I just hope he’s okay. It’s unlike MC to miss a meeting without letting us know.”

Monika: “I agree, Yuri. Let’s give it a little more time and then try calling again.”

(They wait for a little while, growing increasingly worried. After a few minutes, Monika tries calling MC again, but it goes straight to voicemail once more.)

Natsuki: “Okay, this is really strange. I’m getting really worried now.”

Sayori: “Me too. What if something happened to him?”

Yuri: “We should consider going to his house to check on him. It might be nothing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Monika: “Sayori, you stay here in the clubroom. Yuri and Natsuki, we’ll go and check on him.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, we’ll be right back, Sayori. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Yuri: “Let’s get going then. MC’s house isn’t too far from here.”

(Monika, Yuri, and Natsuki hastily make their way to MC’s house.)

Sayori: “I hope my husband MC is okay. I can’t help but feel really worried.” (noticing her unborn daughter - Sachiko - kicking) “Oh my! Sachiko, are you as worried as I am? I hope nothing bad has happened to Daddy.”

[At MC’s house…]

(The three girls arrive at MC’s house, knocking on the door anxiously. After a few moments, MC’s tired-looking face appears at the door.)

MC: “Hey, guys. Sorry I’m late, I overslept. Is something wrong?”

Monika: “MC! We were so worried about you! Your phone kept going to voicemail, and we thought something happened to you.”

Yuri: “We tried calling multiple times and couldn’t reach you. We were concerned.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, we thought you were in trouble or something. But if you’re okay, then that’s a relief.”

MC: “Oh no, I’m so sorry for making you all worry. I didn’t mean to oversleep. My alarm didn’t go off, and I must’ve been really tired.”

Monika: “Well, just remember to set multiple alarms next time, okay? We were genuinely concerned for your safety.”

Yuri: “Yes, it’s important to let us know if you’re going to be late or absent. We care about you, MC.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, don’t scare us like that again. We don’t need unnecessary heart attacks.”

MC: “I promise, it won’t happen again. I didn’t mean to worry any of you. Thanks for checking on me, though. It means a lot.”

Monika: “Of course, MC. We’re a club, and we look out for each other. Now, let’s head back to the clubroom. Sayori must be really worried.”

(They all make their way back to the clubroom, where Sayori is anxiously waiting.)

Sayori: “MC! You’re okay! I was so worried. Are you feeling alright?”

MC: “I’m fine, Sayori. Just overslept, that’s all. Sorry for making you worry.”

Sayori: “Oh, it’s okay. I’m just relieved you’re safe. Don’t scare me like that again, okay?”

MC: “I promise I won’t. I’ll set multiple alarms from now on. Thank you, everyone, for caring about me. And Sayori…you’re the best wife I could’ve asked for.”

Sayori: “Oh, MC, you’re so sweet. I love you too, and I’m just glad you’re safe. Now let’s get back to our meeting- …oh…oh my gosh…”
