(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (already fuming, despite the intense pain in her lower abdomen) “GAH! Yuri still hasn’t arrived yet?! Where is she?!”

Monika: “Calm down, Natsuki. Your anger won’t help a thing.”

Natsuki: (finally calming down) “Fine…I guess I freaked out a little too much. But…this pain is no joke. And I’m only 7 months along in my pregnancy.”

Sayori: (entering the clubroom) “What’s going on?”

Monika: “Natsuki is worried because Yuri hasn’t arrived yet, and she’s also experiencing some intense pain.”

Sayori: “Oh no, Natsuki! Are you okay? Should we call a doctor?”

Natsuki: (holding her belly) “I think I’ll be fine, but Yuri should have been here by now. I hope nothing happened to her.”

Monika: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. Let’s give her a call and check if everything is alright.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Yuri’s number, anxiously waiting for her to pick up.)

Yuri: (over the phone, sounding breathless) “Hello?”

Sayori: “Yuri, where are you? Natsuki is worried, and we’re all waiting for you in the clubroom.”

Yuri: (apologetic) “I am so sorry, guys. I got caught up at the library and lost track of time. I’m on my way now.”

Sayori: “Okay, just make sure to get here safely. Natsuki isn’t feeling well either.”

(Yuri hurriedly hangs up and rushes to the clubroom.)

Natsuki: (relieved) “Finally! What took you so long?”

Yuri: (catching her breath) “I’m really sorry, Natsuki. I didn’t mean to worry you. I lost track of time while researching for a project.”

Monika: “It’s alright, Yuri. Just make sure to inform us if something like this happens again, especially when Natsuki is not feeling well.”

Natsuki: (softening her tone) “Yeah, Yuri. I know you didn’t mean to be late. Just please be more careful next time-” (her pain starts getting more intense) “OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!”

Sayori: “Natsuki, are you okay? The pain seems worse now.”

Natsuki: (grimacing) “It’s…getting worse…I th-”

(Suddenly, Natsuki’s water breaks, and she gasps in surprise.)

Monika: “Oh my goodness! Natsuki, your water just broke!”

Yuri: (panicked) “What do we do?! I’ve never been in this situation before!”

Sayori: (trying to stay calm) “Okay, we need to act fast. Natsuki, try to take deep breaths and stay as calm as possible.”

Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) “Sayori…I don’t think I can…I feel like I need to push.”

Monika: “It’s okay, Natsuki. We’re here for you. Just do your best to breathe and try not to panic.”

Yuri: (nervously) “Should we call for an ambulance? We might need professional help.”

Natsuki: (struggling) “No time, Yuri…the contractions are too close together…”

Sayori: “Okay, Yuri, help me quickly prepare a clean area for Natsuki to deliver the baby. We’ll need towels and warm water.”

Yuri: “Right, I’ll go grab some towels and fill a basin with warm water.”

Monika: “Natsuki, just keep breathing and pushing when you feel the urge. We’ll support you through this.”

(Natsuki continues to endure the intense pain and tries her best to push during each contraction. Yuri and Sayori quickly bring towels and a basin of warm water to the clubroom.)

Yuri: “Here, Natsuki. We’ve prepared a clean area for you.”

Sayori: “Natsuki, we’re here for you. You can do this.”

Monika: “Remember to breathe, Natsuki. Just a little more and we’ll see your baby.”

(Just then, Natsuki lets out a guttural scream - a sign that her baby was on its way out.)

Natsuki: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Yuri: (frantically) “
