(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: “Honestly, I’m getting worried about her.”

Monika: “Natsuki, I know you’re worried about her. But…this is the first time you’re not freaking out.”

Yuri: (entering the clubroom) “Who are you two waiting for?”

Natsuki: “We’re waiting for Sayori. She hasn’t been herself lately and we’re concerned about her.”

Yuri: “Oh, I see. It’s nice that you’re both worried about her. Maybe you should try talking to her and see if she opens up about what is bothering her.”

Monika: “We’ve tried, but she just keeps brushing it off and saying she’s fine. It’s really frustrating.”

Yuri: “Sometimes people just need time and patience. She’ll open up when she’s ready. In the meantime, we can still show our support and let her know we’re here for her.”

Natsuki: “I guess you’re right. It’s just hard to see her like this.”

Yuri: “I understand how you feel, Natsuki. It’s never easy when someone you care about is going through a tough time. Just remember that we’re all here for her, and we’ll get through this together.”

Monika: “Thanks, Yuri. Your words of encouragement mean a lot. Let’s just hope she starts feeling better soon.”

(They all sit in silence for a moment, hoping for the best for Sayori.)

(Meanwhile, at Sayori’s house…)

(Sayori is getting all the things she needs for her twin gender reveal party - which she plans on having in the clubroom.)

Sayori: (excitedly) “Okay, balloons, check. Streamers, check. Cake, check. I think I have everything I need for the party! I can’t wait to surprise everyone with the news!”

(Sayori finishes gathering all the decorations and heads over to the clubroom, humming a happy tune along the way. As she enters, she sees Natsuki, Monika, and Yuri waiting for her.)

Sayori: (cheerfully) “Hey everyone! What’s going on?”

Natsuki: (concerned) “Hey Sayori, we’ve been worried about you. You haven’t seemed like yourself lately.”

Sayori: (trying to brush it off) “Oh, don’t worry about me. I’m just feeling a little tired, that’s all.”

Monika: (gentle) “Sayori, we care about you and we want to help. Is there something bothering you?”

(Sayori hesitates for a moment, her facade wavering.)

Sayori: (sighing) “Honestly, I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately. There’s a lot going on, and I’ve been struggling to keep up with everything.”

Yuri: (softly) “It’s okay, Sayori. We’re here for you. You don’t have to go through this alone.”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, guys. I’m sorry for shutting you out. I didn’t realize how much I needed your support until now.”

Natsuki: (hugging Sayori) “Don’t apologize, Sayori. We’re here to help you in any way we can. You’re not alone anymore.”

(Sayori’s eyes light up, feeling the warmth and love from her friends.)

Sayori: (smiling) “I’m so lucky to have all of you. Thank you for being there for me.”

Monika: (grinning) “Well, Sayori, we’re also here for another reason. We noticed you gathering all these decorations. What’s the occasion?”

Sayori: (blushing) “Oh, right! I almost forgot. I wanted to have a twin gender reveal party. I recently found out I’m expecting twins, and I thought it would be a fun way to share the news with all of you!”

Natsuki: (excitedly) “Twins? That’s amazing, Sayori! Congratulations!”

Yuri: (smiling) “That’s wonderful news, Sayori. We’ll make sure this party is memorable and filled with happiness.”

(Monika, Natsuki, and Yuri start decorating the clubroom, their worries momentarily pushed aside by the joyous occasion. As they work together, they can’t help but feel grateful for their friendship and the strength they find in each other.)
